ASUSEAN1 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Alright so I was thinking the other day why Eric uses such bug holes when he packs his bowl and it came to me, this is why so many people are having trouble with Tangiers. I see so many people poke pin holes and the heat from the coals is being trapped inside the bowl.. making it way to harsh. With bigger holes there is more airflow, the tobacco is cooled down instead of just roasted. Hope this helps someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayVer Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I guess maybe my combination of both small and large is what gets my tangiers going good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamscott06 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Im def gonna try it out.. whenever i smoked i use like a toothpick and just poke like 8 holes along the outside and then like 2 or 3 in the middle... sometimes when it gets harsh i pull the phunnel off and smoke just poors and poors out the top.. maybe this wont happen anymore......

Johnny_D Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I think Sean is on the money.I damn near laughed at Mushrat when he told me to use less coals and more holes.But he was on the money, and that's how i've seen Oggie505 pack it up.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geiseric Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 (edited) When my bowl gets so hot that taking it off and blowing on it just makes it smolder more, I tip it upside down on my table and clamp my hand on it to suffocate it, then let it cool a bit before putting it back.*This was *in response* to jamscott66's post, kind of lost continuity there*Damn, I fail at making sense today.

ASUSEAN1 Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 yea i started doing it a couple weeks ago and I usually don't smoke straight tangiers but i ran on of layalina and eric sent me a couple kilos so i decided to mess with it and it has worked wonders.. no tingle.. i use jap coals with tangiers too though which i think is basically necessary unless you cut your quicklights into quarters..also even with the phunnel i think you need to poke holes all over with a fork.. not jus a circle around the outside.

GolovA Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 (edited) that is weird, since larger holes don't give you as much smoke. hmmm... i am going to try tangiers tonight, but with the usual Cup (or whatever it's called), since i don't have a phunnel yet.Yeah, Pictures would help a lot =] Edited October 30, 2007 by GolovA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 GolovA - Tangiers don't need much heat, and pack the bowl really really well. Lots of tobacco & not much heat.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
