SimplexCoda Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 not being able to move was prolly from the buzz. I wont say that tangiers is the best, because everyone pallet is different, so it may be that you wont ever like it. But I wont discount that you may have done something wrong.

Scoop Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 (edited) nicotine poisoning probably. (were you hungry at the time?)i recommend you pack it with washed tobacco for a week or so till you get used to the mild buzz from that before going to all out tangiers.

staygone Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 (edited) OVERPACK the bowl. Me and a couple friend got FLOORED because I was still a Tangiers noob. We all had the same symptoms, minus the throwing up. I solved this by reading up the how to's for packing Tangiers. My number one tip though is overpack the bowl, then pack it some more. Tangiers is wierd like that, but the results of a good bowl are worth it.-QM Edited June 17, 2008 by QuiltedMaple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplexCoda Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 To add to maple..also very little heat is needed for tangiers. If you use too much heat it will skrew you up bad. How much of what kind of coal were you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pingywon Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 if you threw up I can almost bet that Scoop is right.......nicotine poisoning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezter6 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Do you really believe ONE bowl could be nicotine poisoning? I used to smoke up to 3 packs a day almost non-stop at the bar and never once did I throw up from nicotine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Come on chaps.... Nicotine poisoning? Can you even get that from smoking?If the guys is smoking Nahkla he should be able to take Tangiers.Tangiers = 0.3%Nahkla = 0.5%Just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

staygone Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 New age slang for smoking. Ripped= smoked.Seriously though, overpack the bowl. me=same as you one time.-QM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronald_dooley Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Yeah... I have Tangiers Brambleberry I got from Hookah-Shisha.com. I wanted to try Tangiers because a lot of people here seem to think it's so good.First bowl = sucked. Burnt, nasty taste.Second bowl = sucked. same.Third bowl = sucked. Tried the overpacking thing, but it still burnt easily and tasted shite.Next, I'm going to try reducing the heat. I used 3 CocoNaras on a small tangiers superchief. I'm going to try 2 coals, well lit and ashed. Maybe I'll enjoy tangiers this time, I dunno.Al-Fakher for the win!p.s. - got some Starbuzz blue mist coming from MNHookah this week, w00t!

SuburbanSmoker Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I had a similar experience to maple. First time we packed it normally and got super buzzed(to the point where it wasnt fun) next time we overpacked and it was quite enjoyable.And you cant absorb enough nicotine through smoking to posion you. It would have to be "thank you for smoking" status where nicotine is pumped into your blood directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have to be "thank you for smoking" status where nicotine is pumped into your blood directly.you most definitely can absorb enough nicotine to get sick. nicotine poisoning doesn't mean instant death. you get ill first, and if you continue ingesting you can get really f-cked up. it is harder to get nicotine poisoning if you regularly consume nicotine (through cigarettes, cigars, or other washed tobaccos).

staygone Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 (edited) The "buzz" you get is nicotine poisoning.Small or big. Cig or hookah.-QM Edited June 17, 2008 by QuiltedMaple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Underpacking will often cause extreme nicotine rushes. This is because the tobacco doesn't build up enough heat and the nicotine boils off at a fairly low temperature, so some flavors are especially prone to this.
