LZ22 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 So I keep trying brands and I keep getting let down. I have read a lot of reviews in the review section, and I've ordered brands/flavors that people rave about only to be very upset when I get them. I realize this is going to be horribly subjective but I don't have income to just throw around to try every brand.So, I've tried: Romman, Starbuzz, Nakhla, Fusion, Al-WahaI'm not a fan of romman, something about the taste seems artificial almost. Also, I feel completely ripped off because it seems half the weight is just juice and I get nowhere near the shisha amount as say Nakhla.I've had starbuzz at a local lounge, and it probably has the best flavor I've tried so far. Only thing is, it is pretty expensive to be ordering 250g tins, it really adds up.Al-Waha just sucks in my opinion. Flavor doesn't last, nothing really in the buzz department.Fusion I had high hopes. Read amazing reviews in the review section. Smelled amazing, but I hardly can taste it. Its very weak, and again nothing in the buzz department (I do enjoy a little one every now and then to wind down)Nakhla could be the best one I've tried so far. I got double apple. Tastes OK. This is what I consider a nice buzz too.I want to try Tangiers, but I am going to hold off on it for a little bit, so I know everyone will suggest itNow my questions: What is this Mizo line of Nakhla like? Is it the same as og just wetter? Can someone recommend the top flavors of Nakhla? (I think its a very good bang for your buck)What would be a high quality brand thats not quite as pricey as Starbuzz, but has the greatest flavor consistency across brand? (Nothing more irritating than getting one flavor and loving it, then buying another 250g tin and be horrible disgusted)Anything else is welcome. Apologies for the long post! Sorry if this is a frequent question, I've just read so many reviews and everyone says everything is great and I know everything is not great.

Stuie Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I pretty much smoke Tangiers, Romman, Tonic and Nakhla, and I grab random boxes here and there of AF, Fantasia, Potion, and whatever to an order to try. But those four are my GoTo'sGuess I need to make a Packing Romman Video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 No taste with fusion. I think you might be doing something wrong. Can you explain your packing method in detail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 yah something is up with your technique ... fusion should give pretty good flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingsMaster Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 mizo is wetter and has much better flavor imo. mizo mint is incredible but cant be smoke by itself. im still looking to try all of the mizo line but so far im very impressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you explain your packing method in detail?Well I use a vortex bowl, because I plan on purchasing a phunnel a little later. I'm sure you can get flavor without one. I break it up and drop it in the bowl so its not packed down too tight and I leave it just a smidget under the lip or level. double layer of thin foil will 2 circles of small holes. I i place 4 halves of coco's around the edges evenly spaced. I don't get a harsh flavor whatsoever, and I always get MASSIVE clouds (most out of any brand I've used). What am I doing wrong?

nars2k Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I agree, you should buy 50Grams and try the flavors out. Nakhla is definitely one of my top favorite tobacco. Their Mizo line is very good, I have tried Mizo Watermelon ( Very strong taste, will definitely buzz you) Mizo Grape ( similar to AF white grape, great quality and taste. Some people say it tastes like ketchup but I think they have just been dropped on their head as little kids)If you are looking for a Brand that has great taste and consistency than I would definitely recommend Al Amir Premium which you can get for about $9 for a 250 gram. I have smoked a couple of their flavors from the Premium line and they're great. Best Peach I have ever smoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow I feel attached to Nakhla even though I hated it at first. I'll also give Al Amir premium a look and try a few of those out, peach being the first one!

hookah hippie Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I smoke Tangiers mostly but I will smoke anything if the price is right and the value was right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvtaco17 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Nakhla, Al fakher, and AF are my goto's for the most part lately... I used to be really into fantasia but got tired of how sweet their flavors were... but I still smoke it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleTheJustin Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Al Waha has no flavor?! Are you shitting me? All of the shisha brands you named most certainly have their distinct tastes, but, again, you may be packing wrong. I've smoked plent of Al Waha and it is bomb, man. Romman as well. If Rommon dropped their price say, I dunno, 12 dollars, I would consistently buy their flavors. But for the money, Al Waha delivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremyk Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 nak is one of my favorite brands of shisha. its cheap it smokes well and takes alot of heat which makes it hard to mess up. the flavors are really good and always consistant and mizo guava, mint, and watermelon are just the shit. go with any of nak's mizo line and you wont be let down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
