    Well, It’s Hydro. If you’re one of my readers, you know what I’m going to say from here. It smells extremely sweet and fruity. Somehow, that never changes.

    Apparatus:
    Bowl: Blue Phunnel bowl
    Hose: Black Nammor hose
    Hookah: Mini Mya
    Coals: Coconaras
    Filler: Ice water
    Cut: Red dye, bunch of sticks, and evenly juiced.

    Experience:
    Myself: At first, it tasted like a light grape. Not too sweet, not too fruity. A pretty even combination. Usually, I absolutely adore Hydro’s flavors, but tonight isn’t the usual. After about twenty minutes, the taste changed. It went from being perfect to tasting like a chemical warfare in my mouth. It doesn’t burn at all, but I’m pretty sure it’s from being overheated.

    The fanclub: [Jaime]: I loved it at first, it tasted like grape kool-aid with just the right sweetness. But once it got harsh, it was absolutely horrible. The main problem was, is that we treated it like we have the rest of the hydro, so there shouldn’t have been any heating issues.

    Smoke:
    The smoke was the best it’s ever been, even after it got harsh. It was undoubtedly the best smoke we’ve had with the Hydro brand shishas.

    Overall:
    While I’ve had this bad experience, I’m not going to give up on Hydro. I have five more flavors to review, and will be doing them shortly. Every flavor that I’ve tried besides this one has been great. I will probably smoke this again, and try a new heating technique.

    FYI:
    If you miss my video reviews, they’ll be on here randomly. I’ve been sick and it’s hard to do a review and look decent when you’re this sick. Either way, they’ll be here, just not on every post.

    I really hate to sound repetitious when I say this, but I honestly believe that Hydro is by far the best herbal shisha out there. A few of the perks I love about Hydro are:

    [1] Hydro is 100% Nicotine, tar, and tobacco free.
    [2] The handy ziplock bags that the herbal shisha comes in, that’s inside of a really nice looking box.
    [3] The smell of the shisha, and the flavor. They’re both completely tantalizing, making you practically drool on yourself until your next hit on the hookah.

    The cons:
    [1] The shisha doesn’t seem to last as long as tobacco shisha.
    [2] They only come in 50g boxes.

    The flavor that I’m reviewing today is Hydro – Blue Viper [ Blueberry ]

    First thougts:
    Of course, you know what i’m going to say by now. The smell of the shisha even before even opening the box could be considered tormenting. It’s like smelling your favorite desert, fresh out of the oven or freezer, and then finding out it was only an air freshener.

    Apparatus:
    Bowl: Blue Phunnel bowl
    Hose: Black Nammor hose
    Hookah: KM [we think?]
    Coals: Some Japanese natural coals
    Filler: Ice water

    Cut: Red dye, bunch of sticks, and evenly flavored.

    Experience:

    Myself: The flavor to me tasted like blueberry muffins.. But more blueberry to me. Or even more like blueberry cream.. I think what I’m getting at, is that it wasn’t exactly dead on blueberry. It didn’t seem to hit the spot, as I was hoping it would. [fantasia!!] Regardless, I wasn’t let down. It is still a great flavor to me.

    The fanclub: Both Jaime and my mom believed there to be a licorice-y aftertaste. They’re not talking about the way the smoke tastes when you blow it out, but after that when you take that first swallow. Overall, they both really enjoyed the flavor and agreed that they would smoke it again.

    Smoke:
    The smoke started out really thick. About 5 minutes later, one of the coals broke in half and I guess somehow it burnt the shisha. That resulted in us pulling off one of the coals, and losing a lot of smoke.

    About the video:
    This was my Mom’s first time smoking an herbal shisha. She didn’t want to be on video, but I made her. So, I’m really sorry for anything that might not need to be in there, but this was a random spur of the moment video.. And you can probably tell.
