AKammenzind Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 No flavor? I'd try mixing it up, and letting it all sit out on a table for several hours... it seems to help a bit. For the orange you could add a bit of orange zest to it to freshen it up a tad. Also might wanna give your hookah an extra strong cleaning.

Also might wanna give your hookah an extra strong cleaning.I would agree with a good cleaning (couldn't hurt anything, right). But one admonition -- after I gave my MZ Horas B a very, very thorough cleaning (had to remove some spots of rust around the weld line in the tube) it took a few sessions to get any flavor back into the shisha. Didn't do anything particualrly different during smoking sessions either. It eventually worked itself out: after the thorough cleaning (I'm talking bar keeper's friend and a phosphobronze brush on a rifle cleaning ram rod here - no joking around) I would just use a gentle plastic bristle brush to loosen up any gunk in the stem, run some water through, and dry with a patch of cotton. After about the third or fourth smoke it seems like the stem had been properly "seasoned" and would allow a good amound of flavor through.Only other thing I found made a big difference was using Brita water. The crap from the tap was killing any taste.Best,Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racemyghost Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Well nahkla's banana used to be excellent stuff. Im talking 2-3yrs ago. Ever since they switched the banana to new packaging, every box ive gotten has sucked.Coconut has never really had flavor. Strawberry is extremely sweet so im suprised you arent getting any flavor with that. Same with orange. Nakhla makes the best orange/mandarin to date.

Stuie Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Add a few millilters of Vegetable Glycerin and mix it up and let it sit for overnight. But I would ask JD he is the Nakhla Specialist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquidglass Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Yeah, honestly guys, I've had the same damn problem. I always thought it was a result of smoking too often and my tongue not tasting as much. But it could have to do with cleaning it (scrub it with gun cleaning kit and lemon juice, every time i use it). or I thought it might have to do with sinuses, weather (too cold, distracts from taste), or even my tongue scraper might take off too many tastebuds. opinions?

liquidglass Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 bump, for any ideas, because i'm curious what i'm doing wrong sometimes. I'm usually great at packing it but sometimes it just doesn't taste like it normally does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
