Getting The Most Out Of Starbuzz?

[qazxcv]

Hey guys

I just got some starbuzz blue mist and pink (delicious btw) and have a few questions..

The very first time I smoked blue mist, it was just perfect. A LOOOT of flavor and that cooling sensation.
But now it seems the taste isnt very strong, barely noticeable. I can't get it to perfection like my first session.
I have a new hose I just used with blue mist for 2 sessions btw. And it's not because the hose is taking away some flavors because my other hoses smoke the same..

Just wondering, do you guys have any tips for SB? Pack dense or fluffy? Acclimation? Is it because its tight in the bag it came in and I didnt stir it up?
Any tricks feel free to post!

Thanks Edited January 14, 2010 by qazxcv

stirring it up would help some, but what kind of bowl are you using?

Try changing up the way you manage your heat on the bowl.

You can also try stirring up the tobacco to get everything mixed with the juices.

You did put alot of effort into it. you should link it in your sig. would help the nobies out. i should make an epic tangiers thread like yours and link that shit. maybe that would stop the questions.

Starbuzz isn't known for stratum effect in flavors, but with a mentholish component, I would imagine there would be some ethanol based flavors in there, which would lead me to believe that the flavor is separating into layers. It happens alot. Al Fakher Eskanderani Apple shows earmark symptoms of stratum as well. Several Tangiers flavors do it. The cure? Make sure you stir the tobacco well each time before you pack a bowl. If the flavor isn't separating into strata, mixing it real well isn't going to hurt a thing. It might be acclimation too. If it persists, check again with the next tub you buy of it.

Thanks for the input

I think I know why I get that taste now that I think of it. When I pack my bowl, I'm always picking little pieces of ''rolled'' tobacco leafs and ''unroll'' them before placing them in the bowl,.. that might be making it burn faster than if I leave the leafs all sticking together.. I don't know, ill try tomorrow and post back..
