ShellyBird87 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I found a hookah bar here in Az where I live that smoke Tangiers..... I have not had this brand, as I am only three weeks into smoking and have only had Fantasia... (which I like what I have smoked), but every one seems to rave about Tangiers I will be going tonight, any differences that I should be warned about between the two types?

Lucy Ford Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 everyone will probably list a million things when they see this but basically Tangiers is unwashed and has a much MUCH heavier buzz than fantasia because, well, fantasia doesn't have a buzz. It just might be harder for you to smoke depending on the amount of smoking you do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShellyBird87 Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 Well since I have gotten my hookah, I have smoked almost everyday. :\...... Like one 30 to 45 minute session. I don't smoke cigarettes or anything else, so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellz Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I guess the buzz is the main thing, I've not gotten a buzz yet. But that's just me. Since it's at a lounge and not at home there isnt really anything you need to worry about otherwise. I suppose have something to drink handy. That's been heavily recommended.

cotsi95 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Hope that they know how to load a decent bowl...youd be surprised. If it smokes well you should ask them if the can teach you to lead a bowl that way when you made the switch (oh it will happen trust me) you have some first hand experience in it already. Other then that the buzz will destroy you! 1 30 min session a day will not make you not get a buzz lol tangiers will smoke for hours on end. I only smoked my small last night for like 6 hours and it was still ready to rock and roll for another 4+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyCallMeDave Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 The biggest difference for me you'll notice is quality difference. This stuff is gonna rock your socks off. It's like smoking for the first time again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShellyBird87 Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 We got horchata, its an okay flavor. Definitely a much stronger buzz though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flavor was just not good to me, I didn't get much of a cinnamon or anything really. It was unenjoyable to me so we left the session early, after about two hours. :-/ I will keep researching and trying to find someone in Arizona that has a good lounge with Tangiers. So far I choose Fantasia brand over Tangiers, and according to a lot, that should be the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 sounds liek it was too hot or unacclimated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Yeah, I agree with Mush. Instead of looking for a new lounge that has Tangiers (which chances are you won't), you'd be better off just buying Tangiers, learning how to pack it and such, and enjoy way better smokes in the comfort of your home. For less money than a lounge, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShellyBird87 Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 Well I did end up buying 250g of cane mint a small funnel and my hubby got 50g of that one breakfast cereal. I asked him to show me how to pack it(as someone had suggested), However, his way is COMPLETELY different from any other video I have seen on youtube.

ShellyBird87 Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 Also though, I am scared too. There was another person ( a non Tangiers smoker, but has smoked it a lot previously), who told me that if it is underpacked, not hot enough heat, or too hot your first drag will literally make you throw up. ;/ that makes me nervous.

I have an egyptian bowl that I smoke out of that only holds like 10-15g and that is enough for one session for me. So I bought one that looks like the [b]Alien[/b] Mini Funnel. I will post a picture of it tomorrow, as I do not know if it is or not. Edited September 6, 2011 by Chreees Mentioned Banned Vendor, changed to bowl's name.

Chreees Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I edited your last post, Shelley. Mentioned a banned vendor. Please brush up on the Banned Vendors list. Thanks. I agree with Wade. Bowl was completely underpacked. That guy has no idea what he's doing. Here's how you properly pack a bowl of Tangiers: http://www.hookahforum.com/topic/40379-how-to-smoke-tangiers/ Focus mainly on the steps at the end of my first post. First thing is you're going to just have to open yourself to getting a Tangiers phunnel. Or a Crown Micro Phunnel at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just another spammer Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 if you are a new hookah smoker as i am, i suggest you'll search the Dr.Hookah blog, he has some good tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king_lunchb0x Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 you can get pretty good smoke out of a alien phunnel. Best way i do it is little overpacking of the bowl. Maybe try some lucid? Easier to acclimate and most of the time handles little more heat well. Honestly if you like fantasia then have at it. Not everyone likes tangiers. Whenever i smoke at my friends house i have to bring my own rig(would do it anyways) because he doesn't like to smoke tangiers. For packing a egyptian i believe you want to pack pretty tight around the edge then light and fluffy in the middle. Not sure about heat management tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
