KingCobra212 Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 hey, im new here. Ive smoked a handful of times and i get a headbuzz and lots of smoke. But i have never tasted anything. We used Romman strawberry and apple. Am I doing something wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmpitags2006 Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Well the strawberry flavor is usually a light flavor, and not too sure on apple. What is your setup like (bowl, coal, foil/holes, hookah, etc.) Also are you acclimating the shihsa? That usually helps. I just open the jar or whatever you have yours in a couple of hours before I smoke, and I notice usually a better quality of smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just open the jar or whatever you have yours in a couple of hours before I smoke, and I notice usually a better quality of smoke.i think the setup is ok ... we filled the bowl to the rim, used foil with decent sized holes, one piece of coal. we didnt acclimate the shisha. THe other two kids i smoked with said they could taste the flavor. Think im just smoking it wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmpitags2006 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I would say work with your coal management. What size bowl are you using? That is one reason I wanted to know the specifics of your setup. If it is a medium to large bowl you need more coal. If it is a small bowl you might be ok with one coal, but I would bread it up. There are also different types of bowls, ie Glass, Funnel, Glass Funnel, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hash7788 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 (edited) well if there is enough smoke to give you a buzz then it's not that you don't have enough coals. but like the guy above me said coal management. You might be burning the shisha and you won't taste anything, but you'll have a lot of smoke. next time you smoke an d you start getting a good amount of smoke coming out take the coals off and take the foil off and take a look at the shisha to see if anything is burning. thats the only thing i can think of other than the shisha that you have doesn't have a strong flavor.

Hookah_Bob3 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 If the smoke is harsh, then you're probably burning it -- If it's not harsh and they taste it, you may have poor taste buds (do you smoke cigarettes or any other hot smoking objects? They kill your 'buds) Try taking a break from that for a week or so and see if that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDarragh Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Romman is unwashed tobacco so it has 0.5% nicotine compared to the washed stuff with 0.05% so you will get buzz heavier and quicker than normal. If it's not heat it could be the amount you inhale, i have found Romman isnt a real strong flavour and is more subtle than other tobaccos so maybe your buds just arn't picking it up, try some Al Fakher and see what kind of difference it makes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I used to drink wine anything that had the slightest bit of oak in it was overwhelming and disgusting to me. Some people barely tasted the oak.

OfficialMindWarp Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I usually don't taste anything when I smoke, which is fine for me because the smoke is what I enjoy. But I know I'm burning the shisha because when I place my two Coco Nara coals on my Mya bowl (Strawberry Nak) I can hear it sizzling. Is that sizzling the burning of the shisha or the foil?

Coyote Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 This conversation is so hot... Titillating almost. Yes the sizzle is a normal sound associated with vaporization. *Comments in this post do not necessarily reflect those of Tangiers Tobacco* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coyote Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I should add that sizzling it ALSO a sign that your burning your bowl. *Comments in this post do not necessarily reflect those of Tangiers Tobacco* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
