Mixing prior to use

[Guest LondonShisha]

I have some AF apple, and wanted some advice on how to mix the tobacco prior to using it. At the moment, the syrup seems to collect at the bottom of the bag, with the dryish tobacco at the top. Do I mix it with my hands every time so the tobacco at the top is very wet, or just moist? I remember trying it with very moist tobacco and not getting a very successful smoke - maybe it took too long to heat up or something.

well...mine hant really lived long enough to dry out, but I'd mix it with my fingers. As for too wet, I don't think it can be TOO wet really, And I KNOW af apple is sopping wet. Try managing your heat better if you are having troubles with good sokes. What was wrong when you tried it with the wet stuff?

What I do is flip the box or tub upside down. That way the juice is toward the top.

Last night I made sure I mixed it properley with my hands, and had pretty 'wet' tobacco going into the bowl. Can't say I was satisfied with the smoke - I got hardly any flavour (compared to using it relatively dry), and it had a weird - how do i describe it - slightly oily taste coming through.Gotta look for the right balance of composition... maybe turning it upside down every other day or so might work.
