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.

Do you want the dictionary definition or what I think it is?
In my eyes, shisha is tobacco that is flavored for use with a hookah pipe. Shisha does have very little nicotine, but none of the additives or tar that most other tobaccos have. Shisha can contain sugars, natural flavors, artificial flavors, glycerin, molasses, salts, alcohol, and spices. Some of these things have been known to hurt people, or alter their moods. Also, a lot of hookah bars require you to drink something so you won’t pass out. There is logic behind this, but I’m not saying you can’t smoke without drinking or eating. Some people just need to be more careful than others.

If you open a bag or can of shisha, and it’s dripping, it’s probably too wet.
Some example shisha’s: Al Fakher, starbuzz, and fantaisia.
If a tobacco is too wet, it more than likely isn’t going to smoke as well as it should. An easy way to fix this, is to put the amount of shisha you’re going to need to fill the bowl onto a sheet of paper towel. Compress it, but not too much; You don’t want it to lose all of the juice. There you go. If it’s still too juicy, try it again. Some of the results of too juicy shisha include but are not limited to: Harsh burning smoke, no smoke, very little smoke, and stomach aches.

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.

To smoke, or not to smoke? That’s the question I’m faced with today. Tomorrow, May 31st, is “World No Tobacco Day.” Now, I’m a firm believer that cigarette smoke is nasty. Even if you smoke, you probably agree with me, right? Well, as much as I would love to see the world quit smoking, it’s not reality. It’s just not probable. Like on earth day, how the media asked everyone to turn off their power for a whole hour. Sure, some people did it. But in reality, how many people could do that once a day? How many people could live without something that they have lived with just about their whole life?

I’m not sure if they’re doing this to help the atmosphere, our health, or just to have some kind of involvement in trying to change the world. Either way, I’m still stuck with the question. Should I smoke hookah on “World No Tobacco Day?” Or, should I observe the holiday and try to “Help save the world?”

What are you going to do tomorrow? Are you going to not smoke, only because you’re asked not to? How do you feel about WHO’s actions to try to get the world to quit smoking?
