Zyram Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I can't for the life of me get tangiers to smoke well from my jet glass funnel! Has anyone had success with it? I get juice coming down the stem like a flood =( All that lost flavor makes me sad. I'm most certain it's got something to do with my packing, do you pack tangiers less densely in a jet funnel? I packed it pretty tight, the draw is a little tough and like I said, juice goes down the stem, but I also tried packing lighter and got almost no smoke at all. Any help would be great guys, my brain just is stuck about this glass bowl.-Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zyram Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 more than 50 views and no ideas? =( I'll keep trying different stuff, just was wondering if anyone had a setup that worked for this bowl and tangiers. Still will be checking back for ideas, thanks guys-Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixPackSunday Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 i have a jet glass and pack tight... pretty tight actually.. after a recent chat wiht eric he told me he thought people were still UNDERpacking by a solid 10% for the most part. i also use a glass screen.. 3 coals to heat it, then 2 to smoke it. hope that helps...

ryno Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 You're not by any chance using the scalli mod for it are you? Scallis and tangiers tend to give alot of problems. If not, smoke it out of an egyptian head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about your jet glass bowls but the sides are signifigantly higher than the sides of the hole on mine. Underpack and just pack it tight? Or still fill to the rim?thanks for all the help guys. I REALLY want my jet glass to work so I can use it more often.-Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just how tightly packed is tightly packed? Maybe I'm over-stuffing it. I can get great smoke from tangiers from my normal funnel bowl, but this one... I have this juice problem with any wet shisha and my jet glass bowl. Fantasia and potion also did this, but I got lots of smoke and flavor from them. With the tangiers it's thin smoke, no flavor, and it seems like WAY more than avg juice going down the stem.Thanks for the hints guys I'm trying to work out this problem!-Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you pack tangiers tight, you will get a very tight draw. Just don't use the scalli mod and you will be fine.You will get some of the juices running down the stem because the inner stem on the Jet Glass sits so low. This is why for Tangiers I stick with my Tangiers Small Funnel Bowl. I use the Jet Glass for everything else pretty much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixPackSunday Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 yea, problem is in the scalli... if your not using a scalli it doesnt matter how you pack it at all, because your not affecting the air flow. also i pack mine tight at an angle. so all the shisha is angled from the top of the rim down towards the inner hole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookah hippie Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I am not sure if your bowl is like this but the center of my funnel sits extremely low making it so I can't really smoke tangiers w/o all the juices flowing down it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 works better for me in a regular tangiers phunnel. i have basically retired the glass phunnel because of what you discussed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zyram Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 Ok guys, thanks for the input. I'll use the Jet glass for other shisha, and save tangiers for my funnel. I appreciate it, and I'm glad to see some of you guys had the same problems I did so I don't feel like such a goober, been smoking for almost a year now and I have most things pretty well figured out. again, thanks all.-Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
