ruerric Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 so i've bought a few tins of starbuzz.. i love the flavors so far.. my only concern is with the packaging..i understand the air tight method for the tin.. but the plastic wrapping that is used for holding the shisha always gets super slimy..is there any way to extract and pack my hookah bowls without having to get my hands dirty all the time? i can use a set of clean tongs but eventually, the juices start leaking out into the second layer of the wrapping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boricua Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Use a fork.If you don't want to mess with the packaging then open it completely and empty contents into the tin. Proceed to use fork to pack it into bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Click Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Whenever you first buy it put all the shisha into a ziploc bag and double bag it. It will keep it fresh and clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShishaDoctor Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I personally unpack the plastic package into the tins directly. You don't get your fingers dirty, easy access, and the shisha stays just fine. There's no need to keep it in a plastic bag IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cotsi95 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Ya i know because i HATE it when i have to take 5 seconds to run my hands under the sink to clean them off after i pack a bowl...Its just such a hassle!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 LOL @ Costi....that's why one of my rules is that I always set up my hookah by a sink But yeah, I'm probably the biggest and (only) SB fanatic on this forum, definately just discard the plastic and put the shisha right into the tins. They keep the shisha perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUt I do think you comprise 50% of the Sb loving population As far as storing SB just get you some of these plastic tubs and dump the shisha in there when you open it up (be sure to get all of the juices). I find that storing the shisha in the actual tin for long period of time can dry the shisha out (the tin is not air tight). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inino Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 use your hands you will get a better packed bowl than with tongs or a fork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think so... BUt I do think you comprise 50% of the Sb loving population 33.3 I just push all the shisha to the bottom and slice the top of the bag off then ziploc it.25%I had ~15 flavors at one point. Now I'm broke .I also find the flavors taste best when kept in the tin can. I've used mason jars, both glass and plastic, as well as double wrapped bags placed inside the tin. I still think the tin's the best option.I received SB Kiwi Strawberry last 4 days ago, unpacked it and smoked the first bowl. It was not so good, tasted very chemically. I decided to let it "acclimate" (do you do this with SB?); after about 2 hours of being open it was perfect. Also, I got the 250g kiwi strawberry tin on Friday, it was gone yesterday . I smoke too much. Edited April 28, 2009 by karrotx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinamon Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 using your hands is, in my opinion, the best way to pack a bowl properly. its always best to be able to "get a feel" of the packing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likespaceships Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I usually just empty mine in the tin but with the 4 tins I just recently got I put them in a ziplock bag and threw that in the tin. As long as your juice isn't leaking out of whatever you store it in you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freezerburn456 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Storing it in the tins is a good way to keep SB. My bar just dumps the bag into the can and leaves it. We never have any issues with the tobacco drying out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremyk Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 would you use thongs to touch your woman. heck no and shisha is the same way you treat her like a woman and use your hands to handel it so she gives you a good smoke lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
