Jacob Shock Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 (edited) Vortex bowl!, im super serious. works better than an egyption and a phunnel IMO. i didnt just set it in there fluffy like, nor did i pack it like tangiers. so it was in between loose and tight. but by golly it worked amazing. it smoked like a phunnel (heat was esier to manage, and smoke was thicker). and it didnt have the problems of the phunnel. i didnt have to pack super tight so the foil goes over the hole, and i didnt have hove to poke holes over the hole eithor (witch reduces smoke thickness slighly. how did i discover this you ask........................ ahh i lost my phunnel. seriouly try this if you own a vortex, or i wont love you anymore but only the part about not loving you anymore.

LZ22 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Ill defend the vortex, being an owner myself. I take pinches of nakhla and stuff it in the vortex, then use a fork to smash it down. Then use my palm to squish it so its just slightly below the top of the bowl. I pack it fairly tight. A little tighter than how it comes packaged in a jar I'd say. Use a toothpick to poke a ring around the very outside, then make a second ring where you push the toothpick all the way to the bottom of the hole for airflow. Then a third one right by the middle spire. 3 full coco's on top. This will give you huge clouds on pull #1. Flavor last the whole session. After the first round of coals, I'll use less heat on the second round. I feel as though I've perfected nakhla and a vortex because I don't even own a phunnel (actually just ordered one to see what all the fuss is about). Vortex bowls work I tell ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remy Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I think Jacob Shock just got mad because INCUBUSRATM referred to that method of packing as "Mattarios2's packing and coal method". Although I'm not sure why that would make him upset, thats the only reason I can think of for him saying something like "yea, but i didnt know he owned that method" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattarios2 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 And that would make sense because Nakhla prefers a tighter pack which the phunnel bowl allows you to do, even though nak will smoke pretty well almost any way you set it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
