DrShisha Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Whats consensus on this then! Hookahwiki says wrinkly foil is a bad move. Sometimes the foil just gets wrinkly and just i just tend to use it. Is it really affecting performance??????!!!!??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny_D Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I *HATE* it when my foil crinkles. So much so that i will bin it and start again.I like a nice uniform stretched drum-like foil over the foil, wrinkle free.I personally think that the wrinkles allow the foil to touch the tobacco.JD - Wrinkle Free!

Sonthert Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Wrinkles make it harder to poke holes without tearing. A straight, tight foil is easier to pierce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearsay Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 How is wrinkly foil even an issue? Pull it straight like Scoop said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racemyghost Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Wrinkled foil will disrupt air flow and air dynamics Pulled that one out of my @$$ (butt-dyno) but makes sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinamon Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 i dunno about you guys but i think wrinkled foil might actually be better.it may not be aesthetically pleasing but it would mean more surface area that would heat the tobacco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hearsay Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I disagree. It's not as if the shisha is going to jump up and fill the wrinkles. Instead you'll have small pockets of air that cause your shisha to smoke unevenly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearsay Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 The coal would still touch the same surface area if not less of the foil though. You'd be increasing your surface area in contact with air, which would cool, not heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 (edited) Coincidentally, all three of those girls are cousins and sisters to each other. I think the heat will stabilize across the bowl, the same way a pan of water will still boil if its not on the burner evenly...part of it will hang off. It will take the same amount of heat longer to an amount of work or more heat to do the same amount of work. Wrinkly foil will act more like a heat sync, increasing the surface area to volume ratio. So you're both right. I think. Unless I'm wrong. So, if I'm wrong, then one of you also has to be wrong, so either all three of us are wrong, two of us are wrong or we're all right. It couldn't be that only one of us is wrong...unless it were me that were wrong, but that would mean both of you weren't right...Oh no, I've done the head spinning around on my neck thing.

quakerotis Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 i started a gang called the tinfoils. we wore tinfoil on our faces like bandanas. we were a pacifist gang though, so the other gangs just beat us up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
