Voski Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 I started with two coco-naras on my medium phunnel and the smoke wasn't thick so I used a wind cover and it was great. Then after a while I took it off and started rotating coals. I'll do it more frequently next time. The bowl should still be fine right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voski Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 Well I give up. Thats 500g of bramble berry and one bowl of what I would call decent for 30 minutes. I tried something different with each bowl and it never worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voski Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 What does juicy peach taste like? Actual peach? I give up on the giving up thing. I'll try it again but not bramble berry. Any other recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voski Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 More fail in the Voski house. But not to the same extent. I packed it like I normally do with the push the foil down thing. It didn't work so good. So I did the other method where you just pack the shit out of the bowl until juices start coming to the top. It smokes better but its still a little harsh. I think its from the new batch too but I still let it aclimate for like 2-3hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voski Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 OK I lit up the same bowl like 2 hours later and it was a lot better. It was slightly harsh sometimes but it was ok. The ladies did not dig it though =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should make a video of packing Tangiers and the hole pattern and show you guys what is like to get good smoke on the first pull. Todays project. I will use my regular Phunnel bowl for it. I hope it turns out OK. I only have my digital camera to take vids. Should be OK though. I just need to figure out how to make the recording longer. I stops after about 3 minutes and I cant find out how to change the settings. I will have to break out the owners manual. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voski Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 My holes are skewer sized. I'll snap a pic. I would love a video snoopy![attachment=1463:medfunholes.jpg] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmunRa Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 When I pack mine, I do not poke holes around the center opening. I start at the outside rim an do two circles of holes, with the rings spaced about .5" apart, and the holes spaced about .5" apart. As an aside, I use holes that are the same size as the ones in your pictures. ALso, don't mash the foil down as much. I barely pressit in, and I only do it around the rim of the bowl. You are using the correct heat, so see if that works for you. Tangiers takes some practice to get it right, and I've been trying for about 1-1.5 years now...I can shamefully say I have had maybe 4-5 bowls of it that smoked perfectly. So just keep working at it. When it gets going that first time, I promise you'll be hooked on it.Happy smoking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 my holes are similar to yours except i do the center too...tried with and without, cant tell the difference but eric puts holes in the middle so i said why not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimplexCoda Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 So voski. You could try packing it like i show it packed in my thread. "I just got my tangiers out of the box" I would post a link but i have problems posting links to threads. It smokes pretty good. BTW, I smoked cocoa yesturday and it was very nice.

speel Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I spent 35$ on the hookah-shisha tangiers thing they have and I threw all of it out acclimated it for 2 weeks stirred it, shaked it, jiggled it, took out my magical wand and tried to wish on it but it still smelled like bbq sauce. Thats my horror story and I will never buy it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats my horror story and I will never buy it again.you should have sent it to me. but i found that how tangy smells and how it tastes when being smoked doesnt really make sense because i had some k peach that smelled liked soy sauce even after acclimating and being the sushi fan i am i thought i would enjoy myself some soy shisha and to my suprise it taste just like peaches with an awesome spice undertone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
