seefoodlover Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 It's been a while since I have had any Fusion, are they still making good quality shisha? It's really expensive, and I never hear of anybody smoking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryno Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I had some a month ago. Just as good as I remember it a year ago. I don't think alot of people smoke it because the price went up. Clouds are still huge for me too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZ22 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I had Cactus Pear a few weeks ago. Clouds were bigger than Romman and Nakhla double apple, they were quite thunderous. However, I fiddled around with my setup relentlessly and I could never get that good of flavor. People here say that it gives great flavor, but I followed everyones advice and I just couldn't get it... Maybe the changed the recipe around or I had a bad batch. Regardless, it's a smooth smoke with category 5 clouds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I love Fusion. It's definately replaced a lot of my SB staples. If you like strong fruit flavors I reccomend starting off with Fusion Mandarin to see if you like the brand because the flavor is absolutely amazing.

mattarios2 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Fusion is good, it is the only washed, super fruity, modern style shisha that i like. I liked it way more when it was unwashed, and cheaper. I don't smoke it much anymore because sweet flavors for me get old really fast. But if you are going to smoke any of those brands, fusion is the most consistent, and best priced for what you get. AF is cheaper but not as consistent and with their new cut AF loses points. If you want a modern style shisha no question, hands down, go with fusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seefoodlover Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 I thought Cactus pear was REALLY sweet. didn't really like it... But the last fusion i had was Citrus mint (really nice) and orange. I thought they were nice. But what I'm hearing is if you like really sweet. which i don't really care for lol. Will probably pick some up anyways. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heron25 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 love fusion. Apple Pie is one of my favorite flavors and has a great blend of sweet apple and spicy cinnamon with some brown sugar in there also. Great clouds, nice flavor that isn't too over the top and lasts a good 45-60 minutes with a large QL AF charcoal. Tried a few of their other flavors also, but Apple Pie is my favorite, with blueberry second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Well I think fusion can be kinda tricky because of the honey in it. The flavors i like most by them, the first time i tried those flavors I thought this stuff sucks. But after a couple repacks i got the flavor going nicely.

joytron Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 how would you pack it differently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remy Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 ahh sorry for gettin everyone's hopes up. Theres a smoke shop out here that sells fusion for that price, forgot about online prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Honey-based flavors need to be packed right, honey likes to scorch. If you can imagine it this way, I would say honey-base tobaccos lie between molasses (high) and Corn Syrup (low)...on a scale of 1-10, 1 being corn syrup, 10 being molasses, I would pack honey based stuff about a 6. There are other factors, of course, but as a crude guideline. Fusion hasn't sold that well and it would bear looking at expiration dates, to make sure the stuff is relatively fresh. Most of the stuff floating around out there is from older stocks. Hookah Company probably sells the most, so their stock might be the freshest. Just guessing out loud here.

[/quote] Add more than you think. As I alluded to and as sonth mentioned, honey likes to scorch. I add quite a bit more tobacco to the bowl than you would for say AF, SB. And yes i have had batches that tasted like nothing then the same flavor again that was awesome. I agree with what Sonth said that Fusion is going through what Nakhla went through for quite some time with old old stock floating around that gives their stuff a bad rep.
