Yet Another Topic About Stuff In The Base....


Recommended Posts

So I went to costco today to pick up the essantials: Beer, Meat.... and a oversized package of toilet paper. tongue.gif

Anyway, as I am walking down the aisle, I see an endcap of Kern's Nectar juices. You know they are the cans of realllllllly sweet juice? So, I got a variety pack, which includes Peach, Guava, Apricot, and Mango..... Hrmmm... they make shisha in these flavors... and I happen to have some!

So I rush home, and I take out 3 cans of peach Kerns. I put in them in the base, and I put it into my freezer.

Fast forward 45 minutes, I load up a bowl of Pharohs exotic peach. OMG! It takes the peach to a whole NEW level. Its kinda hard to describe, but WOW! Its like, it added some very unique subtle tastyness and really put this peach into a whole new perspective.

I have some AW mango that I am gonna smoke with the mango Kerns. If its as good as the peach, i think I might have to make an emergency order for some Guava and Apricot shisha.

Try this now! wink.gif

Nice find! I have always found that putting juice/soda/whatever in the base that has similar flavors to the shisha you are smoking yields a fanastic smoke session. For instance, I put some Welche's grape juice in the base with my Al Fahker black grape shisha, and I had smoke that was so thick it literally fell into my lap upon exhale. It tasted great, and smoked very well.

I've also even went so far as putting Frappacino in the base when we smoked some Al Waha frappacino shisha....what a night that was tongue.gif

Overall, if you branch out from water, you won't be disappointed.

Small disclaimer however: I'd only reccomend doing this if you have a smaller hookah (I have a Junior from hookah-shisha)...or you will have to use waaay too much juice/soda/whatever....I've found that I only need ~17-18oz of fluid for my base, so it's not too wasteful.

I fear using things other then water. mostly cause i dont know what aspects of the liquid im using will vapo and end up in me. but if that juice worked i might have to try some lemon / lime / mango juice for my Lemon / lime / mango Al Waha mix (mmmm mmm freakin mmm mm good)

i did this the other night, i cut up a lemon and put two slices in the base. I added a couple tablespoons of real lemon juice squeezed, added ice and smoked hh lemonade and it was amazing, and afte ri was done smoking, (for like 30 min, it was also really easy to clean my hookah wink.gif yay!)


everything smelled so nice and pretty wink.gif and tasted absoultely amazing!

Odd man out I guess... I have found that adding flavor to the base doesn't make a big difference at all for me. I once put pineapple juice and coconut rum in the base while smoking pina colada shisha- didn't seem that great/different sad.gif

Perhaps I will try coffee and Irish Cream shisha and see what happens.

Hey thanks for the replies guys.

Lake: My mom is a doctor, so I pretty much have a pharmacy at home.

Mark: The first time I put Kerns into my base was with the peach flavor.... Very nice, thick, tasty clouds.

ioannisds: Thanks, its always nice to feel smart.

So I just finished smoking some AW mango with the mango Kerns.... Woweeeeeeeeee! Its like a party in my mouth and everyone is invited! I know there is another thread on the page that discusses the mango flavor, but I have to say, smoking the mango with the mango Kerns really impacted it than without water.... not so much as the peach, but it was still a big impact. I think I am gonna have to make my emergency order of guava and apricot. Edited by Zerodynamic

Im a huge orange juice fan when it comes to mixing what goes into the base. I recommend orange juice with most berry shishas, even good with vanilla shisha too!

Nah, it wasn't harder to draw from. The smoke did get thicker though, and had a nice sweeet, mouth puckering flavor.

If we would ever have a bay meet I would show you guys.

I found if I was

1. Strapped for mint shisha
or
2. Didn't want a too strong of a mint flavor

That blending ice, mint leaves, and water together it makes it really really good. I've tried mint tea but that got me nothing.

If you want something with a kick to it try some apricot or any other type or extract or lemon juice.

Hey,

Dont wanna sound like another odd man out but, what exactly is Kerns ? neverheard of it. Are most of you guys from the states ?


Its usually a canned fruit smoothie type drink. Comes in soda like cans.
