the_cool Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 The hookahjohn method of packing nakhla is AMAZINGLY good!Iv had some old 50g boxes of nahkla DA which i could never smoke right, it was always harsh and not much flavour. Packed it tangiers style in a small phunnel, used most of the 50g in it, put 3 cocochas on that bad boy and its smoking THICK and with lots of flavour! A lil stong but not harsh at all!Highly reccomended method! Props to you hookahjohn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_cool Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 Cheers for that, I don't usually post stuff like this but I thought hey I might as well thank the guy for his method and get others to try it out. Without trying to sound rude, but if you don't have anything constructive to say you really shouldn't post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Ninja Robot Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Yes indeed, Mattarios turned me onto packing Nak tighter than usual and I've been doing it since. Not QUITE as tight as Tangiers though I've found that can give harsh results, in between loose and Tangiers is the perfect spot for me.Thanks Mattar and John!On a similar note, DON'T pack Mizo this way it gets way harsh in my experiences.

the_cool Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 The only thing I don't like it the amount of tobacco it uses! I don't with these old 50g boxes I have but if I was to order some from the US, it feels to expensive to be doing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it came off very sarcastic!Yeh even I thought it was crap, I used to smoke it a long time ago which was good and since i always thought the quality had gone down (partly due to me never getting my hands on some fresh stock). I was shocked to learn its unwashed, Iv never got buzzed off it and Im not as im smoking it. And all I smoke is AF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikemyusername Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 good.j/k.yeah, i'm personally not a big fan of DA, i used to smoke it a few years back, then one day i just dreaded it, haven't had it since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_cool Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 Oooo i LOVE me some DA! especially AF's which I know isn't loved by much here. I think the trick to it, is to get a non washable hose and smoke DA exclusively with it. It retains all the flavour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilded777 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Where'd you come across this method?Sounds like maybe what I do, which I kinda just wung it after reading around. Thing is, I pack tight, but don't necessarily use all that much shisha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erufiku Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 As for the baccy usage... look at it this way: you'll probably get more than 5 hours of smoke out of that phunnel. I get 5-7 hours out of my medium phunnel with Nakhla, so packing it with 50g doesn't really end up wasting any shisha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_cool Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjQ33LXMh6A that's the video5 hours! Well when I smoke AF I will only smoke 1 round of coals (2 coco coals) and that's it. If ever I put another round on it after its cooled it will never taste as good. When I'm done with this session, Im pretty sure it will be blackened to a crisp. I could never smoke for more than 2 hours tops and that's pushing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattarios2 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Well the way i see it is, nakhla ... unlike any other brand ... the juices don't drip, because there isn't much and when there is a lot, it still barely drips. So i just pack reasonably tight, in my egyptian, i use about 15-18 grams and i can smoke it for about 1.5 hours. I use very little shisha, smoke for a damn long time, get awesome smoke and flavor, and no need for a massive phunnel. Nakhla = win win winand yes gnr, with mizo, just do the sprinkle method until it is like 1/8 inch over the top of the bowl, then use your palm to pack it down, so it is somewhat dense but still somewhat loosely packed, and mizo is amazing!

Sonthert Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I've been saying to pack Nahkla like Tangiers for years...nobody listens to me! I've noticed that acceptance of Nahkla has been going up since I first suggested it though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no longer welcome Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 i have to give credit where credit is due. eric from tangiers showed me how he packs his tangiers and he also sadi that nakhla is a really good brand so i just copied that to nakhla to see if it works and there you go. thanks eric! in fact i am currently doing that atm with nakhla banana and cherry mixed, it's great.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newjacksm Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I bought cola and the smoke isn't thick at all the taste isn't near what I thought it would be and it burns very easily I was pretty excited to try this flavor.. all other nakhla I get pretty smoking well Manderin, Mizo line.. Now that I think about it I had this problem with mango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srawas89 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I noticed how in the video hookahjohn uses a phunnel...would you use the same packing method for an Egyptian or mod bowl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
