Tangiers Killed...

[Xeft]

Huge problem. I smoke all the time and never ever have trouble inhaling any brands. This blueberry I got of Tangiers had ruined my life. I was with a few friends of mine. Nate and Katie. Now normally on any other occasion Nate would have trouble inhaling and Katie and I would smoke it just fine. This time everything was set like normal but Katie and I both had huge problems inhaling without coughing out a lung. Nate did not..... *grrrr*...

What happend? Any ideas as to how I might have setup with Tangiers wrong?

a possability that you didnt pack the bowl enough? really more details are needed on what appears to be your problem, what setup, hows the smoke and so on

i had a big problem with smoking tangier till i learned to pack it right. basically just more tobacco and it smoked a LOT better

MORE TOBACCO

ive never smoked tangiers but from what ive read on this forum i came to the conclusion that there is a whole science behind packing a bowl of tangiers and proper heat management and hole placement in the foil. but once you become a tangiers scientist then it smokes like a charm.

I've had these problems too, so i just gave up on tangiers. I can get awesome flavor, but the smoke tickles my throat. It isnt harsh, it just makes me want to cough or gag. Maybe i'll give it another shot in the future, but for now tangiers just isnt for me. I'm not trying to diss on tangiers, because even if the smoke was smooth the nicotine would knock me of my ass.

Sounds like the same problem i have!!!! there are some flavors especially some berries that tickle my throat super bad... and when i inhale it makes me cough really bad... but others that dont smoke much dont have the problem and love it... it is pretty lame. i usually make sure i smell it before i smoke it cuz i can usally tell when it is a really strong sharp smell

I tried Tangiers for the first time this weekend and I was expecting problems because learning to pack it correctly seems to have been a problem for many people, but honestly it's smoked perfectly all half dozen bowls I've lit this weekend. Clove, Apricot Spring Blend and Orange Soda. There's a buzz, but it's not nearly "kicking my ass" as many people claim it does. I mentioned this on the chat last evening and was told I probably naturally pack a little heavy. I have noticed when I empty the funnel bowl while it's crispy almost all the way through there is a very thin layer at the bottom that's still somewhat moist so could be they were right. My other flavors, even Starbuzz just aren't as good. Maybe I'm just lucky with it?

Make sure you acclimate it enough. When I first tried the blueberry, I didn't acclimate it enough and it was harsh and gross. Try acclimation, make sure you're packing enough tobacco in the bowl, don't over/under heat the shisha. I use three half coals on a small tangiers phunnel without a mod and it smokes like a dream every time... you just have to put enough tobacco in and let it bake for a couple minutes before you pull.
