3 Shisha Brands You Hate/dislike The Most


Recommended Posts

(Feel free to delete this if it gets out of control or there are already threads like this)

1. Hookah Hookah/Hookah Freak - doesn't last for shit and tastes like shit... Their mango is probably the worst thing I've ever smoked, tasted nothing at all like a damn mango...

2. Fantasia - the last time I smoked it, for the first time I had smoked it in months, it raped of chemicals and was unbearable, could give Fantasia another try but for the price it's not worth wasting the money.

3. Starbuzz - Overpriced, their flavors are way overpowering for me, the last time I smoked it it nearly made me want to throw up because the flavor was just way too artificial and sweet, and I absolutely can't stand in your face flavors

i'm not going to include herbal...since, well...blech...

1. Hookah Hookah: its just bad...
2. Fantasia: chemical aftertaste, chemical beforetaste, chemical duringtaste...plain ol' artificial
3. Layalina: can i get some tobacco with my juice?

runner-up -> Starbuzz: while not bad, they charge waaaay too much for something equivalent to Al Fakher...

SB beats out Layalina, since there's actually tobacco in it... Edited by Arcane

1. Fantasia: I don't know how they infuse their baccy with the taste of wax but somehow they do. DISGUSTING!
2. Al Amir: I've only tried one flavor (pina colada) and it was terrible. Box said "Pina Colada" on one side, "Baharainin Apple" on the other and tasted like Lemon. WTF?
3. Hookah Hookah: I think this is just all the old crap they scrape off the factory floor at another lesser shisa company

Even though I don't smoke it, I'm not going to rag on Layalina. It seems to actually be one of the better, low to mid grade shishas.

Price is not a factor, taste, ease of use and smokeablity is.

1. Hookah-Hookah (All types)
2. Layalina (after everyone said it was great, it was soaking wet, and barely filled by bowl)
3. Al Amir - for being such a cheap brand (3.99 250kg) it smoked ok, i just wouldn't go out and buy anymore.

Saet Safa - Tasted completely awful

King - Everything I have tried so far from them makes me want to quit smoking

High-Life Smoke - Think they only make Herbal now.... By far the worst smoke I have ever had. 90 seconds is as long as most people can smoke this crap.

Soex- just tasted gross when I tried it, I dunno if it was the way I set it up or not but it was the only tobacco I've ever thrown out

Nahkla- the buzz was too much, made me feel sick to my stomach and left me with a huuuuge headache

Havana Plum - if it burns in the least I end up throwing up

1. Soex
2. Jewel
3. Epic Smoke


Soex is absolutely horrible, as is Jewel. I can get Jewel for 2 bucks a box, which is insanely cheap for this area, but its still not worth it. The only good thing about Jewel is they give you free mouth tips.

Epic smoke tastes ok....for 5 min...then its dead. Plus, not sure why, but they like adding water to it?? A pool of water sits in the bottom of their containers.

I don't understand why everyone rags on Layalina, that is my go to. Not saying it is the best shisha, just saying for the price, it ain't bad, they just make a lot of shitty flavors and add too much dye.

Hydro/Soex/any herbal - It tastes like wood chips, all of it

Nakhla - I smoke hookah because it's supposed to have flavor, not taste like tobacco

Al [basically anything except Fakher] - Usually cheaply made brands that have little to no flavor

1) Potion because it was soaking wet and very difficult to smoke using standard bowl due to clogging the stem
2) Al Waha: I been getting those 50g boxes as free samples when I placed orders at Hookah-Shisha. Every flavor lacked taste, smell and smoke thickness.
3) SOME Fantasia flavors (IE: strawberry daiquiri, Pumpkin Spice, Strawberry Lemonade) smoke like sh!t. Generally speaking, Fantasia lacks smoke thickness and their cuts are way too wet to the point it drips down to the base. The taste is all there (Purple Haze is a must try). If AF and Fantasia swapped price tags, I'll still buy AF.

i finally found an herbal shisha that actually tastes good, i cant remember the name but a local lounge carries it and they have an amazing spiced chai flavor and blueberry that both taste exactly like their name and they last forever.

anyway

starbuzz- overpriced crap with flavors that could make any sweet tooth sick
nakhla- i just cant handle that much nicotine, im sorry but ill take my al waha over nakhla any day.
soex- its just crap. plain and simple.



i don't know what you're talking about FSU, and hookah- ive never had anything but delicious and plentiful smoke when smoking alwaha the flavors of almost all (there are a few) are robust and on target maybe i'm just a lucky one?

We got different taste buds cause I think SB is actually good shisha. Given that I taken price out of the factor of my rating, I still purchase some SB here and there. Last time I smoked Al Waha was 2-3 years ago...unless they changed things up and gotten much better maybe?

wtf? really? since when is hookah NOT supposed to taste like tobacco?

well lets not forget these are opinions not facts..some people dont want the tobacco taste and want flavor out of there sessions..cant fault them for that..while some people want more tobacco to please them..and we cant fault them for that eiter..especially if your with females and they dont like the strong stuff and they are into the candy tasting flavors thats when nak wouldnt be your first choice and sb would be the winner for that night..so its different stokes for different folks for different situations

i agree that different people prefer different things, but when you say hookah is not supposed to taste like tobacco...

i'm pretty sure all of the early hookah smokers weren't smoking Tequila Sunrise or Tangerine Dream...and i'm pretty sure there was a DISTINCT tobacco flavor in what they were smoking...

They also smoked out of coconuts Arcane, things evolved and have changed I wouldn't smoke hookah at all if it wern't for the flavor. The taste of tobacco is not appealing to me or many other people. Also, stop making statements about only girls wanting candy flavors, it's ignorant statements like that which get people pissy about what is supposed to be a fun thread. State your opinions sure, but seriously lay off -- it's getting old
