boulderkid303 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Go all the way down with the fork should be the first lesson. 2nd that is way to little in the bowl. 3rd it should not have to warm up. By the 4th hit I get huge clouds always. I'm going to post a real video soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the 4th hit I get huge clouds always. I'm going to post a real video soon enough.1. every bodies packing method is different. some things work for some ppl while they fail miserably for others. 2nd you dont have to over pack a phunnel i quite often load half bowls or even 1/4th bowls in mine and i can get great clouds. 3rd yes it has to warm up its the heat that makes the smoke. by the 4th hit? damn what a waste of hit 1 2 and 3 i get big clouds on the first hit. there is nothing wrong with Arcanes packing tech it works for him and it works fo manny manny others on this forum.go make your video and lets see how you do it. great vid by the way Arcane.

Arcane know's his Tangiers. If he can get it to smoke good his way then he must be doing something right. Thanks again arcane, sadly I ran out of Tangiers to try this method out haha..

Chaz1337 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Great Packing Video Arcane! You have personally answered a couple of my questions in chat and I thank you for that! Also the concept of density vs. volume of shisha had never struck me before! I have ALWAYS loaded my Tangiers to overflowing but I am for sure going to try out your packing method next time I smoke! Thanks again for your on going support of newer smokers here on Hookahfoum and keep up the good work!Also just a side question dont mean to thread jack but is this also how you pack your Nak or do you use a different method?

But this works for Arcane so there's no need to critique HIM. Only people who can't get a bowl of Tangiers ripping. He has helped me with his advice and so on just as much as Eric has himself. Different methods, different people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SloppyJoe Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Great vid Jay. Everything you said was correct and I can back you up on what both Eric and Evilded777 have to say about density. If people want to pack more that's fine...they will. If you pack a large phunnel full and don't smoke all it's worth...I think you can safely say it's a waste. Arcane's half way pack technique is probably a good shisha saver. Eric says a large phunnel full of Tangiers will last a good 12 hours or more? You may not smoke all that. Just a thought..I'm definitely not a pro with this stuff...just saying. Thanks again Jay! (oh and next time don't put crappy lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
