ilikemyusername Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 so last night i decided to give the lucid passionfruit a go again.i packed the bowl as per snoopy's video suggestedjust kinda fluffed it into the bowl because the more i try to get a good bowl the more i'm not going to get a good bowlit came up a little past the edge of the phunnel i placed on my foil and pressed down a bitused a toothpick to make 3 rings of holesi started with 2 1/4 sticks of exoticas and a windcover and just let the bowl heat up for about 5 minutesi removed the windcover and my first puff was an incredibly flavorful CLOUD of puffy heaven.all was wellabout 20 minutes into it the smoke got real thin and harsh. not a tickle in my throat, HARSH! my body was telling me this is not something i should be doing.i let the bowl cool back down, removed one exotica and got back to it.great flavorwispy smokelungs feeling crappyplace #2 coal ongreat flavor wispy smoke lungs feeling crappyplace coals # 3 & 4 great flavorMASSIVE CLOUD thought i was going to die, that was the last puff of tangiers i had.i'll keep trying until i get it because i know this isn't right, but if i go through this bag and don't get it, i'm just sticking with AFi can see the potential this shisha has, it just doesnt care to apply itself!

Snoopy1966 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Break the exoticas in thirds and use two thirds of a stick. Thin smoke and tickle is a sign of not enough heat.I pack the Lucid the same way but not as full as normal Tangiers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Ninja Robot Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I'm tellin you username, same issues. Do the positives out weigh the frustrations people? Cuz I'm close to placing my first big order (7 days till birthday!) and I don't know if I even want to pick up the Lucid I was planning on anymore. I'm up for a challenge but I'm not gonna waste 16 bucks if it takes me an entire 250 just to practice and ruin my lungs/throat in the process.

SuburbanSmoker Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 A little trick i picked up when i first started smoking tangiers was same amount of coal in smaller increments. I use 4 pieces of japanese coal with them hanging off the edges of the bowl.for the first five minutes every time we pass we move the coals a little bit, and dont use a windcover. This helped the bowl heat up and allowed for us to avoid any harsh smoke.granted it takes a little longer to get the bowl to chimney status but ill take five minutes of shit smoke for 2 hours of amazing smoke. Keep in mind we usuallly use a large phunnel. hope it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookah hippie Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Tangiers tobacco takes a very minimal amount of heat try slowly adding coals until it feels like you are getting big clouds and its not harsh smaller pieces of coals will work better as you can add and remove heat as needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename067 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 as HH said, less heat. also let the bowl slowly get warmed up and you should be hitting nice clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikemyusername Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 so, i removed last nights foil and to my amazement we barely made a dent in the shisha, some of it was stuck to the foil, i replaced it with new foil and now its smoking nicely but a little tickle in the throat form not enough shishatonight i WILL get it!

staygone Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 OVERPACK THE BOWL!!!!!!! seriously overpack the sheeeit till it cant hold anymore.I had the same experiences as you, this fixed it and made Tangiers the best shisha ever.-QM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voski Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 NO NO NO NO NO!! This is lucid you don't pack it like normal tangiers. Pack it like AF or SB! Lucid is nothing like normal tangiers IMO. I just think no one is reading the part where you said it is lucid passionfruit.goodluck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staygone Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 (edited) I over pack my lucid too, I think it has to do with the tobacco, it still smokes when overpack to sheeit.Whatever works though, i did it like every tobacco known, still smoked best when packed tangier's style.-QM Edited July 12, 2008 by QuiltedMaple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikemyusername Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 smoking nicely now, packedjust like AF, once i peeled that foil off an replaced it, that pulled a little shisha off the top because it was stuck, not its more or less level with the top of the bowl, and its good, THICK smoke and so much flavor, its like its hitting the tip of my tongue and the back of my throat with flavor, damn nice shisha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoop Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 you can pack lucid like starbuzz / af / whatever.i usually pack lucid very fluffy to conserve it since its so valuable to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
