novicafe Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Upon request I finally got around to making a video on how I pack ALL of my bowls. When I smoke, I smoke for a while and I want the flavor to last long. Apparently I pack my bowls more full then most people. My friend and I smoked this same amount of tobacco last night for 2:30 hours on 3 coals and it didn't lose its flavor and there was still some good shisha left.Tobacco: Layalina WatermelonCoals: 3 Kings QuickliteHookah: MYA AcrylicHere is the video though:[url="http://s56.photobucket.com/albums/g164/jewstin248/?action=view¤t=DSCN0660.flv"][img]http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g164/jewstin248/th_DSCN0660.jpg[/img][/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Holy hell! You wern't kidding, thats a lot of tobacco I use the same bowl, and use probably less than half the tobacco.But hey, if it works for you well, I'll probably give it a shot later today. I'm always down for trying new techniques. Think it will work decently with screens, or should I probably stick to foil for your method?Anywoo, thanks for posting a video. It doesn't happen often, but everyone appreciates it when they do get posted. Makes it very clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speel Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 isan't that way to much shisha? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novicafe Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 Its probably best to stick with foil for this one.And no its not to much shisha. It looks like a ton in the video, but its actually not that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafedelmar Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I always pack it lightly, I find it heats better and smokes more, more airflow as well. I think I use a quarter of that amount.But really, I do it because otherwise when I'm done smoking, half the stuff sits at the bottom still usable, and ends up going to waste.

novicafe Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 When I do it I fluff the tobacco a little bit, and it smokes amazing. And when I'm done and open the bowl I still have a decent amount of tobacco left sitting in the bowl still. I'm going to smoke it later and I'll get some clips of how much good tobacco is left and how well it smokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PersianPride Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Was that a joke?Wouldn't all you foil holes become clogged with burnt tobacco in like a matter of minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dikydave Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 no offense, but it just looks like burning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novicafe Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 How does it look like burning? I haven't put a coal on it. I've gotten no burning taste out of it while smoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calcartman Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Wow that is nutty.I'm going to try this for my next party session, and see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGuy Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 ye, makes sense. there was a thread earlier about packing bowls quite big so the shihsa is touching the foil, its aa lot more flavourful, and it doesnt actually burn the shisha like you think it would.If you've ever tried smoking iranian style (no screen or coal) it's not actually as bad as you would think....

novicafe Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 After 5 minutes of getting it going this is the result with 1 Three Kings Coal and Layalina Watermelon tobacco. Also with some Orange Juice in the bottom.[url="http://s56.photobucket.com/albums/g164/jewstin248/?action=view¤t=DSCN0673.flv"][img]http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g164/jewstin248/th_DSCN0673.jpg[/img][img]http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g164/jewstin248/th_DSCN0675.jpg[/img][/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraph Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 That's pretty bizarre. It just seems like a huge waste of shisha to me, is there a lot of unburnt stuff at the bottom when you clean the bowl? It's also just not cost effective to use so much, when a lot of us can get a good smoke using half (if not less) the amount of shisha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
