nuschultz Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Does anyone know what the Nic content is for starbuzz blackberry? It knocked me over. I felt almost drunk, and now I am sitting here shaking. I am guessing it is much higher than my normal Fumari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineSolitude Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 if you ever try pharaoh's.... wow. i was knocked out for the evening after a couple big bowls of that. we're talking heavy headache for hours. Ive heard starbuzz is strong but not the strongest. people say nakhla is too strong but ive never had that problem with it. but that pharaoh's... good lord.

SanguineSolitude Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 thats exactly how it was for me. not very pleasant is it? the first hit i took blew my head off and rather than stopping like a smart person i went through 2 big bowls of the stuff. it was delicious but man what a kick.

aronparsons Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Hmmm, I have no buzz from Starbuzz. Tangiers gets me a little buzzed, but that's about it. Guess maybe the nicotine has less effect on me, but I don't smoke anything else.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuschultz Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 I got to thinking, I havent really let this shisha acclimate. So I am going to give it another shot after I give it a couple hours of air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I have heard so many different reports about Starbuzz and nicotine content. Its packaged as .5%, but many people don;t seem to notice the nicotine...until more recently. Perhaps they changed formulations or tobacco base?

Bob_760 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 I definately can't get a buzz off my starbuzz guava it is delicious though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inimicus Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Starbuzz gives me no buzz, as pleasant as the flavors are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeshabum Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Whoever wants a nicotine buzz with a good taste would buy Nakhla (Strong Variety) of their "Zaghoul " and chop the pieces even smaller, mix it with your favorite brand of shisha. Smoke and keep a sick-bag handy. I mentioned that 2 weeks ago I tried 50 grams of the stuff, got sick as a dog, and earlier today it found its way to the garbage.

Lukasa Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Nicotine buzz for me is hit or miss. Nakhla is definitely a hearty brand nicotine-wise. Al amir is generally less so, and fumari has less too, however one time fumari tropical punch really got me pretty woozy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioannisds Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I've noticed a lot of posts lately regarding the nicotine content of ma'assell, and all I can wonder is... why? I don't know if I'm the only one, but I never smoke hookah to get a buzz. If I get nailed with one (Tangiers, some Nakhla), that's all fine, but not the reason I am doing this at all. Why try and get a nic fix in this roundabout way, when you can just hit the 7-11 for a pack of Lucky Strikes? I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, but this just seems retarded.

I don't know, but from my experience I've gotten the strongest and most satisfying flavor from the heavier stuff I've tried (Nahkla sweet melon, Nahkla double apple... haven't tried Tangiers yet), even if I get thicker, fluffier smoke from brands like Al-fakher. Like I said, I'm still new so I can't say for sure, but for me for now, higher nicotine content seems connected with a higher all-around smoking satisfaction.
