Proper Sb Packing?

[Zachfersure]

I've been told that there are different ways to pack different brands of tobacco, but what i mostly do i just mix up the tobacco and just take my tongs and plop some right in the bowl. So i was wondering, how should Starbuzz be packed? also i just ordered a few stuff from Hookah company, including a small tangiers phunnel bowl, and i was wondering how i should pack it differently with a phunnel. Also i want to order some tangiers lucid and have heard its alot different from the others, how do i pack and do i need to acclimate the lucid?

i don't know about the lucid, and i dont use my phunnels enough to know the 'best' way to load them.

i would say, lose the tongs - they're for coals, not handling tobacco. just get the tobacco with your fingers, and break it up and sprinkle it in the head/bowl, try and keep the tobacco nice and fluffy. apply very little pressure to get it to lay below the rim of the head, throw on the foil, poke the holes and give it a little blow(out the bottom of the head), and you should be set to go.
