tranoid no ki Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Okay, from various sources on here it seems as if there are different laws and techniques for packing. Now I can understand if using an egyptian or something, that one should not pack the shisha down too hard, which makes sense, considering it being packed too tight = restricted airflow. However, does the same apply to a phunnel? I can see why that is, considering you need the heat to reach down into the bottom of the bowl, but at the same time, you can get more shisha. Is this a personal preference or is there a standard consensus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 from my experience bowl has no decision on how i pack the shisha, the only thing that matters is what brand im smoking because some like to be sprinkled in there and some like to be packed tight..

gaia.plateau Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) I thought I would reply in rhyme this time.To pack is a thing difficult to explain, for each bowl is built just to its smoker's taste. For she who has aims of plentiful flavour, a tighter packed bowl is better to savour. But- for he who would seek more girthful clouds, a bowl that is loose is all that's allowed. Though preference demands more foil, fingers and hands, there still is much more for you to understand.Each bowl type has needs, and we gurus've agreed, each shisha is surely different indeed. For unwashed to pack, like Tangy or Nak, be sure to impress rather strongly,But for washed and wetter, like Lay'lina or Fak'er, to do this would be oh-so-wrongly. The lesson to learn, so no shisha will burn, is which and when to do in turn.For your question of phunnel, allow me to tunnel, into vast forum knowledge eternal. The trick: to press deep in the round shisha heap with a widish device in your keeping,To penetrate through to the bowl's bottom true, do this and you ne'er will be weeping.Be sure to swish 'round on the bowl's bottom ground with your chosen implement of poking,For from ma'assal tightly packed you can only extract goodish clouds if the bottom is smoking.- gaia.plateau, 2009 Edited October 5, 2009 by gaia.plateau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
