Yay, I Got My Good Hookah In Working Condition Again!

[Jondd88]

I mentioned in my first post when I signed up and introduced myself that the base on my Mya Econo Gelato broke.
I ordered a new one and it arrived today with my wind screen I ordered as well.
I am excited to get to use it tonight instead of my shitty 10.5" pumpkin that my friend donated to me.
Hopefully I can get this base to last me longer than a week
Has anyone else tried this Hookah?

On my way home from class I picked up some Fantasia Margarita and Nakhla Two Apples.
I haven't tried any Nakhla yet but the reviews on here seemed pretty good and it seems pretty popular so I thought I would give it a try.
I bought some Nakhla Tropicana recently but I haven't tried it yet as it smells funny and I found out it is a good idea to acclimate it which I have been hesitant to do;
I don't want that smell to permeate my room and make it smell funky...
Does anyone acclimate or suggest acclimating Nakhla Two Apples?

I smoke 2 apples sometimes, it can become a really boring flavor but try to smoke it for its complexities, it won't let you down I promise. I usually don't acclimate my nakhla unless it doesn't smell right, in your case it will be hard to tell if it needs acclimating if you've never had it. I say pack it in the bowl a half hour to an hour before you smoke or put foil on it and you'll be all set.
Oh and tropicana is a funky flavor that DOES need acclimating, it should smell similar to grapefruit.

i was told the main flavors that need aclimating are cinnamon and cardamom

Letting it acclimate in the bowl is an interesting idea.
It is only 50g so I think I might try it first without acclimation and if I don't like it or just get curious then I can acclimate it and see how that affects it.
Tbh, I don't think I have ever even tried a grapefruit...
How badly does the smell linger in a room after acclimating it?

The smell doesn't linger much at all of the Tropicana. I liked the flav at first but soon grew tired of it. It's really like a grapefruit- you find yourself asking "Where's some sugar?!"
