OC4111 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I've been smoking Lucid for a few months now and I am a Tangiers fanboy now. AF was up there but I've been having all sorts of issue with it. From Pineapple that tasted as if it had been sprinkled with cayenne pepper to shisha that smells like plastic, to possibly being affected by the red dye. The issue is Lucid doesn't have that many flavors and I'm thinking of making a pretty big purchase imo (1.5 kilos, i usually smoke alone) in the next couple of weeks. I want to try some of the OG flavors but gotta admit I'm a little intimidated by the buzz factor. For those that have smoked both, or any other washed shisha compared to OG tangiers. How big a difference is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How big a difference is it?personally I dont know, I just bought Blue Gumball Tangiers so I am going to give that a try I cant see the buzz factor being any different from Nakhla because they are the same in nicotine . Nakhla did how ever knock me on my ass in a good way for about every 20 seconds till I got the hose again (smoking with about 5 or 6 people) Nakhla I am pretty sure is an unwashed shisha at .5% nicotine same as tangiers.

OC4111 Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 It's still 6x more nicotine than most washed shishas which are usually .05%. I used to smoke cigarettes so I'm thinking it shouldn't be too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Original Tangiers is a Kick in the Teeth! I LOVE IT! That's why I smoke it and Nakhla!I also notice with anything I smoke if I have it on the coffee table and I lay down on the couch and smoke the buzz is much less.

ryno Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 How often do you smoke? I mainly smoke af and nakhla and smoke a few bowls a day and dont have a problem with the buzz tangiers gives. I'd just suggest that you dont smoke on an empty stomach and have something to drink and you should be fine. I think I get used the a Tangiers buzz more than anything faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OC4111 Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 I smoke almost everyday, haven't smoked since sunday cuz my throat was starting to feel funny. I didn't want to make it worse. I usually smoke after dinner so the empty stomach thing won't be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NarghileNights Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 my honest belief is that you don't get a huge buzz omg~~!!11! from og tangiers if it is loaded correctly.you run into the huge buzz when you don't put enough tobacco and you get the hot thin smoke that makes you cough.

mattarios2 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 well there is a big difference to lucid, but if you used to smoke cigs you should be fine. I would smoke it without worry if I was you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoop Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 regular is .3%.you get the buzz until you get used to it, then you hardly get it the same way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newjacksm Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Sorry just had some confusion in some of the reviews some people posted .5% for Blue Gumball, Myster Meat and some other flavor and other posted .3% figured it was the lower number was Lucidshould of checked up on that.

Codename067 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 As mentioned, since you smoked cigs before, there is nothing that you should be worries about.If anything, it wont be long before you dont feel a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefin Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I had been smoking lucid horchata and cocoa for a while and wanted to see what it was like to go balls out with the tangiers regular. I was nervous about it...but I smoke frequently enough to where I didn't really get a noticeable buzz. You'll be fine. Enjoy all the additional flavors you get to experience. The downside is all the careful acclimation and packing you have to do. It's worth it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplexCoda Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 OG doesnt hit me hard, i just prefer lucid. Just in terms of user friendlyness and because im the only one that smokes around here that can handle OG, so i dont want to smoke alone more than i already do.

Bulldog_916 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 You dont have anything to worry about. Tangiers Original doesnt hit me hard unless I havent smoked it in weeks. Even then, its just a mellow buzz. I dont buzz from anything else anymore. AF doesnt do it. Nakhla is the same as Tangiers. Enjoy it! You wont pass out!
