Arcane Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) I usually keep my tangiers 250g in the long rectangle ziploc containers...that why, I can acclimate in the tub. I just pour the shisha in, stir like crazy, spread it out and let it sit. it's one less step than acclimating on foil, then having to put it back into a container...yep, i'm lazy like that.But, yeah...Lock and Locks are good. They're decently priced at the E-Mart, especially when the Won rate is low. When the exchange rate is $1 to 1400 Won, I'm going to buy a crapload of Lock and Locks Edited April 1, 2009 by arcane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. B Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 For tangiers I use the 3 cup rubbermaid contrainers with large surface area - it makes acclimation and juice retention easier. They're like 2.38 a pop tho, probly not the best deal. For Nak I use ziplock 4 cup tubs - perfect size for 250g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchard Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 $2.50 for three tubs. They are small and stack nicely. A 250g pack fits perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 since GNR already decided on his container...i'm going to threadjack like i usually do.is there a preference on container size for the tangiers smokers? myself, i like the Ziploc Large Rectangles. A 250g of Tangiers barely fills 1/5 of the container so there's plenty of room to spread the shisha around for acclimation. It also makes it easy to run a phunnel through the tobacco when packing.But, I noticed people using smaller containers, just enough to fit 250-500g of shisha. Is this just to save space?Thanks, and sorry for the threadjack GNR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voski Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Glad has long tubs that can hold a little over 500g of tangiers. You can get 6 for 5 bucks. They don't have rubber air tightness but they are still tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnaby Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I use the locknlocks as well for my 250's of tangiers. I ahve some mason jars as well, but I have to break up a 250 amongst two of them (think they're pint sized) so I can still stir well.. so, if I go over a kilo, then I use my mason jars, but I typically only keep a kilo on stock or so.. I only smoke on the weekends, so I don't need to keep as much as some of you fiends.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
