MechAnt Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 So my smoking buddy and I generally store Tangiers in a Ziploc bag with no real trouble.... if we smoke it within a week or two. Longer than that, we feel that the ziploc bag absorbs or takes away the flavor. It seems that even with lots of juices, Tangiers flavor starts to diminish in these bags. Ziploc containers on the other hand work beautifully.So my recommendation, don't store Tangiers in a Ziploc bagHappy smoking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Yes, Polyethylene bags are quite porous in plastic terms. Polypropylene tubs on the other hand are less so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newjacksm Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) I've noticed this in other shishas. So I've stopped before I started trying tangiers. Edited March 17, 2009 by newjacksm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMoodz Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Good post Mechant. I keep all my Tangiers in Gladware containers and most other shisha in its original container. I typically leave the shisha in the bag it came in originally but then put that in a ziplock baggy to keep it sealed. Interesting indeed...

Tom1 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I Just use ziplock's so I can rebag it and make it airtight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechAnt Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 I would imagine so. Those things dont let anything except light through! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuburbanSmoker Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 i use glass jars, works like a champ and is an easy cleanup afterward. would be my recomendation if you have some handy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaronIV Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 i've noticed that before. I had some tang blueberry in a ziplock and the last bowl i smoked out of it was really low on flavor... but with other shishas i leave them in their normal bags then put that in a zip lock.. wonder if thats effecting them at all.

ilikemyusername Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 what about the bag it comes in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookah hippie Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 A lot of things work for storage as long as its airtight but according to Mechant in a ziploc bag the tobacco can lose flavor I recommend cheap tupperware like that sold at safeway or your local supermarket they are machine washable hold 250grams easily and snap close they are under $1 a piece I stocked up on them when they were buy 2 get 3 free and they come in packs of 4 so it was buy 8 get 12 free no problems with storage. I suppose if you want you can use some for food also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
