insidius Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 So I really like Lemon Mint from Star Buzz. The problem is that I don't like the Starbuzz price. Does anyone know of a good flavor by an alternate brand that is similar to Lemon Mint by SB, and is good, yet affordable? How about a similar flavor to Fantasia's Pink Lemonade? Thanks guys!

bobbo21 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I've never tried SB lemon mint, but Tangiers Mimon is exactly that. It always gets great reviews too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasHookah Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 A little bit cheaper that Starbuzz is the Tonic line which has Mojito Lemon Mint which is really good..one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Would somebody please explain to me the appeal of this flavor? Does nobody else think it tastes like chemicals and wax? Seriously, the closest I've ever come to throwing up while smoking has been with Fantasia. I've never been able to smoke any Fantasia flavor longer than ten minutes and I end up having to quickly load something else to get that waxy flavor out of my mouth. Gag... </rant> I love making "lemonade" mixes. Here are some of my faves: Cherry Lemonade (60% NK Mizo Lemon / 40% TN Maraschino Cherry) Strawberry Lemonade (50% NK Mizo Lemon / 50% NK Strawberry) "Slice" (50% NK Mizo Lemon / 50% NK Margarita) See if any one of those satisfy your Pink Lemonade craving - their cheaper and much better, IMO.

When you get used to the taste, Fantasia and SB can taste very chemical... and some don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I get sick when I smoke SB, Fantasia, Fusion, SS, etc. I'd be interested to know what you think of the Cherry Lemonade blend I posted. I wonder if you'd find it too bitter. Meh, different strokes. I know tons of people love that flavor. And I tried to too, but couldn't get past the nausea.

I've only been smoking for 2 or 3 years and I'm just now starting to dabble outside of the SB-esque 'mainstream' flavors. Just tried some Tangiers Cocoa for example. While I still can't pack a good bowl of Tangiers just yet (hopefully having a phunnel bowl will help), I am still learning. Thanks for the recommendations. Next time I have a shisha budget, I will likely try your Strawberry Lemonade blend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can smoke Fantasia for about five minutes without getting sick, but with SS, I feel like hurling after the first pull. Here's how I'd classify some of the big brands: [b][u]Natural Taste [/u][/b]Tangiers Al Fakher Nakhla [b][u]Candy Taste [/u][/b]Starbuzz Fusion Romman [b][u]Toxic Waste [/u][/b]Social Smoke Fantasia But that's just me. I'm not implying any of these are necessarily bad products, only that some taste like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
