Kc-Bassist Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 ok so i got my new hookah about two weeks ago It's a three hosed 22' orion from socialsmoke and it seems everytime me and my girlfriend n friends smoke out of it you get the flavor but its very faint. The smoke is thicck and the shisha isnt burning to much but we hardly get any flavor. Do you think its my hookah? I remember the first time i smoked hookah it was from a friends single hosed 12' and it tasted great and thats what i wanted my girlfriend to experience hookah but now she losing patience with it I have tried about 5 times now but the same result i tried different methods and everything but still jsut a very light and faint taste and only when you exhale can you taste it is that normal?

srawas89 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 hmmm I have heard that Soex is horrible though I have never tried it as well. I have not tried Laliyana as well but I would say buy some AF tobacco they have great flavor as it seems it might just be the tobacco either that or give your pipe a really good cleaning and check to make sure that the hoses are not dirty. I know you have recently purchased your hookah so cleaning it might not be the issue but go ahead and do it because you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 in my experience new hookahs are actually quite dirty. definitely give it a cleaning if you havent already. if still not luck and you are sure you are not burning the shisha, try a different brand, and then work from there.

fiddlercrabus Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Soex has a very weak flavor IMO. Try using just the layalina and three half coals(one and a half total). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjdx88 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Make sure to use room temp to warm water too, cold always seems to weaken the flavor. Layalina but AF is a good way to go. BTW soex = smoke that is cancerous that has no flavor cuz theres no tobacco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Layalina about half the batches i have got no matter what i do i can't get a strong flavor.Soex it's hard to taste the flavor because of the cooking sugarcane stalks.Break the QLs in half and spread them around the bowl evenly. Start with 4 halves and take it to 3 if it starts to get harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momatik Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 It has to be the shisha. If the smoke is thick as you say, and it isn't harsh, then its the shisha no question.I don't know about Soex but looking at these posts it isn't very good.You should be getting flavor from Layalina, but make sure it isn't old and dry.
