cptbjorn Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 So I just got 4 packs of tangiers today and the one I was most stoked to try was the kashmir peach. It smelled great right from the start so I just put it in one of my glass jars, taped on the label etc at around noon today. Just now I took the top off the jar to let it sit for a half hour or so before I smoke a session and then filled my base with water. I set the base and the jar of kashmir peach down on my bed, then I noticed my phunnel was about to roll down the crack between my mattress and the wall so i put my knee on the bed and semi dove for it AND I KNOCKED MY BASE FULL OF WATER INTO MY JAR OF TANGIERS AND THEY BOTH COMBINED AND SPILLED ALL OVER MY DAMN BED. There was brown water and chunks everywhere and I was able to save most of it but now everything smells like nag champa on steroids, my sheets/mattress/blankets are soaked and I'm way too worked up to enjoy any flavor of shisha I basically ended up with a jar full of shisha that was also half full of water so I poured the water onto foil, poured the shisha on separate foil and now I have come to hookah forum so you can all laugh at my misfortune. Here's the damage:What would you do? I'm not a heavy smoker but when I do smoke I like it to be the best possible, even if I get this dried out and acclimated all over again is it still going to be shitty? The water that I used in the base was from my RO/DI purifier that I have for my fish tanks so it was basically pure water that won't leave anything behind when it evaporates... DAMMIT I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO TRY IT FIRST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog_916 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I think you're done. Reorder! I wouldnt risk it. I got water up into the stem and bowl once and it made me cough like I was dying after I took the next hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzbizz Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I'd say mix everything back together and leave it out like its acclimating for a while to let the water evaporate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cptbjorn Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Nah I got all the sheets and everything off and in the washer right away and threw towels on top and then jumped on the bed to get as much absorbed as possible. It doesn't look like I shit the bed I don' think. But if anyone asks I'll just tell them that what I like to do in the privacy of my own home is none of their damn business It still smells fine and looks normal, which is interesting because the New Raspberry I got smells like hardcore bbq sauce right now.

Zinite Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Pour 1/4 of that back in, mix it up REEEAL good, and let it sit out for 3 or 4 hours. It won't be as strong, but it should be smokeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redjako Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Sonthert'll come in...but I'd just leave the stuff acclimating for a few days, see if it smells good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Mix it all back together, choose one strategy:A. throw it in the oven with the lid off at the lowest heat for an hour, let it sit for a couple of days open and see if it recovers.B. Throw it in the freezer for a week (open). It must be a frost-free freezer, prepare to have your freezer stuff smell like Kashmir. Overall, I think something's going to be lost...mostly peach flavor and nicotine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikemyusername Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 thats shitty, real shitty. sorry to hear about it, but if its RO/DI you should be golden once it evaporates. BTW I love the taste of pure water, I use it for my fish tank too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amn_sinclair Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 damn that really sucks but all i can really say is u kinda had it coming setting something so precious on the bed. Imo thats just asking for trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehelios Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 My heart is always broken when this kind of stuff happens. I can't imagine what I'd do if I did that myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptbjorn Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Wow thanks for all the responses. I ended up recombining like half of the juice with the shisha last night and set it next to a fan so it could get some airflow. This morning it resembled really juicy shisha instead of shisha in a puddle so I stirred in the rest, put it back in the jar and have it in the toaster oven in my shop on warm for an hour as Sonthert recommended.Also I ended up smoking some late last night before I added any of the juice back (so I'll know if my attempts to save it are doing anything) and while it took more time and heat to get going (presumably to drive off the excess water) I ended up getting decent clouds and flavor. Not 100% by any means but not bad either. I'll have to order another pack of it with my next order though to find out of its the *right* flavor though. Thanks again!

JDHarding Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I would have recommended sitting the shisha on a pile of paper towels for a while.. but it seems like you got things under control now. Maybe have Eric send you some of the peach flavor stuff to re-peach it? I dunno. Hafta sign a no disclosure agreement so you can't give away his secrets.

Sonthert Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 How much peach flavor? A better question is how much could he add to replace the peach flavor thats gone? Nobody could accurately tell how much peach flavor would need to be added to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptbjorn Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 If it ends up missing the peach flavor I might try mixing with nectarine for a bowl or two since I have like 200g or so that is just kinda gathering dust. It wasn't my thing but might complement the kashmir nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
