After Smoking Nothing But Nak Mizo, And Tangiers On Occasion...

[thatonethere]

I now know the difference between good shisha and subpar shisha. For me, the flavour has to last throughout the session, and good cloud output is a must. The other brands started out with flavour but quickly died. I became upset, and dissapointed mainly because I have all of these other flavours that I can't stand to smoke anymore, let alone look at them when I open up my shisha chest. I've wanted to throw them out, but I'm torn because I bought them when I was real green to hookah. I'm only 7 months into hookah, but I'm on the fast track to becoming a hookah pro, thanks to you guys.[img]http://www.hookahforum.com/public/style_emoticons/default/girl_blum2.gif[/img]

One of these days, I'll get rid of my sub par shisha, but until then, I'll only smoke the good stuff.

I just want to say thanks guys, for not only helping me empty my bank account,(lol) but exposing me to what a proper hookah session is supposed to be.

It almost makes me not want to try new shishas, for fear I might get stuck with a brand that sucks.

Keep smoking guys![img]http://www.hookahforum.com/public/style_emoticons/default/Hookah.gif[/img]

Don't say that! You gotta try all of them to judge em!

There are some that will be straight up garbage, and some that you will smoke for as long as you are smoking hookah!

Good stuff on starting out right. You can't really go wrong with Nakhla [which will stick around for as long as hookahs are made] and Tangiers!

Smoke on!

Yea I agree with Codename, don't stop experimenting with new tobaccos because you found some that you love. I always try new shisha and even if I don't like a certain flavor I still keep it because you never know when you run out of your good stuff and just want to smoke. Also keeping a wide variety can give you some pretty interesting mixes.

i was in your shoes once....after trying A LOT of brands, i finally limited myself to Tangiers and Nakhla...and to be honest, i could smoke those two brands only and be satisfied..

lately, i've been in an adventurous mood and started trying new brands and old brands i used to smoke...in all honesty, none of them can really compare to Tangiers or Nakhla....BUT, i am beginning to appreciate the variety...no so much in flavors, but texture and smoking experience in general....

while, no other brands will become a permanent staple in my stash...it's nice to change it up every now and then...

Just be sure to read reviews first to be safe.

I'm still searching for new brands, btw, I just purchased a few 50g boxes of AF. So far, I like one of them. Plus I'm currently waiting on a order of Social Smoke shisha. I hope that turns out well. If the reviews lean towards my favor, we'll see what else these brands have in store for me.


I've been basing all of my purchases based on reviews as of lately. While some reviewers rave about certain flavours by different companies, I try them and find that some aren't for me, and vice versa. So as far as listening to reviews goes, I've been taking a few losses, and a few gains. I understand part of the hookah experience is finding the flavour and deciding if you love it or hate it. But maaan


I'm so broke....so broke. lol!

[Yeags777]

keep smoking new flavors!! I've been there before. You smoke and you smoke the same tobacco, over and over, and you get sick of it. Switch it up.... take a couple days off. Which mizo are you smoking?? Mizo Peach is le'bomb

[thatonethere]

My all time favorite Mizo flavor is Lemon. I just finished a Lemon+orange+mint mix. Sometimes, I smoke guava melon. Watermelon+mint, or peach+mint is amazing as well.

All of these flavors are a great solo smoke as well.

I still have to try
Gum
Apricot
Apple
Cherry

[rahl071]

The gum isn't that great. I only smoked it in passing, not enough to write a full review, but I was not impressed.

But, lake already stated, one review does no justice to trying it yourself. I'm not a big fan of gum in the first place. It has petroleum in it :/

Petroleum...wtf?????[img]http://www.hookahforum.com/public/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif[/img]

Its all about your own perspective on things man. if your trying something new buy a smaller container of it to play on the economically safe side. Tons of people rave about DA, but in alot of the brands people recomend i found the taste to be shite, or with af grape which got knocked for being like ketchup, i found to be a nice change of pace. just how i see it.
