momatik Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I don't smoke tangiers, but the only advice I could give you is maybe you need to let it acclimate more. Some dudes will let it sit for an entire day. And did you stir it before you put it in the bowl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it is covering the entire hole in the middle as well as overflowing out of the bowl. Then just take a fork and slowly take out bits of shisha all the way around the bowl until it sits right up to the edge. That way the tangiers sits in the bowl as it sits in the container, it isn't too tightly packed, and it is good 2 go .Hope this helps.Oh and btw snoopy, this is what I have been doing since I had trouble last and reported my probs to you and it works like a charm. It's sort of like the scoop method but changed slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do not want to pack Tangiers to tight, and Orange Soda can leave a tickle in my throat also when the coals start to die down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 weeeerd, also sometimes the first 3-4 pulls have a tickle but then it goes away for the rest of the session. Just gotta give the shisha some time to get up to temp etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookah hippie Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 check out Tangiers wiki there are a few videos on how to pack tangiers successfully Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tecnorobo Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 For every tangiers bashin thread there is, I should post a I love tangiers thread.I am saddened to hear of your ill experiences though.Keep experimenting. Re-watch the videos. Once you get tangiers smoking correctly, you'll be a happy camper. You'll also be happy that you went through the number of bad bowls you did to get there.
