ChRoNiC hYpNoTiC

Hey guys, back again and I am absolutely wrecked but I'm going to try my hand at a review. First of all I apologize for the title, but if you think about it I could of wrote the entire review like that, so be thankful. I'm going to try my best to act classy despite the fact that I woke up in my friends back yard under a tarp. Thankfully it didn't rain as we were supposed to have a thunderstorm overnight. I guess that's what the tarp was for. Lol. Anyway, let's see if I can find a flavour that can be fitting for the situation at hand.


Because this morning I'm feeling a little hypnotic after smoking too much chronic. And drinking. Derp.
This is definitely one of the more popular flavours. Most people seem to recommend this one. I haven't found or heard any Tasty Puff review that did not give this flavour praise, so let's see what all the hype is about. So there appears to be a bottle on the bottle. Yep. This might be a lot harder then I thought.
Like, there is a picture of a bottle displayed in the background on the bottle, and with a name like Chronic Hypnotic, your typical stoner isn't going to know what he's getting into. The flavour's title is vague, but you got to admit that it's intriguing...
 Although the same can be said for Sweet Leaf, and that was a disaster...
I guess that's why you're reading!

Crackin it open, this has a nice refreshing scent to it, although I can tell right away that this is going to be a hard one to describe. I'm going to take a real long shot with this one, and say that this is what I would imagine 7-up smelling like if you boiled it down to some kind of syrup. Sorry guys. That truly is the best I can do here. Lol.
I keep whiffing it and I'm picking up alot of random scents, so I think I'm just gonna give up. It's what it tastes like that matters, so if you buy these things to sit around sniffing them all day like I'm doing right now you can go eff yourself.

I put 2 drops in a bowl's worth of product and gave it a minute or two to dry off right quick. I'd say this is the standard for most flavours. I'd usually use just one drop for light flavouring, but the taste wouldn't come in strong enough to give an accurate review. Putting in 3 drops or more would be overpowering but if you like that hey to each their own. I'm not here to tell you how to go about your business. 

Here's my lighter, here's my bong,
a picture of Cheech and Tommy Chong !




I lit her up and once again my senses were not deceived. Has a pleasant taste to it but I just can't really seem to get my finger on it. I will address the fact though that I do not find this to taste like boiled down 7-up. At all. I can say however that this mixes quite nicely with a drop of Lemon-Lime Kamikaze, or Cool Menthol. Heck, why not even just make a small batch with both? Experimentation is fun if done correctly.

If anybody can help me out with finding things that are similar in flavour to this that would be cool. I usually try to find at least one thing I can compare the taste to, but this one just completely baffles me.

If you're on the fence with this one, I'd say try it out. You will like it as I've yet to hear a complaint about it from anyone in my experience. It usually ends up being a favourite, and therefore a must have for your collection.
With that being said, 4/5 bong hits for the mysterious hypnotic chronic. I'm even going to go out of my way and give it a 4.2 because fuck it, I am a wild beast.

Cockamamie Clove

I just saw this sitting in my post list, it was a draft and never got finished. The last time I used this blog I was writing this up, so might as well pick up from where I left off! I'll be sure to indicate with a * to let you all know where I'll be picking back up again. As you can see, I started writing this on Halloween...



Hey folks,
It's Hallow's eve and I'm thinking I may just have found enough time for a review! And for some reason, I feel that Tasty Puff's "Cockamamie Clove" is appropriate. I thought to myself, "what could be a good flavour to test on Halloween?" and honestly, the only thing that comes to mind is Cockamamie Clove because it is so obscure. Didn't think I'd get around to this one anytime soon, but what the heck right?
So right off the back, I can tell I'm in for something different. First of all, Cockamamie Clove? What is a Cockamamie Clove? I Googled the term and all I am pointed to is this strange Tasty Puff flavour. I found a definition for Cockamamie, here it is.


Cockamamie: ludicrous, foolish; "gave me a cockamamie reason for not going"; "wore a goofy hat"; "a silly idea"; "some wacky plan for selling more books"



Well okay then. Doesn't that clear some confusion. You'd think maybe the picture on the bottle would help you out a little, but no it just baffles me some more. Almost looks like chicken legs. Anyway, the fun continues when you open the bottle, so lets do that.


* And picking back up where we left off... Let's just say I'm no clove expert. I'm only so familiar with cloves, but when it comes to the smell of this concoction, I'd say it might be more along the lines of a cinnamon. Again, though, allow me to express my ignorance to cloves. My encounters with them in my lifetime happens to be minimal. That being said, I can't say how accurate the smell is to that of actual cloves... But considering they are of the cockamamie variation, my guess would be "not entirely accurate". I must say though, the scent is very familiar. Like something I'd come across at my grandparents house. It's not strong, though. I'd say it's aromatic, and a nice smell, however mixing it with herb just seems unfitting.

Keeping it simple and brief, it tastes exactly like how it smells and delivers pretty much what you would expect after capturing it's scent. In it's entirety, this is definitely not a conventional flavour, and would only break it out for novelty purposes or to surprise your friends in the sense of "man, you have got to try this, because it's totally whack."

So there you have it. I'll give it half a bong hit, because your herb is probably better off without it, but it's worth one try if you get the opportunity, and only if you're aching to satisfy your curiosity... Unlike Sweet Leaf, which I don't even recommend trying one time. I really should just do that one over!

Back again! With "Cool Menthol" and 420 pageviews! ;D

So it's been a while since I've done anything with this blog. I've had a lot of free time on my hands lately, so I decided I'd like to finish what I started. Why the heck not? We'll call it the 420 page view come back, and since we're doing that, I'm gonna hit it off with my favourite flavour thus far, Cool Menthol.



Before I continue, I want to highlight various things that make cool menthol so great.

  • It mixes excellently with most other flavours. Yes, that's right. Think Lemon-Lime Menthol. Think Melon Menthol. Blueberry Menthol. Does that not sound absolutely delicious? Ever chew on Dentyne Ice Cherry gum? Because Cool Menthol and Chick Magnet Cherry taste just like it when mixed together. Lets just say it goes well with anything fruity. Avoid mixing with chocolate, sweet leaf, cockamamie clove... You get the drift.

  • It's mouth numbingly cold. Seriously. Put one too many drops of this one and good luck clearing the chamber without getting a brainfreeze.

  • Use ice in your bong? This will compliment your ice cold smoke. They just go hand in hand like that, the flavour kind of creates the illusion of cooled smoke without ice anyway.


So, down to the meat and potatoes. Your not going to get much a smell off of this, but if you stick it up your nose trying to get a whiff, what you'll get instead is a wake up call. Similar in experience to (and if you've ever) gotten hand sanitizer in or around your nose. Just kinda wakes up the nostrils if you know what I mean.

As for the flavour, it's hard to say. It tastes like straight up Cool Menthol... It's intense and can be mouth numbingly cold if a retarded amount is used. I pretty much always mix this with another flavour, so it's by far the one I use the most. I highly recommend making a small batch of 1 drop Cool Menthol, 1 drop Convicted Melon, and 1 drop of Blueberry Thrill. My friends and I have found this to be the most amusing mix by far! It tastes just as good as it sounds.

Naturally I'm going to have to give this one 5/5 bong hits as it's truly a flavour I can not live without. A necessity for any collection. Now that I think about it, maybe I should order myself some spicy cinnamon or something similar to retort? Hmmm... ! ... Jalapeno / Tabasco Tasty Puff? Would you smoke it if there was such a thing?
