    First thougts:
    As with all Hydro products, I was excited to try this. It’s herbal, and it’s Hydro, so I figured it would get bad soon, like every experience in the past.

    Apparatus:
    Bowl: Blue Phunnel bowl
    Hose: Green Cobra Hose
    Hookah: Mini Mya Saray
    Coals: Cheap Japanese Naturals
    Filler: Ice water
    Cut: Red dye, bunch of sticks, and evenly flavored.

    Experience:
    Myself: The flavor is orange. It’s like a real orange, without the acid. The orange flavor isn’t too sweet or too sour. It’s basically the perfect mix of orangy-ness. It doesn’t taste like you’re diving right into a cup of fresh orange juice but I can definitely enjoy this flavor. Although, after about 20-25 minutes of smoking this, I got the chemical flavor that Hydro tends to put off.
    Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥ [5/10]

    Smoke:

    The smoke is mediocre. It could be better, but it could be worse. My cheap coals could contribute to the mediocrity of it, but very marginally. With that being said, I’ll also give this one a five out of ten hearts.

    Overall:
    Unless your shisha has to be herbal, I wouldn’t buy this for your first time smoking an orange flavored shisha. There are plenty other brands out there that make amazing orange flavored shisha that I could recommend first. However, if you’re stuck on only smoking herbal shisha, this is a good item for you. Or if it’s the only thing in your price budget, try it. It’s not going to hurt you, and you may even enjoy it more than I did.

    Apparatus:
    Shisha: Hydro Avalanche [Banana]
    Hookah: Mini Mya.
    Bowl: Phunnel bowl
    Hose: Cobra hose
    Coals: Two coco-naras
    First thoughts:
    Myself: My first inhale of it tasted perfect. After the first few puffs, the perfection went away sadly. It seems as though all of the hydro’s have a flavor after a few moments or so. It’s not bothersome at the least.
    Jaime: “good stuff!” Jaime claims. “It tastes like all of the other good banana [shisha’s] out there.”
    All in All:
    This shisha is mediocre as far as just shisha in general. But when you compare it to other herbal shisha’s I’d consider it the premium brand. This banana flavoring is quite superb within it’s beginning time frame. It lasted about a total of 30 minutes with the last 15 minutes of it being not as enjoyable as the first. The flavor itself tasted pretty much like banana juice, if you’ve ever had it. Like I explained in my “First Thoughts:” After a while, there’s a flavor that will throw you off guard. It tastes nothing like banana, it’s more like.. Medicine. A mix between medicine and chemicals. It’s not that bad, and a lot of people don’t notice it, but I’m one for details.
