spoolinspoon Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 dude, the Lucid Line of Tangiers is very user friendly. Pack it just like AF. Just remember that its still tangiers tobacco so use a bit less heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you push down the tobacco once the foil is on, just use the palm of your hand to push it down lightly then wrap the foil tightly around the bowl. Also not too big of holes, i got carried away at one point with the whole "big holes with tangiers" and burned the tangiers and it tasted nasty, you want bigger holes than average, but not huge. When you put the tobacco in the bowl just scoop it with a small fork or your tongues, but dont push it down or anything just scoop it up and let it fall in the bowl till it's highly overpacked.Thats just a few details for you but it sounds like you know what your doing!Goodluck it's the best shisha once you master it!

Kalutika Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 People will tell you that you don't have to but lucid can benefit from some acclimation as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubon Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 QUOTE (spoolinspoon @ Jul 10 2008, 06:25 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>dude, the Lucid Line of Tangiers is very user friendly. Pack it just like AF. Just remember that its still tangiers tobacco so use a bit less heat. I agree, rounds 6 and 7 with tangiers lucid (horchata and k-cherry) were a total knockout. However, I will say that I didn't use ilikeusername's method. I did it according to the Noob method... great smoke, great flavor, long lasting. To each his own, as they say.

Snoopy1966 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 It will take a couple of bowls to get it. Did you try my video out? It is in my sig. Also use toothpick size holes instead of the meat poker. That way worked best for me in the winter time here in WI. It still does , but I think the 3 rings of toothpick size holes will work out for you. Just make sure the bowl is full to the top and do not pack it to tight. Play around with the heat. Take off one coal when it gets to hot, and work that other coal around the bowl for a while and throw the other one on. Also try the lean a QL on thee one that is on the bowl, that works great too if they are 33mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when he says the edges of the bowl are packed down tight, its important to fill the bowl up all the way. A lot of ppl don't fill the edges of the bowl well, so there is a lot of air pockets which make it smoke badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
