redrum10498 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 just found a new smoke shop...ironically a block away from my usual one...a big painted hookah on the window caught my eye. Went in, and they carry an abundance of flavors of Starbuzz shisha. I've heard a lot about the brand but never tried it because I've only seen it online, and never had the ambition to order any when I can get 50g of Romman or Al Fakher for $4.00 a few minutes from my house.I have probably a combined weight of 2000g of shisha at home, but no starbuzz...is it worth getting some anyway or is all hype and no pipe.

AKammenzind Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Starbuzz is decent, but IMO just not worth the price. Unless you can get it cheap, I wouldn't bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom1 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Try it and find out? If all you can get are 50g's for 4 bucks plus tax It would be the same price as 20 for a 250g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrum10498 Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 It WAS all i could get haha. This new place i found sells 50g, 100g, 250g, and kilos of multiple brands. I'll never go back to the old place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentBob Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 i think SB is worth the price depending on the flavor, if you can get it for $17 or less that is. stores around here sell it from $17 to $25. kiwi strawberry is my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehelios Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 HUGE smoke but flavor doesn't compare to AF IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 i guess it depends on what flavor...i had watermelon starbuzz...and i have watermelon al fakher i will have to do tonite to compare and post my verdict..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKammenzind Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 You can get huge smoke with Nakhla, which I buy for 1/3 to 1/4 the price of Starbuzz. Just add a touch of Glycerine and you're good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Ninja Robot Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 depends on the flavor. As earlier posted the shit's just too pricey so if you can find it cheap go for it.I really enjoy Tangerine Dream and X on the Beach.The thing about SB is that despite the monstrous cloud ability and longevity of the shisha itself the flavor tends to dissipate within 20-30 minutes of the session to a mere echo of what you started with, to more of a generic candy sweet taste.

mattarios2 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Not worth it in my opinion, there are better brands, with bigger buzz, or no buzz depending on what you like, and better, much better flavor that lasts a lot longer ... Fusion, AF, Tangiers, and many others for a fraction of the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
engineonmute Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 personally i like it, i've never come across a disgusting starbuzz flavor yet. their flavors are pretty strong too and a little on the expensive side. i don't smoke all the time so buying starbuzz isn't that bad. i've heard af is stronger flavor but i dunno, never tried it cuz its not sold around here.if you smoke a lot, id say go for something cheaper tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inino Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 i dont think its worth it. some flavors are great, and i only buy them on rare occasions. there are brands better than starbuzz for way cheaper. especially if you smoke alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinamon Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 no, its not worth it.sure they may have a few really good flavours but that does not make it worth the $17-20 price tag considering what else is out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 i just hope i can find a watermelon thats like starbuzz..because i really dont want to keep dropping $20 every 8-10 days.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 If you can get the 100g tins it's not so bad to try some every now and then. But I am not a big fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalliwag Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 If I had to pick any one brand and flavor it would be SB Peach. If you can't get that shit to smoke really good you'll never get a good smoke. It is worth the extra money to me. To me there's a difference in quality like a really good hamburger or MacDonalds whatever the eff those things are they sell as burgers. Hell, I'll pay $6 or $7 for a real good burger but you couldn't give me a McD I'm not saying the other brands are bad, you just need to try SB Peach and let me know what ya think.

NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 when it comes down to it, you have to try it for yourself..and decide if its worth dropping $20 for 250g jar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookahseattle Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Starbuzz is very worth it!!! I love the flavors they offer from them. If your going to get a starbuzz for the first time and a\like some fruit I would totally get blue mist. Margarita is very nice, we put lime in the base to add a little more flavor. Starbuzz is probley my favorite!!!! A question to other people is has any body tried starbuzz watermelon??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElijahSing Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Starbuzz is definately worth it!!!I'm smoking strawberry right now, and It's amazing!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilarseny Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I got some in a trade a while back, and at the price I paid I don't regret it. Definitely wouldn't pay ~$20 for a 250 of either flavor I got, though. I actually found it touchier than AF/Fusion--what I normally smoke nowadays, with the occasional nakhla--for me, SB burned pretty easily, and even when I did get it smoking well the flavor didn't last particularly long. White peach did taste pretty good, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 i used to think sb was decent, but last week i had starbuzz watermelon then later in the day i had al fakher watermelon and i couldnt tell the difference..so im just going to finish the sb jars i have then to hell with them and there price tags..

FactorE Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 its worth it for Kiwi, chocomint, bluemist, tangerine dream, melondew, pineapple, and cosmo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
