antouwan Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 i had a nice bowl of tangiers grape the other night (it had been acclimating for the past 2 or 3 months aka it was good to go). i used the 'scoop' method of basically just dunking the head in the tub of tobacco and then getting a fork and sorting it all out. there was a slight tickle for the first ehh maybe ten minutes and then after that there were ridiculous clouds (i forgot how big the tang clouds were) . anyway, i figured that i could avoid those few minutes of harshness buy packing the bowl, putting the foil, poking the holes and letting it sit for half and hour or an hour or so. am i right?also, i lit the same bowl up last night with canary japs (two consecutive nights) but last night there was practically no flavor (the first night the flavor was great). wtf?

ryno Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I'm not sure if acclimating it in the bowl helps much, but if I know I'm gonna smoke I usually let mine acclimate about a half hour before hand. Many times I smoke a bowl one night, maybe a set or two of coals, then smoke it in the morning, and the morning session always seems alot better. And sometimes that morning there is no flavor like you described. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowspeedchase Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 The man himself recommended acclimating it in its bowl... I do this and have had superb results with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjdx88 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Ring, order it its worth it!I have acclimated mine in a glad ware container. Just every few hours stir it till it smells like the flavor. Most of the time this is needed over night. Some of the bags I got recently didnt even need it. This is OG btw. Just pack the shit out of it in your bowl and it will smoke fine. I have had two bad sessions. They happened to be recently, my first five or so were great. Not the best it could have been but good. Worth it enough to order almost 5 Kilo of the stuff. All i smoke now is Tang, AF, and Nak. If i get my hands on some Fant or SB i'll smoke it but I wont buy it. Out of all 3 Tang is your best bang for the buck. -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I would think it'll acclimate faster spread out on its foil home for the evening, but that's messier, especially if its warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingsMaster Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 well my roomate decided that he couldnt afford the tang, boo, cause i really wanted it and we go half on everything hookah related. so we bought some AF for $9 for a 250g tub, got 3 for now, after that im going to get some OG. really really looking forward to getting it, want to try it so bad this AF is going to take too long to finish lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
