inino Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 ya thats wierd. both of those flavors should be pretty pungent. as far as the peach tea goes if you want to enhance it you could put peach tea in the vase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I'll assume that you're using water in the base. What temp. is it at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicalHookah Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 hes using coldwater from the tap with no ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Try room temp. water and see if the flavor increases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Thats a humidity effect, potentially. Are you using a Mya with a common or open bell? If so, it could be residual buildup in the bell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clickhea Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 yep smoking it on a little mya qt, what do you suggest i do to fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 i say acclimate longer. My blueberry tasted like plastic/ass and i acclimated it it took 3 more days and i had already acclimated 3 days so 6 days total then it started to really smell and taste like blueberries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clickhea Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 acclimate it for a week? holy cow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMoodz Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 1 week is indeed a long time for acclimation. I usually do one day. I have the Tangiers spread out evenly in gladware containers and while acclimating the lid is only covering half of the container. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicalHookah Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) Someone please come up with a solution for this kid b.c if I smoke one more bowl of just plain smoke with him I am gonna kill myself LOL.. we have it every night just so he can get it "right"....

jezter6 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I have similar issues. I acclimate for ~24 hours then put into a baggie (yes, I know - bad idea) and then it turns to bbq sauce smell in the bag, and little flavor but nice huge clouds.Can you "unacclimate" it by putting it back in a bag???Eric?

clickhea Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 see my tobacco smells like peach in the tupperware, smokes awesome great buzz, but very little to no flavor.i even smoked it in my KM last night and had the same problem since eric suggested it may be something with the mya(which iam still unclear on) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inino Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 ive sprinkled sugar with the shisha to enhance flavor before. like a teaspoon well mixed in with it. other than that i dont know what to tell you. if your hookah and hose are both extremely clean and your water is good and your bowl is packed well it should all smoke good. maybe try some different coals. ql's or something similar may draw flavor out of it.

clickhea Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 well ive had it acclimating for a week straight and still the same issues so i dont know, maybe the flavor is just very very light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 i say bad batch even though I've been told from many eric never produces a bad batch, but there is always a first.If you have acclimated long enough (which you have b/c if you didn't it would be too hard to smoke) and it still tastes like nothing and you are getting good, non harsh clouds, and you aren't over heating the bowl, I vote bad batch.

lp640man Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I just used the rest of my peach teach that I had left over from 3 weeks ago.Was by far my best smoke with Tangiers ... Full of flavor and buzz on the 3rd hit . The tobbacco was supper wet (sappy)...I did not acclimate after reoppening the container (after 3 months) just gave it a good stir and was set. When I had first smoked peach .tea was very faint , the buzz was there not so much the flavor...Just ordered more...not sure the science involved behind why it was so good after settling for months but it was...Anyone else try that? Smoking settled wet Tangiers ?How was it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clickhea Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 thats exaclty what iam getting very faint flavor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinky Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 That is what I get, if Tangiers isn't compacted very well. So it is slightly to little tobacco. It smokes pretty good, but taste is missing. So try to pack it a little more tight. I realized it because I am having a new issue with Tangiers right now. Tangiers is back to wide cut again and I figured out how to pack it right. But now that I am towards the end of the bowl all wide-cut parts have gone and the tobacco left in tube is of a finer cut. As I pack it like I did before it just compacts to a big black mass and doesn't smoke very well. Burns easy and molasses appears on foil. If I pack less, I either get thin and harsh smoke or what has been discussed here. Good smoke, no taste. Has anybody else experienced this? What solutions did you find?

Sonthert Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Since we cut it all by hand, it will vary depending on day and time. We try to keep it in a certain range though, honestly, I don't think it makes a difference, standard or phunnel bowl, it should be packed to the same density.
