joanna Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Last night I had a really horrible hookah experience. I had just bought two boxes of AF, strawberry and plum, both of which I've had before and liked. I also bought a new box of CCN coals. I tried the strawberry first, and it seriously tasted like dirt. I figured it was just the shisha, so I switched to the plum, and it had the same taste. Is it possible to get a bad batch of coals? Or is there something wrong with my hookah? This has never happened before. I have a tall egyptian hookah and was using a vortex bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaceman27 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Have you cleaned out your bowl and your hookah recently? and do you have fresh water in the vase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 likely coals. Coals dont exactly have high QC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezxen Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Dirt taste is dust in the hose/ dirty steam IMO, QL coals too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vendetta_revived Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 QLs can't be it, I mean they taste [b]awful[/b], but not exactly dirt like! My knowledge is pretty limited but I suppose it could be that your hose/stem wasn't cleaned ? Also, are you sure you're packing the bowl right ? When I was starting on the whole hookah thing, I packed very less tobacco in my bowls and it just tasted awful because it burnt too quickly! Or could be a bad batch of tobacco ? I don't know if others had experienced it, but once I bought AF plum and it tasted very bad, just super bad, but a buddy of mine once dropped by with his hookah and left some of his shisha at my place, I tried the AF plum from his stock and it was heavenly!! Never again did I not like AF plum. So it could be that couldn't it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
