headhunter Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 hey all, So here is whats up, lately i have been having issues with Nak Mizo Raspberry, no clouds and harsh as hell with a lot of coal taste, im using CH quicklights and either two or three of them. As for the bowl a tang small phunnel and the normal Egyptian bowl that comes with KM's. Now i have tried many different packing techniques. Like Tangiers (didnt work no clouds at all) and loosely (still nada) and in between. What could i be doing wrong? I mean now that i think about it idt i have ever gotten this flavor to smoke quite right and other nak flavors (flames) i have no problem with, is this flavor just finicky? or what? Secondly just so you guys know, H-S atm has cane mint noir if anyone is interested, managed to pick up a 250 myself, just thought i would let you all know and such. Thanks in advance, Headhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agunn1231 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 i havent ever tried mizo raspberry, but in my experience ive only ever found 1 or 2 raspberry flavors that smoke well...so since you tried a lot of different methods for it, id say that its probably the tobacco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headhunter Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 i was thinking that since i could get flame to smoke so well, but i just didnt know if raspberry was a more delicate of a flavor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agunn1231 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 it probably is. i believe that its a hard flavor to get right any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezxen Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 more coal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headhunter Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Tried that just caused a more coaly taste and it became harsher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I too never have trouble with Mizo Raspberry. I use two coconut coals on my Tangiers Mini (windcover used later in the session) like I would any other Nakhla flavor. I guess just mess around with it and see if you can get it right. I'm surprised you're having trouble; Nak is pretty hard to mess up. Tapatalk'd via iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
