[/quote] Agreed. A little smoke in the beginning is normal since you're burning off a bit of the juice that has accumulated on the foil. But 9/10 times I see smoke coming from a bowl at the lounge, it's burning hot. I'd say a general rule of thumb is, if you see few wisps coming out after you release from pulling, it's just stem smoke kick back - no problem. But if you see smoke steadily rising from the bowl, pull a coal or three because it is burning and you [b]will[/b] eventually taste it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NimbleCow Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Also when I move coals around the bowl, sometimes I see a bit of smoke which I figure is too much heat if it's significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boludo Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 You may be burning it a little to much, but it is not the end of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I only notice it on super wet tobacco when I see it on mine. Pretty sure it's the residue of juice on the foil after I am done packing. But most of the time even then I rarely notice it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webbles Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I normally see a very slight plume of smoke that comes from my bowl. Usually right as i put the coal on a new bowl. And just as Stuie mentioned, its usually the burning off of the extra juices on the foil. Its natural. Regardless if im smoking tangiers or Nakhla.

xruggiox Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 but in my case there is not juice on the foil coz as u can c i m uscing a metal screen which is completely clean...so i dunno... :/ plus...if the problem is too much heat,if i take off one coal i dont get much clouds..

PSU Smoker Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 does it come off constantly? or just after you finish taking a pull? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSU Smoker Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 (edited) hmmm interesting...not really sure what to tell ya Edited March 1, 2010 by PSU Smoker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xruggiox Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 maybe it s coz i use the metal screen and there the holes re bigger than normal foil so the smoke is able to come out???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingsMaster Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 i get some smoke to come off right after a full even with metal screans but it shouldn't constantly be coming off, try cutting the coals in half and using 4 halves on that bowl and tell us how it fairs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
