delSol_si Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Ok, so I bought had some cherry shisha(can't remember the brand, I think it was Layalina) and it had very little to no taste. I work at a local high class restaurant that serves homemade, fresh cherries jubilee. We top ice cream with the goo, and since this is a flaming desert, we don't want to put too much of the liquid on the ice cream(mostly try to put the cherries on) so to make a long story short, there is usually left overs when someone orders this. I am a huge fan of buss tub buffet, so I usually wait till the stuff cools off and put it in a to-go cup and take it home. I was irritated with the lack of flavor, so i figured what the hell, why not try to mix the two. The first attempt, I just loaded the bowl with shisha and drizzled the jubilee on top and let it sit a bit to soak in. Yes, this does make a huge mess when using a regular bowl. It smoked amazingly well. Awesome taste!I did this method a couple times with different shisha flavors and such and worked wonderfully. I then decided to pour some of the jubilee into the bag of shisha itself before packing the bowl. I poured it in and then squished it all around and packed the bowl. To my disappointment, I couldn't even get the bowl to light. Spent 15-20 trying to get it to start and never would.I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to either fix the method that failed, or to improve the method that worked?? BTW, I smoke Layalina simply because I have had the best luck with it. I am also hoping this isn't a repeat post, I did a search and didn't come up with anything, but that doesn't mean there isn't one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Tough to say. Too much water, not enough volatile material. Maybe adding too much dampens the heat too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpw36 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 try using that instead of glycerin in your drier shishas such as nakhla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookah_Bob3 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 What if you tried mixing that stuff with some vege glycerin before adding it to the tobacco? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I would guess its more like adding a bag of ice to a pan of water and expect it to boil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
