Vampy6997 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I meant more/less how did you get it to "record" not necessarily how a webcam turns on or works, just my comp doesn't recognize my webcam video, so taking pics by going into the start/my computer/digital webcam...it just says it doesn't see it, but it's seen in yahoo/aim/etc....so idk. Anywho..was just wondering how you got it to record. But yeah, decent video, I don't have a phunnel nor any tangiers (yet)....buahahaha... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boulderkid303 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 No need to be a smart ass I just gave an opinion man. I think many methods do work and hey if it works go for it, but I like the method ive had going for 3 years now. And when I do post my video in the next couple weeks im sure you will be the first critic.QUOTE (ilikemyusername @ Jul 17 2009, 07:09 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>I like all videos posted up here, but I wish you would have made a REAL video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scratchy Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 What got up your butt boulder?Jay's packing method works fantastically for him. If it didn't, do you really think he would go through all the trouble of making a video about it? I know for a fact I'm not going to make a Nak packing video because I know my method doesn't work.If you don't agree about his packing method, don' use it.

joytron Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 @boulderJust because something works for you, it doesn't necessarily mean every other method is thereby invalid. Just curious did you even try setting up a bowl using Arcane's method? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HsK BATES Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 omg id love to smack that boulder kid. he sounds like a rich arrogant teenager that needs to get his ass beat.

pinky Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Am I the only person for whom the "push it down with the palm of your hand" technique doesn't work?

It's not like it's solid to where I cant get more in there, it just returns back to the rim of the bowl if I press it down with the fork. Never get bad sessions that way.

Vampy6997 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Boulderkid just needs to go to some speaking/debate classes to realize how to put forth an argument without creating a stir, rich or not. I think then his opinion would seem less harsh and more intelligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems silly that people would get caught up over a video put up to try and help people. Although...I can't remember if I posted in this thread or not so...nice video.

Never get bad sessions that way.I totally disagree with the palm pushing technique too. The problem with pushing it down with the foil is that the stickiness of the tobacco is going to have a few pieces stick onto the foil and burn due to its proximity to the coals. --> Instant harshness that isn't cured by pulling the coals off and letting the bowl cool. Those pieces will sit there and shit on your session the whole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattarios2 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 my techniques all involve shisha directly touching the foil and i get full flavor, huge clouds, and no harshness what so ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*sigh* Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) Had my first real session with tangiers tonight (I say first real session as I had about four hits of a not quite properly prepped bowl of OG Passionfruit and it sat me on my ass), but setup was a small phunnel, mini mya, nammor hose, chronic hookah coals, and Lucid Melon Blend.Came out amazing, best session I've perhaps ever had, definitely since I got back into it (my roomate from a year or two ago had one and we had a few good sessions), all mine in the past few months have been harsh and short lived. Went through 4-5 chronic hookah coals over a 2 hour session (had a lot of life left in the bowl), nice thick smooth smoke from the first hit through all 2 hours, and great flavor as well. Only issue I had was all my holes kept clogging up with ash, but busted out the toothpick again and that took care of everything just fine. Quite frankly.. it got to the point it was almost too good and I was up way later than I would have like (well I'm still up) Must thanks arcane. I am now know why so many people are crazy about tangiers (can't forget to thank you either sonthert for making a great product).

boulderkid303 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 So here is the deal...for all of you calling me idiots and what not. I just posted and said hey whatever works for you works...yet im still being treated like a fucking idiot. Also if you have a problem take it up with Eric I go step BY step of how he showed me to load a bowl and it was exactly the same as ive been doing for a fair amount of time. People on this forum are immature and need to grow up. Instead of you thinking im trying to be an ass, just realize im trying to help you out. I am NOT trying to be an ass in any way shape or form, but if you guys think that go ahead and have at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boulderkid303 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 And also the simple fact you say it tickles your throat shows you know nothing of how to pack a correct bowl FYI. That burn=to little baccy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) from the Wiki:Tobacco Amount ScaleOn a 0-10 scale, ten being way too much tobacco, 0 being way too little, 5 being a perfect amount, this is what you can expect: 6. Perfect! Smoke is smooth, a very slight twinge from the nicotine, perhaps, depending on flavor.================================================================================Almost Perfect, Slightly HarshProblem: Lots of smoke, slightly harsh or a tickle in the back of your throat.Solutions: 1. Smoke should smooth out within 5-10 minutes. 2. If it's very slight, this is simply a quirk of Tangiers. It's something you need to get used to that goes away after about a week. If it's too much for you to deal with, you can try mixing it with a more standard tobacco, slowly moving towards Tangiers.

That burn=to little baccy.and the "tickle" went away after a couple minutes.... sorry to rain on your parade....looks like i know "something" after all...and you might as well accept the fact that my way works for me...and apparently, it works for other people too. your knowledge isn't the be all-end all of Tangiers. so, basically stating that "i know nothing of how to pack a correct bowl" is ignorant. you act like you're all high and mighty and that anything that differs from "your way" is incorrect. well, i think its time for you to wake up and realize that there is not just one way to pack and smoke Tangiers...as soon as you figure that out, maybe people will stop getting on your case.
