mitchard Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Get Cactus Pear. I have tried a few kinds of Fusion, and that was EASILY the best. I will be ordering atleast 250g of it next time I make a nice order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattarios2 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Cactus pear, pear, champagne grape, guava, clove, sour apple, (are my fav so far) and then try a few others ... I pretty much only smoke nakhla and fusion. I would smoke tang but was giving me inconsistent smokes cuz of this damn weather so, yeah nakhla and fusion are my go to's. Order from hookahjohn he has all the new batches that taste far better than their older stuff.I definitely think their new stuff is up and coming, you can get it for the same price as most other brands, AF, Tang, etc. with the discount from john, shit smokes forever, flavor lasts the entire time, easy to smoke, big ass clouds, gives a relaxing buzz for me unlike other washed shishas like AF, they use honey (which is a plus, instead of the bowls burning they just taste extra sweet because of the burning of the honey, so you get sweet hits rather than harsh ones, just re arrange coals and it's back to normal) and they have cool flavors and a shit ton of em, (something like 70-75 flavors or so)Definitely give their stuff a go, but don't give up if you try a few that you don't like, because that is what happened to me, and then I found a bunch of their flavors I REALLY enjoy, more than any other brand other than nakhla.so be warned, like all other brands there are some flavors you won't like for sure.The only downside is their new batches only come in 250g and some flavors have food coloring in them.Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 ya i really try to keep my business with john but he only has 4 flavors in 50g sizes i'll give him a call and see if he can get some more.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 wow he must be really selling the 50g's he had like 15 50g flavors a few days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 sorry for another post, was too late to edit. Another thing is, since there is honey, it makes it so the shisha isn't so drippy. Other washed brands tend to have a shit ton of glycerin in it but fusion seems to have the perfect ratio of honey to glycerin so it isn't messy, and juice doesn't slop all over the place after a bowl, just another tid bit for ya.Oh and the cut is a very nice medium cut, not fine like AF and what not, much easier to pack a good flowing bowl.

Hippo_Master Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) Crap.Gooey, small cut, glycerin blasted crap.Every time I have had any amount of Fusion, it was at least 60% goo. That amount of Honey/Glycerin take away from any flavor that is trying to come through, which is why I have not yet had a great flavor or experience from Fusion.

ryno Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I've only had a few flavors of theirs and have been impressed with all of them. Cactus pear, pear, blueberry, passion fruit, sour apple and white grape. Favorites of those 2 would have to be sour apple and passion fruit.. Always good clouds and a relaxing buzz.

mattarios2 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 well they have blue tins and black tins, the blue ones are new, seems like everyone i've got is medium cut , and then the black tins seem to be the newest, all the ones i've got are medium cut, not incredibly juicy, has the perfect ratio actually. not defending the brand, just stating the truth with the "newer" batches.Older stuff def was fine cut, and had much more juice than the new stuff.

Their tobacco was terrible, you had to smoke with a Phunnel or nothing. Is their cut more like Starbuzz now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 eh I haven't had starbuzz in a long time, it seems they may have had older cuts and stuck them in the new tin, a bud of mine got ... umm ... i think it was wildberry mint (i am not a fan of it, it's ok but not awesome for me at least, lots of flavor but, eh) and it was a fine cut, but all the new flavors and stuff i have ordered from john has been a newer medium cut, and not soaked like AF. I'll take some pics at some point and post them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Ninja Robot Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I had a couple 50g that tasted like next to nothing - cactus pear and kiwi orange.the 50g of clove was fantastic though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbs Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I've had a few different Fusion flavors.Apple Pie - A lot like cinnamon, but pretty good overall.Choco Mint - Very flavorful, nice natural chocolate flavor much like an andes mint.Cactus Pear - Hard to pick out what fruit it tastes like but I thought it was pretty decent.Wild Berry - Wasn't digging this one for some reason.

This was a generally asked question about a brand, not a specific like "What do you think of Fusion Cactus Pear?" Trying to get an overall feel through the review section is a major pain because personal tastes differ so widely. But back to the topic..... In my personal opinion nobody does pure fruit flavors better than Fusion. They also do the best Honeyberry I think and their Irish Cream is amazing. I don't like their vanilla - it's very dark in flavor, not lightly sweet like AF. Oh! And their Mandarin is wonderful if you like orange flavors.'Rani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
