Eygyption Bowl Question

[Anxiety]

alright so ive been using a phunnel bowl for a while but ive decided to use the standard egyption bowl to save some tobbaco. i switch between coco's / exoticas. how many coals do you guys ussualy use on it? i saw some vids of people doing like 3 exoticas on it and it hought that would be over kill when i do 2 i get pretty good smoke but some harshness so i dnt get how people can do 3 what would you guys say your setup is?

tangiers?

I take a exotica, about an inch or an inch and a half, break it into smaller pieces and use that on a traditional bowl.

No need for me to break exoticas cause right as I go to pick them up they break into a hundred pieces!

nah not tangiers, af/starbuzz is what ive been working with. i break exoticas into 4 even peices and only use 2 of them

shisha is like cooking, use your chef intuition. harsh = less heat needed, anytime before it turns harsh, you can use more and more heat as it brings out more flavor.

I tend to break the finger coals into smaller pieces. It's kind of a bitch to light 4 small pieces instead of just two bigger ones, but makes heat management a lot easier. Although this is only an issue w/Tangiers for me... AF can take the heat.

As for your question, when I smoke Nakhla from my large/shallow-ish unglazed egyptian bowl, I'll usually use half a finger broken in three pieces, sometimes I light up four of those pieces to get the bowl going. Other baccy smokes better in a MYA bowl, so I use no more than three pieces (1 piece = 1/6 finger) at a time

With AF I usually use either 2 cocos or a third and a quarter of an Exotica. Windercover after about a half hour

I really must have gotten a good batch because I have been having nothing but great results with exoticas none of them have crumbled in my hands while breaking.

I'm just trying to smoke through these stargate coals right now, faster the better.

On an Egyptian bowl with AF, I use 2 1/3s of an exotica stick for juicy tobaccos. Or, if that's too much, 2 1/4s.

I suggest using one piece at a time..broken up. Try it.

As for the shattering Exoticas, ya..my last few boxes are getting less dense every time...

Not sure where they are going to go from here but i have a bad feeling.

For AF i always use 2 coco naras and i easily get close to a 1.5 hr smoke sess with it running perfect.
