Frankay Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 QUOTE (fineout @ Jun 15 2009, 08:23 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>putting a stem (the sticks that are in the nakhla that arent leaves) makes it so that the foil cant get sucked down and block air. If you have cloud issues try a windcover with 3 coals and take it on and off as needed, if using coconaras make sure to flip them periodically as well. GL!Allright thanks for that Right now i ran out of Coco so i'll order new one.I'll use 3Kings for the moment, that suck =\I'll try to find a windcover here or maybe packing the foil much tighter ...

fineout Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 i use 3k usually, for them on a medium phunnel i would use 3 or 4 halves, and have them at the corners. to break them in half score them across the center with either your tongs or a knife and they break much easier. and dont forget to rotate about pi/4 or pi/6 radians every 3-5 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcane Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 if there's not a lot of smoke then you may have an air leak somewhere....if its a dual hose and no autoseal, make sure you don't pull at the same time and someone has their thumb over the hose when they're not talking a pull....

So can it be the problem ?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 could be...if the pipe has leaks in it, when you pull...you will be pulling in air mixed with your smoke...which results in reduced smoke density...however, i've also noticed it kinda depends on the person too...might just be me, but when my friend pulls (about 5 seconds), he gets ridiculous clouds. when i pull about (about 10 seconds), i get a good sized but no where near his density. not sure why, but i think my lungs or something are maybe absorbing more shit?

I pull very big clouds but since i got the funnel it seems different !i think my hose is scrap too ... its kinda "rusty" ... stupid non-washable KM hose ... Need a new oneSo i'll try that option and see if it can be better with a new hose Edited June 16, 2009 by Frankay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fineout Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 what you should do also is take the bowl off your stem and plug the top with your thumb, then after you plug it try to inhale through the hose. if it bubbles you have an issue and try to find the leak that way.

fineout Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 it might be as simple as the seal of the grommet might not be good enough, and by chance there is a crack in the stem either email the people you bought it from for a refund or fix it with jb weld.

I block the stem, give it a pull and no bubble or somethingEverything's tight.Might be the heat management i do wrong !I will keep praticing !

srawas89 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 In my opinion unless you are using mizo or some relatively wet nakhla I would just use a standard egyptian bowl to smoke nakhla out of. If you need help on the packing method I can give you one that has yet to fail me for the regular nakhla line. Just lemme know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srawas89 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Ah ok. Well the closest I can get to smoking nakhla in a phunnel is in a vortex bowl. Mayb I should try my nakhla in my vortex bowl...never tried it since my Egyptian didn't steer me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
