Tangiers Packing Video!


Recommended Posts

Just posted my Tangiers Packing video to Youtube--I'm hoping this will get some people some good results from Tangiers and give them another technique to try out.

I made a different thread so that this could be easily found using the search function, not just to get more posts. wink.gif

If you have any questions, ask me and I'll try and answer them. The smoking video will be posted later but I've got to prepare it and upload it.

Good luck guys and let me know what you think! smile.gif

Here it is! (version 2.0)

Thanks!

For Tangiers, yeah I do. I've heard that's a common theme in smoking Tangiers and it seems to work. I'll get the smoking video up but I got distracted taking pics so I'll start that upload now. haha

Great videos. Appreciate it. One thing I noticed was that it was kinda hard to see how much tobacco you used because the color kinda blended in with your shirt (although the close-ups of the bowl made it easier). Also: what hose were you using?

Yeah, the shirt thing I realized while I was making the vid. I am going to try and do a packing 2.0 video later tonight (I have NOTHING to do for like 2 days haha) while wearing a white shirt and using some hanging car lights I have in my garage.

Thanks for the comments!

Also, it's a KM AS Hose found here. No joke, the best hose I have ever used. It's incredibly wide and has spoiled me for any other hose. It's not washable but it doesn't hold onto flavors very well so it's great.

I've a question. Why do you put so much shisha in phunnel bowl?
What is difference between Tangiers and usual shisha?
I always leave some place between shisha and foil. It takes about 2 mm between them.
If you put coals on foil and they touch shisha, your smoking getting very strong. Edited by sitysmoking

I think thats a common misconception. And if you read around a little, just about everybody use a lot of shisha for their tangiers smoke, even the guy who's president of the company recommends it. I used to follow the "a little space between the foil and the shisha"-rule, but after I read up on different packing techniques and started using more shisha and less heat my results has been much better.

I think you might have just resparked my hope for tangiers.. Lol as many know I have posted like 3 threads about how I suck at tangiers, but since you and I both live in florida and you have shown the way the master does it. I might just have to give it another go lol.

Go for it! Just pick up a 250g of something and try it out.

My roommates would say, "Stop wasting money on that stuff! It's too hit or miss!" Well...I proved them wrong. wink.gif But I am almost out of OG Tangiers so I'm kind of forced to smoke some of my other stash.

Well I have OG BGB and Static Starlight, and I have lucid Bramble Berry. My BGB never really smelled right even after letting it acclimate for a day or two so maybe ill try this with the bramble berry.

Wait, so is it really okay that the coals touch the tobacco? I've never packed tangiers this much, and I have very little experience with it. Still waiting for a good tangiers session. I'll try this, thanks! (in other words, should the coals be scorching the top layer of shisha, making a crackling sort of noise when they are placed on the bowl?)

3 Cocos? That looks wonderful, I'll try your method tommorow, the way I've been packing I get thing smoke but good flavor, so I'm gonna try your way.

I hope I can get it going as well as you, that looks awesome.

and you packed the same way ColibriDon did? same holes?

although, it is weird that i notice people can pack roughly the same way and use the same coals, but get different results. i use 3 CH QLs(4 CH QLs w/ nakhla) on my small phunnel or sometimes go 4 canarys. most of the time, its good...occasionally, i'll get a harsh pull but i move a coal or two towards the perimeter and it evens out.

to the OP: great vid...i actually use that method when i'm not lazy biggrin.gif
