peterjmag Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Out of curiosity, how many of your sessions are with mixed flavors?The reason I ask is that I mix flavors almost every time I smoke, but it seems to me that many people on this forum tend to stick to packing single-flavor bowls.I love to experiment with all sorts of different mixes, usually packing my bowls with two or three flavors of shisha. The only times I smoke bowls with just one (straight bowls, as I call them) are when I'm trying a new flavor or when I just want to smoke a favorite flavor by itself (Layalina Mint, for example), but even then, it's somewhat uncommon for me.What about you guys?

leadpipecinch21 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 probably 75% of the time i have some mint mixed in with whatever i'm smoking, but i just really like mint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKammenzind Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Well, for me it depends on my current shisha situation. If I've just bought a bunch of flavors that are new to me, I'll want to try them all out by themselves a couple times. Otherwise it's 50/50 whether or not I mix.

Snoopy1966 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 For me I would say I smoke a single flavor 75% of the time. When I do mix it is usually only 2 flavors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahwahoo2006 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Single flavor for me about 85% of the time. When I mix it is usually two fruit flavors or vanilla and a fruit flavor like cherry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
questions Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 This is the best timing I have ever seen on a thread before..I literaly last week had this conversation when I realized that I send out samples to lounges and stores and just send out a single flavor..and some people get it and complain,...say i send them a blueberry and the guy will tell me that he hates blueberry no matter what, well that sucks I just wasted a sample..but I only smoke mixes unless I am just testing a flavor...so why would a seasoned hookah smoker just smoke say blueberry...I think a two fruit mix is the way to go...it is like a smoothie..who would eat a strawberry smoothie without any other flavors..very little I assume...just my two cents but I was about to write a thread like this today..so good thinking...

ahwahoo2006 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I dunno, Questions, I think I enjoy the smoke more when it is a single distinct flavor, but thats just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahara Smoke Co Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I cant remeber the last time i smoked hookah with just a single flavor. I always smoke blended bowls. its so much fun mixing flavors to see what new taste i can create. the best is mixing brands as well as flavors. Last night i smoked some AF grape with HH orage and afzal blueberry- I proably could of not added the blueberry afzal for a better taste but it came out pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattathayde Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 i usually go to a lounge and get mixes (unless it tangiers lime by it self, or something like irish cream SB)when i go to friends houses its either one of them only really does solo but the other always mixes cause his roommate works at a lounge-matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alademuerte Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I would have to say 90% of the time it's a mixed bowl. I always try different flavors and only try a flavor by itself maybe once or twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarCuzz Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 99% single flavor, 1% mixed flavors... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryno Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I don't smoke shisha mixes too often, maybe 10 percent of the time, but thats been getting a little higher lately. Although, I'd say over half the time I mix koolaid packets in the base or something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamscott06 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Im like.. 95% single and only 5% mix. I dont care to mix my Tangiers, its good enough for me not mixed. I only mix af/layalina. Vanilla and Mint go well with pretty much anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fineout Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 ive only mixed like once, mainly due to my issue with not having many different kinds of shisha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalutika Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I'd say about 50% of the time I mix. I am still trying out as many new flavors as I can to find my favorites so for the most part I am dealing with 50g samples. I always smoke a pure bowl of a new flavor at least once or twice and then after than the remaining shisha usually gets mixed up and smoked.Saturday night the second bowl of the night was about 50% Romman Apple, 20% Pharaoh's Triple Apple and 30% Romman Nectarine. It was really nice with great clouds. Fruity with just a hint of spice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaypourus Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Its about 90% Single flavor, 10% mixed. I usually enjoy the complexity of a single flavor...I find that adding in something else can muddle the taste. I've even found that I dislike the effect of mixing some flavors I really like such as Apple/Double apple and melon.I do like adding AF honey or SB Vanilla to liven certain flavors up a bit.

burton_o6 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I almost always smoke Strawberry and Lemonade (strawberry lemonade) once a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff_T Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I'd say about 75/25. I'm low on all flavors now, so its all mixed, but its mostly singles. Just lit up some Tangiers Clove and Pharaohs Chocolate Mint. Enjoying it with some iced coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I say normally I mix 75% of the time, except now after being on the forum for a while I am branching out and trying new flavor's and brands, so I am kind of seeking out good flavors so right now, it's about 25% mixing...got a few kilos and home and more on the way. but once I get through that I will be back to mixing again!

DarkParade Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 i prefer solo flavors because ive noticed when you mix flavors together some of them have different burn lengths so you can end up with a crappy flavor half way threw a session even tho its not even spent so+1 single flavors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidglass Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) I normally smoke a mixed bowl. There are exceptions though like pre mixed flavors examples: SB-lemon mint, Romman-Goodtimes, etc etcBut even so I'll normally add a bit of vanilla here and there or some mint. Or some melon for a smooth flavor.Just depends on what my tastebuds are telling me to smoke. I am curious though, why haven't I seen a sticky thread ALL ABOUT MIXES, seems that that'd be a great idea, because sometimes I just don't feel creative and look up mixes online to see what I can make with what I've got. we can find mixes throughout the forum but no dedicated thread.
