jr1788 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 So I'm new here and I ordered some tobacco online from Social smoke. Long story short, I bought 3 flavors, Strawberry, Strawberry-Kiwi, and Raspberry. I smoked some of the Kiwi-Strawberry last night and then I cleaned everything out right, looked good, and packed some Raspberry in and i started it up. It wasn't tht great and about 15 minutes in i got the strong taste and smell of nyquil. Having just gotten home from a sushi bar, i couldnt hack it and threw up, I hated the flavor, I know it wasn't the taste in my mouth because I had washed my mouth out with lemon right before and i cleaned out the hookah the way i normally do. I have a medium sized MYA, and i was using my screen and 2 3 kings coals. I think the flavor was way too intense for me seeing as I am not tht big a fan of real raspberries. I read people saying it reminded them of blue slurpee, and I could see where the flavor lies but the cough medicine flavor was WAY too overwhelming for me. So if anyone wants to trade for a different Starbuzz flavor that is different, or the flat out want to buy it then go for it. I'll charge $17.00 plus shipping seeing as i only took about 10-15 grams out and dont plan on smoking this vile flavor ever again. Other than that, the Strawberry-Kiwi was excellent. I'm gonna try the Strawberry tonight. If anyone is interested PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr1788 Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 after thinking about it some, i decided to try another bowl of this, however...... I need some advice, how do i mellow the flavor, or what? Is the flavor gonna stay like this the whole time? I am still willing to trade or sell, or hell if I have no takers, I'll just give it away to whoever likes it, but preferably i would like to trade it, i know people like this flavor, I just personally don't like it. So, if you guys are interested just say so. I live near San Fran by the way so if you guys are wondering about shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioannisds Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 First thing, less heat. Try one 3 Kings, and then bump it up to 1.5 if you need to. I use one (40mm) 3 Kings. It takes a bit longer to get the bowl going, but once it is going, it is a great smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahDuck Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Im sorry you arent happy with it. However, I dont think you are going to be able to sell it for $17.00, its around 18-20 brand new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO I am open to prices, i just dont want to get jipped and end up losing most of my cash. So as long as the price is reasonable, i'll send it, just cover shipping for it. plus like 10-15 bucks for it.I might pay shipping, but i'm sorta strapped for cash, i'm only an 18 year old student so.......money isnt too available for me right now. but i would rather make a trade, even if for like say...100 grams of a good flavor i would send about 200-215 grams of Starbuzz raspberry. I sorta wanna try something like a mint or watermelon, something pretty basic not too hard to make a good flavor of. but i dont wanna seem too picky. So the offer stands. Trade or...10-15 plus shipping. I tried to smoke a small bowl with only 1 coal and move to 1.5, but i still couldnt hack the flavor, it was WAY too intense for me, not saying tht its a bad thing, just for me it is i guess. So if anyone wants it hit me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 If Starbuzz is too intense, stay away from Tangiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gib0r Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 yeah, drop back on the heat. torching the starbuzz is bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr1788 Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 i took the suggestions and i let it sit out for like an hour before i smoked it and i will say tht it is MUCH better than it was at first. Can't say it's my fav. but it is alot better than i was when i first tried it. I still like the Kiwi-Strawberry alot better but it is a good flavor now after taking your guys suggestions. It doesnt have tht sick cough medicine smell anymore or its not as dominant anymore so its good. Thanks for the suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Yeah, I've noticed some of my flavors will change when the weather does, indicating they are in humidity shock...strawberry always smells bitter and stemmy when its in humidity shock, I'm sure there are Starbuzz flavors that are the same way.
