Could be worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcane Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 i've used them to try and make an intensely strong mint by adding more flavoring to some Tangiers. it didn't turn out too well. the flavor didn't increase much and the smoke output was slightly hindered. also, the flavoring was kind of skewed as well. it was like the flavoring was sitting on top of everything and burning off first prior to vaporizing the glycerin and original flavoring. even letting it sit for a few days, the candy oil did not seem to meld with the existing components. the heat tolerance did sky rocket though. my suspicion is that, at least with Tangiers, the ratio between tobacco, molasses and glycerin is fairly specific. if you alter that ratio, it affects the smoke negatively. i'm suspecting that starting from stratch (or at least with a cured/prepared base tobacco) may produce better results.

ryno Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Never used candy oils, but I've added mint/peppermint extract you can find at a grocery store in the spice section to AF, Layalina, and Tonic and made flavors I didn't care for into a really strong mint.

Hookah809 Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 I used the loraan oils but the flavor didnt mesh with the tobacco. Tried a few different ways but nothing seemed to work. So now im stuck again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKammenzind Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Candy oils are the way to go for homemade shisha really. They're simple, cheap and you need use only a little bit. I remember using something like 1/8 tsp to flavor a small batch (maybe 3-5 bowls worth) of shisha back when I used to make my own, but strength varies a lot by flavor too.

Arcane Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Michael's, Sears, Wal-Mart, Target, random grocery stores and possibly Williams-Sonoma... any place that sells baking tins or cake decorating stuff should have something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noodle Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I've seen stuff like that sold at Michaels and other craft stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murakamikazi Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I've looked at my local Wal-Mart and all they have is the extracts. I've also checked Michael's and yes they do have candy oils, but I don't feel that other than mint they don't have any good flavors for shisha. I haven't been able to locate any like cake supply stores or anything like that in my area. The most I've got is a health food store that sells pure orange oil, but even that didn't do much for the flavor aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKammenzind Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I remember a company I got some from online once, I think it was "get suckered" or something on that order. Most of the flavors worked, some were a bit weak for said use. Sadly the best place I know is a hidden baking supply store in Pittsburgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1v3th3ad Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I use the peppermint oil that they sell at GNC to add to my mixes occasionally(mainly when I have Melon Blend)...I've never had a problem mixing it with Tangiers. I just put a drop on my finger, cop a feel on the packed baccy with said finger, and repeat once more...usually has the perfect balance so the mint isn't too overpowering, then the mint wears off in about a half hour - forty five minutes and you have your original flavor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr3ac0 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 if anybody has any good recipes for homemade shisha i would defiantly be interested,also i have been wondering if when making shisha do you just use tobacco from a name brand shisha and add the candy oils or is there a place where one could purchase the tobacco and add the glycerin and candy oils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
