Pavo21 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) So, when we were at tangiers pre-release party, i was talking to some people about the alien phunnel bowl and how they pack them. Everyone packs them tight and what not like you should pack tangiers but...i have a different method of doing it and i found that it last longer my way. most people say it last 2-3 hours at most and tangiers should last way longer then that so i tested out other ways of doing it. so here is my way of packing tangiers into a alien phunnel bowl. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPfQU-Bx8Ng wont let me embed for some reason so link i guess Edited December 13, 2011 by Pavo21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epoch Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 So, the secret to extra-long lasting bowls is to stuff three times the usual amount of tobacco in them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavo21 Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 Mainly for just the alien phunnel bowl, just when I smoke I smoke for more then 2 hours so I don't want to have to repack it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I noticed in all of Stuie's reviews where he shows a pic of the bowl packed with coals on it's always bumped over. Not quite as much as yours, maybe a little less. But perhaps this is something I should try on my Tangiers Mini Phunnel? I'm wondering if maybe you're compensating for how shallow the Alien is. Eric designs all of the Tangiers phunnel bowls to be a correct depth/width ratio, and, in my opinion, this ratio combined with a superior use of clay that is heat retentive is what makes Tangiers bowls so epically awesome. Anyway, good how-to man! Like I said, I think I may try overpacking the shit out of my Tang Mini sometime. If I do, I'll let you know how it goes.

Dereksd Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I'm a firm believer that everyone packs differently and it works for them but idk about this man. I mean obviously it must work because why would you post this if it didn't but it kinda defeats the purpose of an alien. That much tobacco could have went into a small haha. I use mainly aliens since I'm broke so like to use less shisha. If long sessions is what you are going for its easy to get 3-4 quality hours with an alien with proper packing and heat management. Littlec made a great alien packing video but I'm on my phone and can't post but I'll find it when I'm at my laptop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavo21 Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 yah well the only reason i pack it like this is because when we have people over which is like every weekend we have about 2-3 hookahs going and we only got 2 tangier phunnels, they keep disapearing on us so yah thats why, if was going to just smoke for about 2-3 hours solo or with erica the regular way would be perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epoch Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I stuff every bowl I use. I find that "too much" tobacco is ALWAYS preferable to "too little". But good lord, I'd just use the small phunnel for that much tobacco! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pavo21 Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 ok so i did it with help from erica and our buddy jimmy we set out to find out the difference in the tobacco used in the alien phunnel and the small tangiers phunnel. so first we weighed each bowl Tangiers Phunnel - 2.2 oz Alien Phunnel bowl - .7 oz then we packed both bowls tight like a tiger like u would Normally pack them Tangiers Phunnel - 7oz Alien Phunnel - 3.2 oz then we packed the alien phunnel the way i pack it to make it last longer so i dont have to repack it, which is posted in the video. Alien Phunnel - 5 oz So you can see that even with the alien phunnel being loaded looking like its more tobacco then the tanigers bowl it really is still less sure packing it tight over fluffing is using less tobacco but if u look at the numbers its not much less. just thought everyone would want to read this post again and see how it went Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1v3th3ad Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I pretty much only use aliens now...I pack it semi tight and over-flowing and I get 3-5 rounds of coconut coals on it...works for me bc I I don't really want to smoke the same flavor for four plus hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tah161 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Just curous, how come you just dont use the bigger bowl? instead of having that bump, seems like you could just load the bigger bowl with the same amount and it would be at the rim?
