Hellz Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Spire is fine on mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrSmokes Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Until I sand it down, I've had to poke a few holes over the spire. It seems to be smoking good even though I typically don't poke holes there on other phunnels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squidget Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I was out of town the last week so I just go home to find a package waiting for me. (Yay) From left to right: Pico 7, Tangiers Small ('10 batch), Tangiers Medium ('12) [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/6T5Mll.jpg[/IMG] from the top [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/FZcCKl.jpg[/IMG] from the side [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/c3qcWl.jpg[/IMG] from the bottom Haven't had a smoke yet but noticed the spire in the middle is little bit thinner than the small and medium. Also the edges of the bowl are a bit rougher too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mavsfan31 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Is that the purple color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oramac Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Looks like it. I ordered the purple also, and mine is the same. Still learning the bowl though. Sent from my 3VO using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squidget Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 yes, I would love to buy a #8 but its not available yet to us non-San Deigo peeps. In regards to fixing the spire, I'm afraid of jacking it up - I will probably sell it and let someone else fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrSmokes Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Have you tried putting holes over the spire yet? I've been overpacking to give lift to the foil but that hasn't provided a good smoke session. This time I slightly underpacked it, put a few small holes over the spire and having a decent session right now. Clouds are good, taste is good, I think I'll be packing it like this from now on.

[/quote] Yeah, I normally run my phunnel that way. (it's the way Eric taught me ) however it didn't help - the draw was way restricted (was on my egyptian so that shouldn't have been) and the heat was weak (2 coco's with windcover which is how I rock my small). When looking at it compared to the other tangier bowls I have, the center is much higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, Derek said in this thread that he fixed his just by sandpaper, so you may want to give that a try. These are one of the rarest tangiers bowl you know.

Dereksd Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Yea I still need to grind it down some more but it has definitely helped. I need to get my hands on a dremmel. It's worth the risk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joytron Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I just used sandpaper and while it does take a while its really easy. You do not have to worry about messing it up, just pack a bowl and if it doesnt smoke right go lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellz Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 put a good 4 hours on the bowl yesterday... guess i got lucky with my spire. probably couldave smoked for longer but I got tired and wanted to go to bed haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1v3th3ad Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 is it tough to sand down? mine needs sanded down, was using it all weekend up the cabin and it had restricted airflow from the foil hitting the spire...I'm gonna mess around with my packing technique too to see if that helps.

DrSmokes Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 One thing I've done with the spire is put a paper clip on top of it since the foil (no matter how much I stretch it) has had slack and still folds over it. This has yielded nice results since I've tried this. Did this because I don't have anything to sand it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] No its easy just takes a while, be sure to get some low grit as well or it will take forever. Something you can do while you are smoking another bowl though. Plus I think sanding is a great exercise tool in character building. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
