Serbetli vs other beands

I was having a pretty big problem at home packing bowls with 0 taste. I figured out my problem. I was underpacking, I was getting smoke, no burning and no flavor but even having figured out packing, what I'm noticing is that across the board with preferred flavoring profiles, like lemon cake and other fruity flavors Serbetli seems to be a very high quality brand.

I don't want this to be about blonde leaf or dark leaf. I'm going to say in regards to that the difference for me would be a nicotine buzz. I've also noticed the companies that focus on dark leaf also have more unique flavors, but setting that aside and setting aside personal flavor preferences: there are some brands I haven't tried yet, but i've tried eternal smoke, tangiers, Starbuzz, fumari, musthave, al fakher, nakhla, and maybe a couple I can't remember, but I have to say Serbetli seems to be probably the best quality smoke I've had where I'm getting clouds, and I'm getting a lot of flavor and it's accurate and it lasts.

I can't tell if it's just that I've figured out how to pack my tobacco now. But overall, it seems like any flavors of their brand that I put in, it seems to be great across-the-board. Is this something you've noticed as well? Or would you say that as a whole, for their more popular flavors of any brand there are others that are simply better overall, I'm not talking about preference like saying mango of musthave is better than tangiers and peach of tangiers is better than must have, I just mean overall, have you guys noticed that Serbetli seems to just be better?

Is must have just hype?

Ive been doing a bad job lately, I think probably underpacking, I'm not getting burning, I'm getting smoke, but I'm getting no flavor it's happened with tangiers and other brands as well. And I think it's from underpacking, either way, i've had success with tangiers, both packing at home a long time ago, as well as at lounges, as well as al fakher, starbuzz, fumari etc.

Lately I tried eternal smoke flavors and the most flavorful lately was serbetli lemon cake, but except for one bowl of pinkman, must have has had zero taste for me, is it actually good? Am i wasting my money?

How long does it take to process new plan for those on SAVE forbearance?

I received the 90 day notice, I want to select a new plan as close to the 90 days as possible but I'm worried about any unforseen issues. 1) What are some potential setbacks or delays you were not expecting when you chose a new plan from SAVE forbearance? 2) Once your selection was submitted how long until the change was (confirmed in writing to be) approved? 3) How long until the first payment is expected?

I know that PAYE ends sometime in 2028 but thats the plan I am thinking of switching to.

Be honest, how often do you clean your hookah?

How often do you clean your hookah? Does it make a difference in flavor strength after cleaning?

Musthave twenty five gram

Anybody know, if these twenty five gram packs have a kind of reputation for not smoking well? I bought a medium pack of the pinkman and its smoked great, I bought the twenty five gram of apple drops and lemon tonic, and i'm getting zero taste out of both of them. Same exact setup, so I don't wanna go through the whole thing, but i'm getting no taste out of the twenty five gram packs.

Dean Radin

I just finished the episode. It was great. What he kept mentioning as a scientist he wrote a book that had magic in the title because of 2 experiences. He had one with the spoon bending party he went to, but the second one he kept trying to say it and Joe interrupted him a few times, did he ever actually say what the second experience was? And if not, does anybody know from other interviews he's given, or any of his books?

Musthave

I tried musthave for the first time, pinkman, Im impressed, haven't smoked in a while, I smoked mostly tangiers the last few years, many years before I tried a lot of the "original" shisha brands, nakhla, AF, then starbuzz, eventually fumari and then tangiers, I picked up some 50gm packs of eternal, serbetli, adalya I have yet to try, I started with pinkman, it was good, I got the 125gm of that, they didn't have the smaller ones of musthave, the guy said pinkman was a little "earthy" and less sweet than the other 125 I was considering which was pineapple rings, I wish i got that too, pinkman was still good, I know what he meant by earthy, it was like smoking guava tea.

I got serbetli lemon pie, lime lychee blueberry

Eternal smoke blueberry lit, watermelon lit

Adalya ladykiller and love 66

Haven't tried any of those yet

I got coco loco coal, I used AOT metal top (no cover) pretty good.

Edit: I just tried Serbetli Lemon Pie, it was very good, Im surprised, not something Id smoke regularly but very good, the vanilla/cake taste was very authentic.

HMD, how many people on here are still putting coals directly on foil?

I bought an expensive and popular black HMD tears ago, I think it was called the klaud, it didn't work so great for me. I'm reading on some posts people saying that they let the coals heat it up before they start smoking. I didn't do that, but I'm wondering what's the reason people don't want to put coals directly on the foil? That's how all the popular lounges do it, that's how I've always done it at home. What's the benefit of going with a device? I see so many people posting their setup and it almost seems to be a sin not to include one, obviously everyone has the right to do what they want. But what I'm wondering is, what's the big benefit? Is it just a phase or a trend, or is there actually a benefit to using these things?

Is there a deadline for PAYE?

Is there a deadline for PAYE applications? I've read some people here say Jun 30th, I hope thats untrue and I can stay on SAVE as long as possible and then jump to PAYE when (near) the 90 days ends from July 1st (or when my loan carrier emails me)

Oakley Radar EV Path Prizim Sunglasses

I got sunglasses off ebay, new, they look legit but my issue is the gold lens, the ones I tried on in stores over a year ago (I took photos) the lens is a gold mirror, you cant see the person's eyes, these I got off ebay are darker gold lenses, less mirror, the website now has them looking like the ones I received, are they not making the mirror gold lens anymore?

I get lighting in stores like sunglasses hut exaggerate things but its really not the same, I'm wondering if the mirror one is discontinued or the fakes are commonly like I described? or both types of gold lenses exist and I got the one I don't want?
