MWlax00 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Okay, so my nakhla was extremely dry, so i decided to add some honey to it. I didn't add too much, from what i know. Just enough to make it a lil stickier and wetter. I loaded a bowl into a phunnel, and got like zero flavor. It wasn't bad, nor good, just like, nothing. I know the batch was good before the honey because i smoked it daily. also, it was windy outside, but i dont think that should matter too muchwhat do you guys think went wrong? and what shuld i do?Is it possible to add too muh honey? (but i dont think i did.)any suggestions would be greatly appriciated.cam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWlax00 Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Oh, it was nakhla cinnamonand it kinda smelled like cinnamon, but not as much as it did before i added the honey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyj316 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 nakhla is normally on the dry side... did you smoke any before you added the honey?just because a shisha is "dry" doesn't mean it won't smoke well... FYI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbCorruption Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Did you keep the shisha in an air tight container? It's possible that all the flavor has evaporated out of the shisha. In that case honey probably won't do much for your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shalowlow Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I know you said you didn't add too much, but any additions is gonna change the flavor somewhat....maybe you actually did put too much. Let it sit out for a little and see if anything changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbCorruption Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Also if you have used a good portion of the shisha, and you did not mix it well, then you could just have a section that did not have much flavoring/juice on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead_lemons Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 nakhla cinnamon is the strongest flavor ive ever smoked. its probly the honey killn it for some reason, try glycerin next time maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 If you use too much honey it will probably make it sweeter and kill the cinnamon taste, you need to mix in 5 tsp of glycerin. Buy it at Michaels or something it is 1.50 for 2 oz which is enough for 2 250g tubs, and 1 tsp of honey, and you will be good to go my friend.
