Arcane Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 [quote name='Jaffi' date='10 February 2010 - 05:39 AM' timestamp='1265816374' post='450761'] So as a conclusion: You can smoke every tobacco touching the foil, but you have to consider if you pack it loosely or densely, depending on its wetness. Would you say that by your own experiences tobacco touching the foil positively impacts the intensity of the flavour? [/quote] i'd say, not really. eventually, when the bowl heats through...you should get the same results...touching the foil or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Universal Magnetic Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 AF and SB i very slightly pack them in my phunnel and the shisha does not touch the foil, i find its a lot easier to manage the heat this way and still smokes perfect. for JM i pack it a bit more since it can take heat like a champ. nakhla gets packed hard although one thing that should be noted is when you pack it down and put the coals on your bowl, the tobacco will expand slightly and then therefore might touch the foil. with nakhla this is okay in my opinion because it can take the heat. mizo grape imo is a tobacoo that cant touch the foil because of its wetness or else it will taste like dirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Loose, but still in contact with the foil? Would you say that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ih303 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Lol... We're just confusing you now. When it comes to the forum, you will never have a shortage of advice. You just have to read the thread, see what makes the most sense to you, then start experimenting. I think it's safe to say that's the way most of the folks on this forum came to know what they know. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 yep...take the suggestions people make, try them out for yourself and see what works best for you. sometimes, you may end up tweaking a suggestion and have a new method all your own.
