MechAnt Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Hey guys, I've been visiting every so often but I've had a more extended absence due to school getting tough but I'm back! Everything has changed and its almost an entirely new experience now. I still smoke my MZ, KM, and Nour with AF religiously but I am quite an avid cigar smoker and even more into wine and beer. Home brewing is only around the corner! Any updates I should know about? New Brands? Dead Brands? New Fads? New Pipes? New Drama? It's great to be back. Hopefully I'll get used to this quickly.

rhineholt Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Hey, Never knew you, but I'm Greg. Let's see. Tang is still one of the best out there. AF is going downhill. People still bash SB. Ed Hardy came out with a shisha. Oh, and a few hookahs. Phunnel bowls are still good. Vortex bowls are basically a failed attempt at phunnel bowls. (Don't waste your money) Km's are going up in price. Annnnd yes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 Hahaha, my absence was only a couple months or so. How is AF going downhill? People still complaining about the tomato smell of AF Grape? That's still my staple flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SloppyJoe Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 LOL ^ what he said. Welcome back. Nakhla is also coming out with a lot of new mizo flavors I may enjoy. Tangiers still takes the blue ribbon though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's getting too... chopped? It's too small of a cut. Some have compared it to smoking sawdust soaked in molasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhineholt Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I haven't smoked much of AF. I tried strawberry once and it was horrible imo. I went from SB straight to Tang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rani Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Hey...... I saw the Guess Who's Back title and immediately wondered which jerk had crawled back out from under a rock..... Nice surprise to see it's you......Not too much has changed around here except the cosmetic changes. Oh, and Eric gave up smoking for seven days. Who'da thunk that would ever happen? Some of the nice people are still around of course. And we still have our share of idiots coming (and going) almost as quickly as they get here. Don't know how you're managing to hang in with AF...... Seems like it's jut gotten worse and worse quality wise. I'm so impressed with the newest version of Nakla though so it's all good. Nice to see you back. Stir up some trouble will ya? These guys are getting way too vanilla for the girl. 'Rani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattarios2 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 glad to see you back mech. og nak is much more gooey than it used to be. (most likely thanks to DPG) new nak mizo flavors coming around, including mizo gum, mizo orange, mizo apricot, and mizo lemon. tang released new flavors, bug powder, pomengranite, green tea w honey, and umm a couple others. eric figured out nak is using DPG or something very similiar to it in their shisha to make it last longer and get around the acclimation issue. Eric has looked into it for Tang, said it took more heat to get going, and was ready to smoke just about right away. But haven't heard much development about it since.

ryno Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Holy Crap! ES and MechAnt in one post?! Nakhla Mizo is something worth checking out.

Jacob Shock Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 What is DPG. i must know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 dont know how to spell it but it is something along the lines of dipropyl glycerol. It keeps moisture in. When you open nakhla, it sucks moisture in from the air, therefore making it harder for the nak to dry out. it also helps keep the levels of moisture constant. I guess what eric does is he puts shisha in the freezer, and weighs them before and after freezing them to see how much water content is in them. And brands with high water content lose weight when the procedure is done, but Nakhla gained weight when he tried it, which is what caused him to start looking into the nak a little closer. But back on topic, Mech you the fuckin maaan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
