mattarios2 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I was thinking ... I smoke in my basement, and in the summer we have a de-humidifier running down there, would this f up tangiers? Seeing the de-humidifer sucks out the humidity in the basement so throughout the day the humidity is changing constantly, right?What do you guys think?

Im new to this... what is re-acclimating?acclimating is leaving the tobacco jar open and letting it sit out for a few hours for the shisha to become accustomed to the humidity in the air and properties of the air so it smokes better. Usually only tangiers needs to be acclimated. Every hour or so you should stir the tobacco.Re-acclimating would be acclimating again because of a change in the weather that the tobacco is not used to.If there is a sudden change in humidity while you are acclimating you have to re-acclimate it to become used to the current weather.
