KeepItSimple Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I'm reading through the reviews and i notice that a lot of people get samples of flavors sent to them. How does this work? Is it because they ordered something from online and it came with their order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1v3th3ad Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 well some of it was that back in the day, when a new company sparked up, they came here looking for guinea pigs...last time this happened was hookahups back in spring of '08, haven't seen it since sometimes vendors give a lil sample of some random shisha or members send each other samples I miss trying new stuff that isnt on the market... ...more so I miss hookahups, I think I liked that stuff more than Tangiers, and Tangiers is all I smoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectrum055 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Well then I suppose whenever I get a 50g pack of something I'm trying for the first time I'll offer up a sample... I'm trying out Fantasia Ace of Spades at the moment ..... it's got a chocolate mint smell...with a nice smooth minty yet tiny hint of chocolate ...a good mix for my taste... if I pick up another 50g or 250g of this stuff I'll send out a bowls worth sample to the first to post on the thread I make the offer on....just to return the awsomeness you guys have given me when I first joined ..

Tyler Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Instead of samples they went for the head of the top 3 hookah forums...no need for samples after that lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepItSimple Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 Damn.... oh well, the good part of that is (im guessing they went to Mush) when he reviews it you know it's going to be spot on so we will be able to know the truth on whether it's worth it or not...and you know stuie is gonna be on that shit for reviews and I always read his reviews if i'm gonna buy something cuz he's never led me the wrong way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antouwan Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 hahahahaha this isn't a forum with crazy graphics and adverts bombarding you like a certain 'forum' once renowned for vendors basically being almost forced to just give shit away or constant 'drawings' or 'competitions' with giveaways at the end. no, this is a spot you have to want to be at. i like it that way. people here are very hospitable and quite generous, yet there is a kind of 'you have to pull on the rope or gtfo' mentality. long story short, 'samples' happen when another member decides to be nice, or you order regularly from a vendor and they decide to toss something in for you.

mushrat Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Actually, I won't be doing a review of the tobacco. I'll just be confirming the process. Now, i may be ordering some for the lounge...that will be the real test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'm guessing you probably can't divulge the information, but seeing how expensive the stuff is retail, im curious what the price is for wholesale/lounge purchasing...

Charley Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 sometimes people say sample when talking about a 50g pack. but also sometimes you can get lucky and get free samples when they are trying new flavors. also sometimes you can get lucky and find free samples if you search google I found free samples for jewls Cleopatra and saalaam this way.(unfortunately only 1 of those is smokable lol.)
