Opened Up A Can Of Starbuzz (5 Month Old Can) And Saw

[newjacksm]

Black liquid on the rim of the tin. It looks weird, there was no black stuff on the shisha just around the rim of the tin and inside the rim of the cap when I took it off.

Anyone know what could cause this?

[mattarios2]

so the color on the tin can cover isn't the same color as the shisha?

keyboard is a bit dirty there bud, heh spill a few things on it or what?

[Scoop]

not sure what that is, but good lord your keyboard needs a deep clean!

[joytron]

that exact same thing happened to me (watermelon).


Have no idea what it is, but I tested the shisha and it smoked fine

[newjacksm]

yeah my keyboard is like 5 years old I never cleaned it once and the flash doesnt help

My V gets stuck time to time.. I may get a new keyboard... Edited December 26, 2008 by newjacksm

I had that same keyboard then it died randomly after about 4 years, solid keyboard if you ask me.

Anywhoo on topic goodluck with the black stuff im sure the shisha is fine though.

[NickReppinThe909]

it just looks like the molasses was exsposed to air for a while and dried out and "oxidized"

Probably a leak in the packaging.

Yeah I am smoking it now I mixed White Peach with Pumpkin pie and a little coconut smoking pretty nice! I have been mixing all my shisha that I cant fill the funnels with

I got Chocolate and Vanilla too, need to pick up mint locally I will probably pick up Nakhla mint because the guy that sells AF Mint here sells 50g AF for 10 dollars and AF250G for 20....

I agree..it looks like the package inside leaked and you have dried/oxidized juice. If it smokes fine i wouldn't worry about it.

I love Nakhla mint, prob because i prefer spearmint over peppermint

I've found variations of this among all my "tin" packaged shisha. Starbuzz, Golden Layalina, even Potion. But not in all tins. It's almost like the protective coating is too thin in some places where it's rolled. In some cases it smokes fine, in others I can tell by the smell it's way off so I toss it. Seems to be worse in more acidic flavors like pineapple. It may be just that. An acid reaction to the metal of the can. Just like tomatoes are never supposed to be left in a steel pan. Because of it I've decided in the future, I'm going to toss the tins. Plastic wear at the 99 cent store is more airtight anyway. I've got three plastic bins of Fusion where I peeled the lables carefully off the tins and stuck them right on the plastic wear. Works like a charm and if it didn't...... That's what write-on address labels are for!

Some of mine did the same thing. I just whiped it off and smoked it anyway. It smoked fine

[ambuletzd2h]

i had the same thing happen with my skyzz and i just cleaned it off. i dont think its anything major

[liquidglass]

it's jsut the molasses being exposed to air and drying out, no biggie, it eventually happens with all starbuzz especially.

[hookah hippie]

I have seen that on old cans before nothing new

[AzZ]

Off topic but you can try compressed air to clean that keyboard! Also google 'keyboard dish washer' as most are dish washer safe and work fine after; as long as they're completely dry (so i've read...).

[AmunRa]

I've had that happen with other brands too. It's just leaky packaging. The tobacco should be safe, and should smoke fine.

[mattathayde]

ya when the starbuzz leaks it turns the cans weird colors, if it smells ok i wouldnt worry about it

Well, one person was close...its what happens when food-colored, water-based liquid has the water evaporate. All thats left is the residue from the artificial coloring...it forms a black-looking stuff. All concentrated artificial colors are very dark. Green and blue appear black. Yellow appears brown. Orange appears yellow. Red appears red (but will dry out to black). They will all, more or less dry out and become more and more opaque until they are black. It should be fine to smoke...although it will indicate there is a declining amount of water in there.
