Voski Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Why not order it from Neal? Plus free shipping. Plus FOTM... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erufiku Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 the size is not a cheap move to make us irritated... giving 50g less than regular tubs means you'll run out faster and buy more (.2 times faster). that's right, captain obvious to the rescue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep re-using that tabby, just adding a bit to replace the burnt top layer and it still tastes amazing. Don't know if Fantasia does that but then again T's is 12.95$QUOTE Im not sure if youre being sarcastic or not... He was saying they make fantasia 200g's to trick the less receptive buyer into thinking its the norm weight shisha is usually sold in.My line of argument would still be that they want people buying their stuff more often. With the old price it's about same price as AF, maybe a buck more expensive so I bet a lot of people shrugged it off and just ordered Fantasia even though it's 50g less. Not exactly tricking, but close I really know nothing about the costs of shisha production, but given the general retail trends I would say the extra 50 grams would not break their back. It's all about convincing people to be "willing to pay the premium" as someone already said in the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voski Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Blueberry turned weird for me after a while. I liked it a lot in the start but it was just too weird after like 30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canon Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 actually price matching wont really work because they dont give the discount when you do that if i remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow that just sucks. Fantasia is more expensive wholesale than alot of other brands. Terrorist Mart, the smoke shop on the East Bench where I live has to sell it for 6 bucks a 50g. It is over-priced tobacco though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikon1323 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 that really sucks about that i just got some fantasia from MNhookah and i love the stuff....so i guess ill just have to get it in chi-town or different site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indian_villager Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Or get it from Neal! He is an amazing fellow and he did send out the samples! I don't think we are obligated to give him business for it but I still do! HORRAY DPG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog_916 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 You want cheap and good buy Nakhla. I bought 500g for 14 bucks. The 2 flavors I got were melon and grape and they were fantastic. For the first time (EVER) I could actually taste the flavor in my mouth, like eating a ripe cantaloupe. A++++ Fuck Fantasia, Dreamz, Starbuzz, and Fumari. Fuck em all. Nakhla bends them over and rapes them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 lol @ Bulldog.Another Nahkla brother Ladies,vote with your feet - It's quite simple. If you don't like the price then don't purchase it. In fact I would suggest supporting vendors who keep there prices low.If you support such vendors then they will probably keep there prices low.Maybe H-S have a huge customer base not of this forum? Good luck to them. But the forum members can vote with there feet.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxik916 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 This is pretty sad H-S is the only online vendor that I've ordered from and I felt loyal to them. I guess it finally gives me a reason to order from Neal now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
