Fouda Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I just prepacked my crown micro with some af strawberry. I'm gonna smoke it tomorrow at about noonish (mountain time). Anyways I was just wondering if I should store it right side up or upside down? I haven't poked holes in the foil so either way would work.....thoughts?

Stuie Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Rightside Con - Juices pool at the bottom, flavor decreased Upsidedown Con - Juices pool at the fool and burn on initial lighting Rightside Pro - Smoke right away. Upsidedown Con - Flavor will last longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fouda Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 I think Might go upside down and then turn it rightside up about 30 minutes before I smoke. Thanks stuie. Ill report in tomorrow during my session Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joytron Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Upside down for tipping reduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoozle Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Lay it over on it's side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coyote Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I always put them upside down when I do it and then stand them right side up for a few minutes before I smoke. I don't do it often and I rarely do that with Tangiers. Sometimes with layered mixes of Tangiers I will turn the bowl upside down for a few minutes before I smoke it.

Rambo Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 gi just dont see the point? it takes like 30 seconds to pack ur bowl. and u still gotta wait for coals anyway. but i agree with stuie 100% The only thing I could see is if you're trying to take your hookah somewhere and don't want to transport baccy. Maybe if you made a mix and you want the juices to blend? But I've never noticed a difference in doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
â€On Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Gotta agree with pavo on this one, I just don't see the point. If you're going to be short for time and want a quick smoke after/while eating lunch on your lunchbreak (which I assume is the case here), just set out your tobbaco container, pre-cut and pre-poke the holes in your foil, then remove the foil and set it there. Set your pipe up and put it where you plan on smoking. Put some coals on your burner so they are ready to light. When you walk in the door the next day, turn on the burner. While your food is cooking/heating up/whatever, pack your bowl, throw the foil on, done, put it on your pipe. While you eat, your coals will heat up, and once you're done the coals will be ready. I just don't see how any of that took so much extra time that it would be worth sacrificing a good bowl for. If this is going to be a real short session for you (like, 20 minutes), then you could also use a really small/shallow bowl, like an Alien (as much as I dislike that bowl), as the juices wouldn't settle down to the bottom as much, since it's not a deep bowl.

Dereksd Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I do this on nights I plan on drinking (most nights). I just pack all my bowls for that night so it doesnt interfere with daddy tv time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fouda Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 I was just short on time and thought I'd give it a shot. Didn't ruin the bowl at all. Probably didn't smoke how it normally does but it wasnt ruined Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I've never had any issues doing it. Max time I have let it sit upright though is probably 10 hours or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavo21 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 i guess i just see it a pointless situation, i dont think i'll ever been in the situation to where i need it pre packed. if i was in such a time crunch i just wouldn't smoke. or if i was just to lazy, which doesn't make since because ur still packing a bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 For me it is usually when I know I won't be home til say, 730, and there is a basketball or hockey game on. So the second I get home it is all eyes on the game. So if a bowl is all ready and everything is good to go I don't have to miss any of the game in order to smoke.
