thegreengoblin707 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 (edited) I'm curious. Why does someone get an enhanced buzz by underpacking the bowl? I hear this happens a lot as a mistake especially with Tangiers and Nakhla tobacco. Is it some kind of poisoning?? I've never tried it as I'll order my bowls tomorrow. To follow up, is it safe to underpack a large Tangiers original bowl? If so, should I pack the entire surface shallow (thus more space between foil and shisha) or fully pack part of the surface (leave the center empty)? Thanks!

nicayotte Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I thin its because you are getting more air/coal then tabacco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I've never noticed it myself, but I'd guess it's because you end up BURBING the tobaccoif you underpack it. Burning the stuff will sure give you a bigger buzz that properly vaporizing/smoking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegreengoblin707 Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 our good friend Sonthert always states that a common mistake with Tangiers or Nakhla tobacco is to underpack that is why I asked. I heard some people make only 2 or 3 holes and cover those holes with coal and that caused a sensation. of course, that was caused by Carbon monoxide poisoning because the shisha gets no oxygen. very bad! that cannot be the case here. i'm sure my true japs have some fumes we cannot smell or detect but they are of course less fumy or loaded with chemicals than quick lites. i imagine that heat from the coal transfers through the air to reach the shisha and heat it. perhaps shisha with no space blocks coal fumes whereas an empty space allows the coal fumes to come through easier. would be suprised if 2 little pieces could make such a difference.

mushrat Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 with tangiers, you better belive 2 pieces of coal can make a difference.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geiseric Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I don't know about you guys, but I for one find it pretty damn hard to burn Tangiers. Hell I find it hard to fully smoke a whole bowl of the stuff, it just goes and goes and goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitefanatic Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 All this talk is making me want to give Tangiers another go. I tried it once and all I got was an hour long lung hacking session (from one puff!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 You just gotta pack it just right. And set the coals perfectly. But it is up to you to figure out the right amount of coals and hole placement, everybody's environmental conditions are different.I reccomend finding out how Mushrat packs bowls in his lounge. If he can get people who have never smoked before to enjoy Tangiers, so can you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejoshman Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 the way i pack my starbuzz with a quarter of it empty. since starbuzz passion kiss is realllllly consentrated. so it creates more smoke that way, and higher ventalation. and since it is underpacked like that, i have noticed a stronger buzz.
