If I'm mixing Tangiers, I'll pack one side of the phunnel with one flavor, and the other side with another. If there's more than 2 flavors, I split it into sections. With any other shisha, most often times I'll just mix them together either on the lid of a container or on some foil.

i have different methods...it really depends on what you want to do with the flavors.

<b>Method 1 - Complete Mix</b>
How: Stir tobacco throughly to get even flavor dispersion.
Result: 1 mixed flavor, steady and constant throughout bowl.

<b>Method 2 - Fold or Toss</b>
How: Fold or Toss (like a salad) tobacco together. The tobacco should be mixed somewhat, but flavors do not really combine.
Result: You may get a wide array of flavors, depending on what part of the bowl is being heated up. On one pull, Flavor A may be more prominent, the next pull showcases B, and on a 3rd pull they combine to produce a new flavor. Also, the strengths of each flavor during every pull will not always be the same. It makes for an interesting and ever-changing session.

<b>Method 3 - Split Packing</b>
How: Pack "pie slices" of different flavors in your hookah bowl.
Result: A somewhat even mix of both flavors. The flavor still maintain their identity yet combine to give you another flavor. In other words, you know you're smoking half Raspberry + half Mint and can distinguish each flavor separately, but on your palate it results in a somewhat mix of both flavors without really mixing it. I dunno how to explain it, but you may understand if/when you try it.

you can also layer the bowl with one flavor on top of the other....i don't really like that method, but a lot of people use it.

For me, it depends on what flavors im mixing and how strong the flavors are. Usually i put flavors side by side. And If I have a strong flavor like mint, I use less of the mint and more of the other flavor.

Usually I put them in a small bowl and stir it around until I'm satisfied, the flavor ratio will differ depending on the flavors I'm using.
