Seraph Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I tried packing what I normally would consider "too much" when I smoked last night, and I didn't really notice much of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookahnoob Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Crazy ass! So shit there is good shisha left over. You would need a damm log to light all that tobacco! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakescakes Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 what size charcoal did you use.from the second video, I saw a 33mm(or smaller size) 3kings. Not the bigger disc. Are you only using 1 at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novicafe Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 I only use 1 33mm Three Kings at a time. And when the first one dies off a little I set the 2nd coal on an angle, leaning on the 1st coal. Like a ramp. That way all of the coal isn't touching the foil, its just providing more heat, this way it won't burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahDuck Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I belive that is officially referred to as "a grip load" of tobacco.*shrug* I'll give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymptom Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 The only trouble I've had with packing the bowl like that is that the heat never seems to be able to get down to the bottom layers. I continue to add more coal, but the taste starts to get a little muddy. But other than that, it's been working great. I've been making a mound in the center, just enough to cover all the holes, mounding it up so that it bulges above the rim. I leave the sides empty, hoping to waste less tobacco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Lantern Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I've never tried that circle method for poking holes in the foil. How well does it work? Is it a common way to do it? I just poke rows and rows of holes like a grid/graph paper look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frontmanpb101 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 i tried it your way and after about 2 minutes it was good, huge clouds, 20 minutes later all i could taste was burnt and not to much smoke... i'm thinking it was an acclimation problem though.

I get MUCH MUCH MUCH better results with quite the opposite approach to packing a bowl.. sprinkle in a little bit, loosely pack it down and to the sides, with almost a slight indentation in the middle, and making sure it will not touch the foil.. I get the same smoke, same flavor, lasts about an hour, doesn't use as much shisha, and nothing in the bowl is wasted.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novicafe Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 Awkward because I don't get those results. I'm working on getting up my own hookah resource site (which should hopefully be completed tonight), so I will be busy all night. It will be worth it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
