Priapus Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 ok, so i caved in and found a shop that does the soex brand. i ended up getting watermelon. i just smoked for about a hour, and then the smoke went all harsh real quick. can anyone give me some advice how to keep it from going harsh? or is it ment to only last a hour? i am using quick lights, with star pattern (*) holes in the foil. should the holes be big or small? how should i pack the bowl? note: still looking for a place to get some AF.

indian_villager Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I noticed that with some flavors the stuff would go bad fast. I tried the mint and it died like 20 mins in. But the only redeeming flavor from soex is bombay pan masala and that stuff lasted me like a good 1.5hrs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doubon Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 The general consensus of this forum is to steer clear of herbal/non-tobacco shisha's. I have never tried it for myself but supposedly there is an exception. Some brand on www.hookahcompany.com . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 There are four herbal brands and I rate them in this order (Best to Worst):1) Hookah Hookah Black Label2) Saalaam Natural Molasses3) Soex4) High-Life Smoke HerbalSoex is like that. Most people can't get past the flavor of the cooking sugar cane for longer than 20 minutes. Nut much you can do except make sure it's not touching the foil and use a phunnel.

Hojo Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I'm actually surprised you outlasted the shisha. I have a bunch of Soex that I bought for the hell of it (I got it for about $1 per 50 gram box), and every flavor I have tried has been thrown out within minutes. It's garbage.To answer your question though, I would say it depends on how much you packed in there. It could be that you only packed an hour's worth of shisha, in which case you smoked it to completion.If you find some AF, buy it. You'll never touch Soex again.
