How Many Bowls In Tangiers 250G?

[dune024]

How many bowls do you guys think is average using a small phunnel and tangiers og from ONE 250g package??

How about same thing for tangiers lucid? Lucid doesn't have to be packed nearly as tight, although still tight, so it should be more.

If your packing it right and not being cheap it will be around 60 grams a bowl, meaning around 6 bowls per 250G. Same with lucid tho they should both b packed the same

That's about right, but also remember that you can usually reuse phunnels, so each bowl can equal more than you'd get with other brands. Assuming you use each packed phunnel twice you'd get the equivalent of 12 packed bowls which comes down to about 25-30 grams per smoke. About average using a regular Egyptian and some substandard brand. And that's not even calculating in the wetness of Tangiers which makies every session last longer than drier brands. To accurately calculate cost versus actual expense, I think we'd have to break it down into actual smoking time per gram as compared to other brands.

yep...when people are confused about if they're underpacking or not, i ask them how many small phunnel bowls they get out of their package....if it's more than 6, they're usually underpacking...

on that same idea though, because tangiers is so wet it weighs more than a less wet brand like nakhla. if you packed nakhla the same way as tangiers you would get more bowls out of it because more tobacco is there

edit: i dont smoke tang, so im not sure how dense you have to pack it. but i routinely get 3-4 hours off of a med phunnel with nakhla in it..and probably get 7-8 bowls out of a 250g of nakhla (though its hard to tell because i like to mix flavors) Edited December 21, 2009 by K1024

60g in a small bowl? None of my small phunnels can physically hold that much. My largest small is 2-3/4" OD and holds an average of 40g when packed with Tangiers. I should also mention that I have a tendency to overpack slightly.

I would calculate the smoking time per gramm to 2-3 times more than other brands. A small phunnel with whatever would last 2-3 hours where Tangiers lasts 4-6 hours.

um...you do know that 6x60≠250 right? like, not even close.


my second brand of choice next to tangiers is layalina. There is actually more tobacco in a 250 of tangiers than there is in a 250 of layalina. layalina loads the juices on. Even though I love me some layalina blueberry or raspberry, i like tangiers more. layalina is nice and cheap and smokes great, but tangiers just has that *something special* that no other brand can touch. i find tangiers to have a more mature flavor.

as far as how many bowls off a 250, its hard to tell. I usually pack a bowl, smoke it, then when im ready for the next one, i just take of the top layer and replace it.

And might I say good sir, it is a very good method indeed. I used it for my Tangiers Noir blueberry and it worked perfectly. Really saves on the shisha. Thanks for telling me about it, Tyler.

[antouwan]

amount of bowls is inaccurate. i would say it can do about 6 to 7 small phunnels. that being said, each head could go for almost 3 hours each. so you're looking at around 20 hrs of smoke time.

[hookah hippie]

its somewhere between 5-7 but they last awhile

going to make my post sweet and short...
average small phunnel will hold 35-50 grams, giving 5-7 bowls

Wetter, maybe, but the tobacco aspect of tangiers is significantly less dense than other brands making 250g seem like much more than say, 250g of nakhla...

[Sonthert]

I would guess about 7-8 smalls of regular Tangiers, 6-7 of Lucid.

Its a good question because you can gauge how much tobacco you should be putting in there.

[jeremyk]

i feel like a get more than 7-8 bowls in my small maybe im under packing it though

[Arcane]

you two must have nicely sized smalls....2 of the 4 i have are ginourmous....

Have you ever smoked Tangiers? Tangiers has as low a moisture content as a hookah tobacco can have. Its the least dense (from low moisture content) hookah tobacco on the market that I know of.
