nuschultz Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 add a touch of honey if it is dry. it should help resstore the flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aronparsons Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Just stir it up. I doubt the AF got dry as the ones I've had were dripping! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuschultz Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 probably true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Could also be the weather...any recent changes? are you acclimating it properly? aw to heck with it..stir it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kram Posted July 15, 2006 Author Share Posted July 15, 2006 its wet guys, there just isn't any taste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Hmm...hookah not leaking air perhaps? getting air in to dillute the smoke? and you say you're leaving it open to acclimate it? Got me man... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Did you get new charcaol? is perhaps the taste of your coals covering the taste of your tobacco? and finally, do you have a friend with a hookah you could take it over to and try on his/hers?

Lakemonster Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Is the shisha losing its flavor or are you losing your sense of taste? Smoking will deaden your sense of taste.. so it could be you.... I know thats my problem most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpico Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Yeah - I agree LakeMonster - I didn't smoke for over a month and then had Naklah Apricot - and wow... not only was the taste overwhelmingly apparent, but the buzz - knocked me right off my feet.For a while when I was smoking a lot (3x a week?) I started to not be able to taste the flavor. But Kram, your other option - if it's not the tobacco or the coals themselves - could be the hose. Is yours washable? If not, then you should look into a Mya washable (www.myasaray.com) and if so - maybe both your hookah and your hose need a good cleaning. A lot of my past flavor issues have had a lot to do with the hose. Now that I've gone with a washable I don't have to worry about that.Hope that helped.-H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kram Posted July 16, 2006 Author Share Posted July 16, 2006 thanks for all the insights, i will run through the check list u guys have supplied! sometimes smoking a hookah is too technical for me. oh is havana double apple any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding_Heart1 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I dont know about Havana double apple, but their special apple is damn tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great glavin Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Yup, weirdest sh*t ever. Same thing happened to me, with almost every flavor of fahker ive tried, and of evry brand ive tried (and ive tried every brand out there but 3 available in the US at retailers.) ive never had it remotely happen with anything else. Out of the box WHAM!. a few months later (2) and it was gone, kinda got slightly gross too. Must be some perishable secret ingredient in double apple fahker.

MrGuy Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 it's a spin-off of the 12 month chip theory - the 2 month fakher theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naqsh Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 my advice is: wrap your AF in a foil (e.g. barrier foil for flavoured food products), put the foil-wrapped AF in a plastic bag (e.g. LDPE bag), put it in your box and right into the fridge...that'll help!

Sonthert Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Flavor!Stir it up and leave it open to the air for awhile...flavor tends to be slightly lighter in the summer, depending on humidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceinIsrael Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 ok to clear some things up here...........1. DON'T store shisha in the fridge, it kills their flavors. Instead just keep them in sealed ziplock bags2. at the moment I am battling the dreaded too much smoking kills taste buds, so yes its true.3. A way to really taste the flavor of the shisha is drink water while you smoke, you dont need to havethe water in your mouth at the same time but jus periodically drink water during your smoking session it works wonders for the flavor.By the way..............has anyone else tried triple apple?

I didnt acclimate it or anything of that sort, just smoked out of the jar. It smelled very promising tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
