DownZero Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Nah, it does not matter. I mix brands all the time. It's rare that I have two flavors of the same brand that I would like to mix. If you like the taste, then go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuschultz Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Actually, I'd say it is encouraged. Flavors differ from company to company. For instance, peach is a flavor that is often reviewed, because it is vastly different from company to company.Find what you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownZero Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 A little mixing experiment never hurt anybody. heh. But try the flavors by themselves also - you might like them going solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymptom Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I'm gonna get every brand of peach shisha and mix them together in a big tub. I'll be on top of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiracerj1 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 i mix brands all the time, my favorite two to mix are fumari and tangiers, double passion fruit is delicious by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGuy Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 any comments on heat management with mixed brands. heat management varies greatly between brands. tangiers in particular, renowned for noob unfriendly in terms of heat management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymptom Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Yeah, things can sometimes get a little ugly if you try to mix Tangiers with other brands. Usually you'll end up burning the Tangiers trying to get the other brands cooking well. I have done it successfully though, particularly with Tangiers mint. It's probably a good idea to layer the Tangiers on the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpimpitox Posted August 2, 2006 Author Share Posted August 2, 2006 any mixing tips? when i used 2 mix nakhla strawberry/banana i put a layer of one then a layer of another till the bowl was full...is this a good method what has worked for you guys?

DownZero Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 When I mix, I part the bowl.. so the left side of the bowl will be one flavor and the other side a different flavor - This way you are getting the flavors of both worlds... When I'm not too lazy, I will literally mix the 2 flavors in the bowl... stirring the shisha with my fingers.But I find that parting the bowl in halves brings out the different flavors better. Also keep in mind which flavors are strong and which flavors are not as strong. (Strong meaning taste wise NOT buzz wise) Put more of the weaker tasting flavor than the stronger tasting to kind of even the 2 flavors out... I find this to work very well for me.

frontmanpb101 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 when i mixed my nakhla strawberry/banana a night or two ago i layed down one layer of one flavor then a layer of the other. it tasted like a perfect mix of the two, with each contributing to about half of the flavor. next time i think that i will try putting flavors on opposite sides... it seems like you could control which flavor was stronger by moving the coal to the side of which ever flavor was more desired.

Macho555 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I mix rommon mint and layalina mint, it makes a nice sweet mint. Only I can pretty much stand it though, because most people can't handle the plain mint action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnzy02 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 my favorite mix is still cherry cola. i've heard a few other people mention they've done it. but layalina cola and al amir cherry is absolutely fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuschultz Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Have you tried Fumari cola? I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnzy02 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 i dont believe so, i dont remember the first brand of cola i bought. i bought that a long time ago and had smoked it. and i just recently finished up the layalina. Cola is one of my favorite flavors so i'm always interested to try a new one. i'll look into the fumari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Some brands mix well, othrs do not. If you mix them by base (molasses, corn syrup, honey) and don;t cross them, results will be far better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
