supersubby Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 yeah i repaked it three times and washed it out. i have a nammor and i even ran water through that bad boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaia.plateau Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 (edited) Okay, first, stop using the word 'amazing' so much, once is horrible enough, twice in a row is just obscene. Second, try breathing in through your hose... water doesn't really do the trick for nammors. If that gives you a taste, wash it out with lemon juice and/or vodka, then rinse with water until there is no taste.If that doesn't work, try using other bowls. I've never even heard of someone getting a flavour problem from bowls... but who knows. If you don't get the problem from other bowls, you know what you have to do. I'd recommend soaking the bowl first in bleach, then in lemon juice and baking soda, then maybe rinse a half shot of vodka through it for good measure. If it isn't the bowl, try other flavours with your phunnel bowl, could be that something got into your shisha.If it isn't your bowl, or your shisha, or your hose, it has to be your hookah. Do a damn good cleaning of it with very hot, if not boiling water, lemon juice, baking soda, soap, vodka, etc. You can't clean a hookah too thoroughly.If that doesn't work, you probably just have a tumour.

addicted2shisha Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Doubt its your bowl... hardly ever is... pull thru your pipe and if thats ok then its your hookah... give it a good clean and if you still have a problem try a strong flavour like mint and see what taste you get...

I think it's disappointing that people get off on judging others based solely on their own opinions, perceptions and prejudices.

theotherone31415 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I've heard the amount of shisha one uses actually affects the taste? Can't say this is totally true, but i recall times where i've put just a bit of shisha and got either no taste or just the taste of coals and death. so yeah, try packing it more if it's not close to the top. i would doubt it's anything being unclean seeing how adamant you are about the rigor of your cleaning . bad batch of tobaccy maybe? i've gotten those and nothing solves that except the trash can.

paiintballa182 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 its all heat management, just expiriment with differnt coal amounts and placement, and different base levels until you get the perfect levels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exxxtra Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 If everything is clean, try playing with these variables:Amount of shisha (barely touching foil)Amount of coals (start with less)FoilHole pattern/sizes (trial an error) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louman3333 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 3 hour session i never heard of such a thing!!! i just ordered some tangiers i hope it lasts that long btw how many coals for a 3 hour sesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog_916 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 My bowls go consistently over 2 hours, often over three. Tangiers I could smoke several hours if I had the lungs for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paiintballa182 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 the long sessions are usually more of a result of bowl choice than tobacconot that shisha dosen't play its role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog_916 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I use just a normal bowl for most of my sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using a mod bowl and AF, which is what I have been doing a lot lately, I usually go 90 minutes (holds about half as much shisha as a mya bowl). With a mya bowl and AF I'll always go over 2 hours. With a phunnel bowl and AF you're looking at 3-5 hours, and with Tangiers in a phunnel bowl I've gotten over 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
