clumsygrace Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Has anyone noticed a recent lack of them? I used to smoke nothing but Starbuzz and got huge clouds. Recently been trying a few flavors, but the clouds just aren't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kapten Kanel Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Funny, was just about to make a thread about this topic. it doesnt matter what i do, i cant get starbuzz (or fantasia) to smoke good at all, very little smoke, little flavour etc...Starbuzz, fantasia and AF (which i have no issues with at all) are very similar shishas, unwashed etc...I ordered 3 100g starbuzz tins, blue mist, lemon tea and sex on the beach, all smelled heavenly but they smoke like crap, doesnt matter if i use my small phunnel or egyptian, i have tried everything, its IMPOSSIBLE to get a good smoke out of the (expensive) crap, damn, getting tangiers to smoke nice is a fuc*ing walk in candy-land in comparison I have smoked hookah several years, lurked this forum countless hours etc so it just cannot be a newbie mistake I noticed that all the starbuzz was rather dry which is kinda weird, i thought starbuzz was supposed to be like taking a friggin bath The fantasia (200g pink lemonade, smells delicous) is really wet but that doesnt matter, i swear i could get better smoke from smoking my cats fur or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shisha fan Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 that sucks, i just got a whole lot of starbuzz for my younger brother. i`ll ask him how it smokes in comparison to earlier batches.i did notice that tangerine dream and white peach were very wet, haven`t checked the other cans though.to be honest, i don`t think starbuzz is worth the money. but the really likes it, so i thought i`d get him a veriety of different flavours.

xpimpitox Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 So Igot ripped off for some Exoticas Golden coals since I ran out last nite and was in a bind and noticed they had the new SB flavors in. My curiosity got the best of me so I bought a small can of code 69. I said I'd never get SB again. Well we'll see how it smokes tonite... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coals, foil pattern , packing method etc... Dont think it matters though because ive already tried everything lol...My starbuzz is more like nakhla than AF/fantasia, just not quite as sticky, no juice/glycerin mess whatsoever 3 coco naras + wind cover on a small phunnel should produce some clouds (and it does with other brands) but no, i get some minimal whispy crap, its just weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FactorE Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 i use km, vortex, 3 cocos in a triangle pattern, with nammor hose and i get huge clouds with sb all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norcalsmoker Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I never smoke SB with a phunnel, for some reason I can't get good smoke. When smoking SB I use a regular egyptian bowl. I sprinkle the tobacco in to just under the rim. As for the foil I put tons of tiny holes. I only use one coco coal with a windcover and I get massive clouds! I think you have a bad batch. I have never had SB that was dry, It's always dripping with juices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I smoke about 90% SB and never had an issue...if I had a video camera I'd do a vid. But my setup is as follows:QT baseBambino StemIf I don't feel like smoking for 3-4 hours I'll use my smaller Egyptian [not the Mya bowl, but a bowl that came with my stargate] or if I do want to smoke for 4-5 hours, I will use a Med phunnel.1 Layer of Reynolds Wrap FoilHoles poked about 1/4 an inch apart in 2 concentric rings with 1 larger hole directly over the center of the phunnel or push the hole stick up through the bottom of the egyptian to poke out of the foil to insure air flow.To start of my Egyptian I use 1 3K QL coal for my Phunnel I use 2 3K QL coals to start then down to 1 coal the rest of the time.

Sonthert Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 They just turned up the garden hose...more water...weighing it down. Is the flavor lasting longer? If it is its likely they bumped up the amount of water in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToncSTAR Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 why does everyone hate starbuzz so much? because its not a middle eastern brand? i smoke starbuzz all the time, i get good smoke, flavor could last a little longer..but, oh well. i can afford to smoke the stuff, so why does it matter? ill smoke what i like and not to sound mean or anything, but your opinion has nothing to do with my wallet.

I love some Sb flavors. wish they did last a bit longer though. my wallet just screams at me whenever I buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't changed anything about our set up or the way we pack it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 People do get spoiled by Tangiers...but I will ask around see if anyone else has the down-low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srawas89 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 From my SB experience pack it loose and poke small holes in vast numbers in an Egyptian bowl. Also I only use 1 to maybe 1.5 3kings. Oh and I have nothing against starbuzz except that for $20 I would expect better quality. I would buy it tho if I could get it for like $12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shisha fan Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 white peach, tangerine dream, pumpkin pie and safari melon dew are still the same, good clouds and flavour and as moist as before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
