Epoch Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Just a curiosity: does anyone smoke Tang out of a standard bowl (not phunnel or vortex)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 works fine. I've smoked it in phunnels, Mya standards, Mya larges, traditional egyptian bowls, Pyrex Smiley bowls, and probably a few others. Just pack it fluffy like you would any other shisha and keep the heat especially low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71903DC5 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 It's not bad in a standard bowl at all I prefer my phunnel now though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Eric, creator of Tangiers, suggests packing it tight around the sides and then fluffy in the middle. Gotta remember, Tangiers shisha came before the Tangiers phunnel bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretender85 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 sadly i almost get it to work better in the egyptian than the phunnel some days...though most of that blame lands on the wacky humidity and weather here in northern IL I think..

Genie Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 You guys SO make me wish I had enough Tangiers left for even my smallest Egyptian. I used it all up trying to make it work in a Phunnel! I'll order more when I get my tax refund, and I'm definitely going to try the tight on the outside/fluffy in the middle thing in one of my regular bowls as well as, YES, in the new Alien phunnel I'll also be ordering. I don't care what method I use as long as it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizzbizz Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 To pack Tang in an Egyptian bowl, I stick my thumb in the center and pack tightly around it. Lift my thumb out, put foil on, and smoke it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't do it often since I have a phunnel bowl, but thats what I used to do or when I have a tiny amount of Tang left. Just make sure its acclimated and packed tightly.

Genie Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I don't know why I can't seem to have any success with Tangiers in a regular Phunnel. Maybe I'm Tang Challenged. My Alien should be here at the end of the week though and I have high hopes for it. But I'm going to try this technique as well, and I'll be happy to smoke Tangiers from a smaller bowl because even if I got the Tang going right in my Phunnel, I could never cash the bowl, that's just TOO MUCH for me. I'd love to have a great Tang session out of one of my clays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I smoke Tang I use 4 coconut halves, and that usually gets its going perfectly on the second puff and lasts until the next round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71903DC5 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 My first time with tang was in a standard and I did that thumb trick as well. It worked perfectly for me. Figuring out the heat was the biggest challenge for me. I ended up using 4 halves and that seemed to have the best results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I just have to file this with the rest of the Tangiers Techniques I've been collecting. One person warns you that you should go easy on the heat, another says to use plenty. I figure I'll just keep trying different things until one works consistently. I honestly don't get how you guys manage to pack a large Phunnel and thoroughly bake the whole bowl with flavor through the whole session. Every time I've tried packing the large Phunnel I get completely unsatisfying smoke (not harsh, just not good or flavorful) and when the bowl seems cashed, I look inside and the top is baked but the bottom 2/3rds is still fresh and moist looking. Makes me want to scream. So far, my best Tang sessions have been out of my wide Syrian using a tea light mod so that I could only pack in about 20 grams. It was flavorful and none was wasted. So I'm really looking forward to having the Alien, I feel that's going to work well. But now I'm hopeful about using some in an Egyptian as well. The possibilities! I was looking at my clays this morning, I have several sizes--if I can get it going successfully in them, I'll be able to classify my clays according to how long a session of Tangiers I can smoke in each one!
