barrenwizard Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Nakhla - Unaccurate Flavour, After Taste, Serious BuzzAl-Waha- Unaccurate Flavour, After Taste.Side note: Why headaches? I believe you're smoking in an enclose area such as in a room or something? Without proper airflow? Cause only that would make get headaches due to lack of oxygen. Only Nakhla, that would seriously makes my heart pumping, casued by the niccotine level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 i stay away from al fahker because im terified of bad batchesstarbuzz is on the no list because its prices are no were near the qualityi smoke alot of hookah-hookah/freak since they revamped it a couple months ago. the new ones have a longer lasting flavor produce bigger clouds and the shisha itself last longer due to more glycerin and honey . but it still fairly easy burn, but not as bad as it was. its pretty good now it dont have the cigarete esk taste to it.

JDHarding Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) Maybe it's the setups. Coals, pipes, hoses, packing, heat management, all those things have to be taken into account when trying a shisha. Everyone's set up is different. Maybe out of a Mya, or a Khalil Mammoon AF smokes really good or really bad, and out of a cheap or brandless pipe they smoke really bad or good. Who knows. AF used to smoke pretty good out of a mini hookah I had, but out of my bigger one it's horrible stuff.Though I really blame my Golden Quicklights for a lot of the nasty flavor I get. And the rusted hose I was using. Edited February 5, 2009 by JDHarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NarghileNights Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 you guys are snobs every brand has it's flavor that is better than all the others.if you are avoiding different brands, you are limiting your hookah palette in a way that is not contributing to you being the hookah connoisseur you think you are.

Blueberry for one smelt like dirt, i let it acc for about ... 2 weeks ... and still horrible, only flavor i got to smell yummy was probably k-peach and k-cherry, and i tried about 10 diff flavors. Must be climates causing different issues for different people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seefoodlover Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I avoid Nakhla and some Fusion flavors. Nakhla is just way too much buzz for me. And Fusion gives me headaches. I use a standard Egyptian hookah, and 3kings coals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inino Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 ive been smoking the new fusion here and there and honestly i couldnt tell the difference, it was still kinda bland in flavor. pretty much the only brands i smoke are layalina, tangiers, and home made tombak. so i cant really down any other brands.

On the inhale it didnt really taste like much (Maybe cooking oil smoke) But I figured out that if I take half a lung worth of a hit and the rest air I will taste it in the exhale. Even then it was ok at best. Edited February 7, 2009 by indian_villager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 hmm odd, i love the pear, stuff is damn tasty.But for fusion all the inhales just taste sweet to me, I get the flavor on the exhale always.Clove is spectacular same with CG same for all of them on that damn list !!!my pallet just loves it what can I say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
