Well this is a topic i have searched for as i have had some personal experience of doing something different in my routine and noticing it changes or enhances the flavor or taste of my meds. to get you hooked and keep reading a simple example of one thing i apply to my everyday life is, for my wake and bake i dont brush right when i wake up ughh i know a sin but i brew my favorite tea (organic african nectar by mighty leaf pricy mightleaf.kom not an endorsement btw) or a nice mint tea which if you keep reading will know why. but i 'medicate' while drinking my morning brew and the african nectar tea has a very flowery taste and any fruity med i am enjoying is aromatically wonderful and you can taste the blueberry or lemon in the haze x10. followed of course by breakfast then the teeth brushing. simple maybe stupid but just an example of what this post is about.
i know lots of people try and do achieve success bringing out the aromatics of their strains via unique or just proper curing, pure organic soil vs hydro or dwc is said to tastes better (agreed personally), proper and unique care and fertilizing throughout the grow, adding certain things to your nug jug or bag like an orange peel to rehydrate dry meds and give it an orangy flavor, and even stranger things like adding flavor concentrates to the soil thinking the flowers process this and keep the aroma. whatever you think of those previous methods are not what im asking or care about they are covered on many threads. so in this thread i am looking for things you can do to yourself or your pipe or something new that hasnt been touched on that changes how your meds taste to you and we can open it up to the negative spectrum as well and add in things you notice make your meds taste awful like throwing a roach in your jug or bag for a simple example.
i do apologize if this seems long, it is an problem that im working on. i am working on line breaks and condensing but my fingers go so fast and there is a lot that want out so some posts are short stories, but if you stick with it and contribute we all may learn something new because like i mentioned there does not seem to be a specific post/site to go to that touches on this subject and if there is something i dont know that makes my meds taste better that doesnt affect my grow procedure at all or change my product by adding to it either pre or post chop im down to try it im not here to discuss growing methods or curing just things to do or not do to better the help savor the flavor.
and now for some things that i have noticed or picked up thru part-taking in medicating if your still with me. first off if you are a smoker which i am an on and off again fashion like 3yrs on 3yrs off, wait until after medicating to smoke a cig or wait 15 minutes. kind of in conjunction with smoking is of course cleansing the pallet this will always help but brushing your teeth right before medicating can be a negative for the taste for a lasting period.
so for a clean pallet i like a simple warm salt water gargle or regular water if your that guy(between regular brushing of course im not advocating not brushing your teeth because it make it better at all lol) , a more traditional and ive found effective means is anything with mint maybe an andys mint(box on my study desk always haha), a fresh sprig chewed the stuff grows easy throw it in your room with the babies and it helps for odor control as well 2 birds one stone, spoonful of mint ice cream, really anything with mint good like mint tea works well but i avoid any gum which ive found to be a negative. when you have smoked with ass mouth compared to a clean pallet it is night and day difference and subtle tastes become more noticable.
pipe or smoking instrument cleanliness in an integral part of enjoying a good smoke. some people collect the resin i think its poison so i have no problem every morning giving my instrument of choice a nice hot bath. if you clean your pipe every time you use or rather day or change of flavor the process of cleaning it is mindless and requires no solutions just hold under hot as you can handle tap water 1-2 mins and good as new pipe is in your hand. for the more stubborn a plastic cup under the tap, pipe inside with an opening facing the oncoming too hot for you to handle hot water so it shoots into the pipe 5 mins good to go. some that have not cleaned in weeks/months may just want to start fresh by boiling in a tight container so it doesnt bounce and break by this i mean it fits your piece not a huge soup pot for a glass 3 hit pipe boil for 10-15 mins and removing but be warned the boiling method stinks the whole house up like what your cleaning out of it and of course the pipe is hot like the water so cool with tap water but remove from the resin water when you feel its done or it gets sticky as it cools in the pot and will still be 'dirty'. a fresh pipe daily equals great taste every time.
the tea i mentioned above is one of my favorite additives at any time of day it really has a unique ability to make the fruity meds fruitier and the hashy soapy smelling ones hashier the skunky skunkier and so on. but it is not limited to that tea i find any hot tea like the mint make my mouth feel more fresh or ready for a flavor and a drink in between every rip is about how it goes nowadays because even a cheap earl grey i find makes it taste so much deeper or more seems to have more levels of flavor. my wife is the coffee hound and she swears that the coffee has the same affect so maybe it has more to do with the hot liquid than the brew (myself i think coffee tastes like onions and leaves you with ass mouth whereas tea does not but the wife does endorse the coffee). so try your favorite hot brew maybe even cider and let us know how it affects your session.
ok i will add more if this gets any attention this is getting to the short story level and i dont want to scare anyone off as i find this could be a fun and productive topic of discussion as many people i know do certain things in their smoking routines that they have found affect the taste either negatively or positively but only notice they do it or talk about it when i ask or bring it up they start to think and some have tried my methods and use them regularly. hopefully you guys have some more ideas along these lines, nothing harmed or changed my growing preference or curing preference but all the things i mentioned do affect my experience. i cant say everyone who drinks a cup of tea is gonna dramatically notice their brick tastes like 818 haha but it cant hurt anyone either and thats what this post is about.
thanks for reading hope for some input and more of mine will follow only not in novel form now that we are all on the same train of thought.
