Hardly Any Flavor?!

[halcyondays]

Hey guys, last night I made a bowl of half orange and half vanilla. It was my first mixture so I tried to keep it simple. So, I got everything going and at first I got no smoke so I put another coal on. Then, I began to get tons of smoke but could hardly taste the flavor at all. It was basically just like smoking plain old smoke with, not a bad tasting flavor, but no flavor at all. I think it might have been that the shisha was dried out by the time I got the coal going and everything but both flavors were from brand new packs of Hookah Hookah tobacco. It smelled great and I thought it'd be really flavorful. Did I do something wrong? Any suggestions?

yes and no. your wrong was buying hookah hookah.

in all seriousness, get a phunnel bowl, it doesn't allow the juice to drip out of the bowl.

first of all it is hookah hookah which isn't that great second wash your hookah out with lemon juice and hot water that might help. smaller holes might help also

Might be your tastebuds too... if all else fails, take a couple of days (weeks) off. Seemed to have worked for many people.

well i got the hookah hookah because that's what they use at the hookah bar that i go to and it's always really flavorful and the other day i used raspberry and there was a really great flavor. but, i'll try those suggestions. also, i had the tobacco nearly to the top and i think the foil was touching it, is that bad?

If it's not harsh, it's fair game. Don't overpack it though or it won't cook evenly.
