frost91 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 So most of you know about my problems with tangiers and it ripping my throat apart. Well i decided to try underpacking a little and did the foil test and got it right this time!BUT, my tangiers tropical punch didnt taste as sweet or as fruity as other AF or starbuzz flavors. It was a decent hawaiinn punch with a little bit of stink to it. kinda tasted like indian hawaiin punch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 i think people really emphasize over packing for tangiers so many tend to pack the shit out if. I know i did for a while.good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know i did for a while.good work.I only for OG, for Lucid it tastes really shitty.Good for you to get it down Now honestly, most Tangiers flavors are TRUE flavors..NOT Candied up flavors. So fruit, tastes like fruit rather then corn syrup..I've actually felt a bit let down till I enjoyed the more "natural" tasting flavor versus some candied syrup crap.Just be aware.As an example, Summer Soltice tastes like a fruit basket..haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonix Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I don't pack lucid like OG at all. Lucid gets packed tight, but not as near as much as OG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Excellent. It sounds like it needs a little more acclimation: Remember, acclimate in the tub you will be storing it in. Try the 4/20 acclimation idea that's circulating around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try the 4/20 acclimation idea that's circulating around.the 4/20 method would be 4 hours open and 20 hours (immediately following the initial 4) of the tobacco in the sealed storage container. even then this could take days - i gave up after 1.5 weeks...

Sonthert Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Well, Antouwan, check in at the acclimation issues thread and we'll parse through it, if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frost91 Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 mmmm thanks for the advice. but other than that the clouds look up to par? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Oh yeah, those are definitely Tangiers clouds. I usually pack my small phunnel so that when I press down on the foil there is only a slight ring visible where the middle hole is. Then I pull the foil tight, poke three rows of tightly spaced holes with a toothpick, throw on one and a half cocos, and proceed to become a zombie blowing huge clouds with awesome flavour.

LIQUIDGSR Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I can't get it to work right in anything but my wood bowl. In my wood bowl i just toss 10g or maybe less and put one coal on top and it smokes great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
