3rooker Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I'm no noobie to hookah setup or smoking, but I never bought Tangiers before. So, since the 7ico and some Tangiers is on it's way, I realized, I've read a lot about setup for Tang but I've actually never smoked Tang, or from a phunnel before. Since it's been a couple years since I've smoked and a couple years beyond that since I've had my own gear, I've been doing a lot of reading on the new (new to me) brands and trying to filter the shitty flavors out of all the brands. So, with the phunnel and Tang, how is it any different than say, AF or Starbuzz, and what do you have to do differently when smoking it. Also, can you pretty much smoke anything from the Tang phunnel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang67n Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 yes, anything will smoke great in a tang Phunnel. As far as how you set it up to smoke it.. it's a lot to type.. but there are MANY tutorials around here that've helped me out a lot. Particularly one was very helpful. It is a video done by Hookah John and Eric. Eric actually shows his method of loading and it has been the most helpful to me. I'd try a youtube search of it, as I dont think i've ever seen it here on HF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dereksd Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Also I've found that not every packing method works for everyone. Whenever I have experienced smokers come over and hang I like to have them pack to see how they do it compared to how I do. Yes there is some points you must hit when dealing with packing Tangiers and heat management but not everyone is gonna do the same thing. Mess around(especially since you got the #7 bowl you won't waste a ton of shisha as when I first started I wasted 500 grams) and find what works for you but yes read how tos and watch videos.

[/quote] Ouch that sucks on the 500 grams I mean in all reality it seems pretty self explanatory. It seems you pack it more dense than a regular bowl where you would tend to fluff it or lightly pack it. I think the heat management will be the only new thing to have to deal with. I assume with a #7 two CCN should be more than enough heat to keep thick clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dereksd Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Thats what im hoping for with the #7. I love my pico but i have to cut coals with it or stonehenge them so im hoping with the #7 i can lay 2 chronics down half on the bowl and be good to go from there. I love my pico for birquq though its great. Just want something a little bigger for noir. We shall see tomorrow when it gets here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamyxcupcakes Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 For the 7ico I would probably start with 2 ccns stone henged, and work up from there. With my pico I do the same and as the coals get smaller I place them flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Check out my "Guide to Tangiers Success" thread, link in my signature below. It shows my methods of preparing/smoking Tangiers. I will update it for Birquq once I have tried more flavors of it. Keep in mind that once "mastered" (I don't think I ever truly master any aspect of hookah, as there's always something new to learn), you may find your preferred methods differ from others, and that's totally okay. We all like to do it a little different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did just find [url="http://www.hookahforum.com/topic/40379-chreeess-guide-to-tangiers-success/"]Chris' Tangiers Success[/url] thread. So when smoking other brands from the Tang phunnel, do you still pack it tight or a little lighter? Wetter the tighter dryer the lighter? Or just pack everything tight? Final question then I think I'm ready to start practicing haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Prepping a hookah is like masterbation, different strokes for different folks but we all usually end up with the same result. Giant amounts of white stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang67n Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 as far as packing other brands in a phunnel.. it's pretty much the same as you would normally pack said brand in an egyptian/mod bowl. for most, light and fluffy, nakhla, if its a bit tighter and denser it works great too.

Chreees Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I pack everything else tight in a phunnel and generally get good results (I mostly smoke Nakhla other than Tangiers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
