cymptom Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Aghh... I got that call from Social Smoke last night too. No X on the Beach and no Peach So I went with Irish Cream, Marlette and Blackberry I hate when vendors don't keep their sites up to date with their stock. I may have ordered my Starbuzz from elsewhere if I had known they were out of those flavors... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Lantern Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 i hate that flip cap. i bought the same one from them and the bastard broke on me when i was slipping it onto the mouthpiece. just because its rubber doesn't mean its elastic, so be careful with it!

sicklecow Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 Thanks for the advice, BL.Well the session last night had its ups and downs. I started off with some Havana Apricot, which I sprinkled until it was mounded slightly over the bowl. That had pretty great flavor for about 45 minutes to an hour, but then when I added another 33mm Quicklight it burned the shisha something awful. I then packed a new bowl of Al Amir Cherry, which I packed pretty tight so it wouldn't touch the foil like the first bowl. That got decent smoke, but pretty much no flavor. I've read that this Cherry is supposed to have awesome flavor, so I'm certain the problem was on my end. I guess it'll just take some fine-tuning on how tight I pack the bowl and how full I pack it.All in all, I think it went pretty well for my first session. The hookah's beautiful and much bigger than I expected (I don't think I ever stopped and thought about how tall 3 feet really is -- not that I'm complaining).

SanguineSolitude Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 yay for SS, YAY FOR HAVANA APRICOT!!! love the stuff! but after an hour of smoking, most shisha is pretty much done unless using a phunnel. i know some people say it goes for hours and hours, but if you want thick clouds the amount of heat needed generally limits a normal sized bowl to around an hour- hour and a half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
