sss8789 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 so this is my second bowl of tangiers and I need help, the smoke dries out the back of my throat and it kinda stings, it doesnt feel harsh just like I have a cotton ball in the back of my throat, any advice?

smidge Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 what is your setup? and how did you pack your bowl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flick92 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Tangierz is a stronger smoke in the first place but the setup and aclimating the tobacco is important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santino Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 That is probably attributed to one of two reasons;First, acclimate your tobacco, basically expose it to your surrounding oxygen to let it settle to the local climate.Second, make sure you're using enough tobacco, too little could result in a very harsh, throat burning smoke.

sss8789 Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 I know about acclimating it and I did for several hours, I am using a funnel, and I am packing it quite full, I used 1/4 of an exotica coal then I put another fourth on it became harsh but with only one coal th smoke is kinda thin and flavorless. I've heard that tangiers if very flavorful and smooth and I have read many different posts explainig how to pack a bowl, but can someone post a picture on how full the bowl should be?

jezter6 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 do a search for snoopy's video and the noob tangiers packing method. both have good visual indicators - although I still haven't gotten it right myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdl Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 You're packing it 'quite full'? Take a photo of a packed bowl, chances are you need to pack in a little more tobacco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NarghileNights Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 as Eric would say.. harsh thin light smoke is a huge sign you are not putting enough tobacco in the bowl.. when you hear "pack" tangiers.. it actually means really pack it in there!

hookah hippie Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 when in doubt put more tobacco in that bowl make it seem like there is no way you can put more tobacco in the bowl then you should be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog_916 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 What flavor are you working with? I find that I get the cottonmouth thing with Peach Iced Tea because in general, tea flavoring dries my throat. I keep water or iced tea around with me when I smoke as to keep my mouth watered. Like they said, pack it in there like you mean it. Use less heat than you would for standard shisha. You'll nail it, it just takes time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
