Tangiers Issue...

[withoutink]

Ok so today is my birthday. I figured pack a nice phunnel of tangiers and chill outside hor a bit. This is the second time smoking tangiers spearmint. Actually the second time I have ever smoked tangiers.

I'm still using my buddies HoboHookah and phunnel.

Well, this stuff keeps hitting the back of my throat and makes me cough. What the heck am I doing wrong.

I have two af coco nats on the outer edge of the bowl opposite sides. I've been rotating them around a bit. Still this stuff seems pretty harsh. I'm not certain if this is lucid or reg. WTF am I doing wrong.

As most of you know I've only started exploring hookah this week. So total newb still. My al waha doesn't seem to cause this, so I'm thinking I gotta be doing something wrong with the tangiers.

Help! ;-)

You need more packing and potentially less or more heat.

Ambiguous?

PACK it more, pack it incredibly tight to the RIM. Then give it a whirl.

I tend to use the equiv of 3 of your coals, or 4 small squares on the outside edge slowly moving it in as I need more smoke.

Also, try LESS heat with the more packing, but it all comes down to packing.

WARM WATER tends to work best with Tangiers.

I always pack it really tight... and use 3 half coals in a triangle shape on the outside of the bowl.. turn them so they are "pointing" toward the center

[mushrat]

in a phunnel you pack it in tight, make sure it is to the rim of the bowl so there is a little space between the foil and the top of the center hole. You are using too much heat. Period.

pretty much what others have said... pack more.
