Scalliwag Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I am still smoking on this as I write. Been hitting about 1/2 hour now. Evanslight sent me some Red Tea and some Lime and I decided to try the Tea first. Damn this shit is great. Since I have heard so many people having trouble and I don't have any version yet of a Tangiers bowl I was just going to wing this and see what the hell happened. So I got out my little hookah and a MYA bowl and filled the bowl just below where the screen did not touch it. I figured the first round would suck so I did not bother to acclimate it. I used two 33mm Three King coals and my little concentrator nozzle from my old heat gun (R.I.P. Heat Gun, I loved you til the day you died, bit your nozzles live on) Some people had complained of harshness so I filled the vase with a lot of ice and then added straight water. At least maybe that way I would not lose a lung in the process was what I was figuring there. With the two coals stacked I put the cover on and thought, damn this is probably going to hurt like the time I thought I was gonna kick this huge redneck's ass and that did not work out very well. Bigger they are the harder them asshole's hit, only one that fell was me Anyways I know I got lucky but this is the best smoke I have had so far. Anyone having trouble may want to give this a try. It is certainly not the only way, but it worked for me and with the cheapest of hookahs at that.

Skimo Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 thats nice, lol did you already have another bowl ready to go lol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalliwag Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 [quote name='skimo']thats nice, lol did you already have another bowl ready to go lol?[/quote] Na, I just have one of the pre-punched foils test fit on me larger bowl. Notice I also have the packets of apple cider mix. I use that now for my the water in my vase. I did not use it this time though because I did not want to affect the flavor of the tea. But that works really well and it very convenient. Now I have more room in my mini-fridge for beer instead of keeping juice in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Really now... just cold water and stir in a pack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalliwag Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 [quote name='DizzyGuy']Really now... just cold water and stir in a pack?[/quote] Well I pour in a pack into the empty vase and then a small amount of warm water and shake the shit out of it. Then I put in ice and fill it to the desired point with cold water, shake it a little more and start smoking. If I was going to drink the stuff I would not buy the packets though. But it is nice for flavoring up a vase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Hmmm... wonder about cocoa mix in the base for the chocolate smokes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalliwag Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 [quote name='DizzyGuy']Hmmm... wonder about cocoa mix in the base for the chocolate smokes?[/quote] That would probably be nice. I bet with different shisha flavors some mixes would work better. I am thinking about tea with the tea..... have no idea how that may have sounded like a good combo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalliwag Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 oh, an hour and a half now, just keeping on coals and still going GREAT!!! Tangiers fuggin' ROCKS!!!! Scalli has a new best friend!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scalliwag Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 two and a half hours and still going GREAT mateys!!!!! This is strong, not harsh at ALL, thick smoke. The ice melted long ago and the water is probably room temp or a little higher. I am going to smoke it until it loses it's worthiness. But this is not even a big bowl. I could not guess how many grams but this is a pretty small bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Wow, I wish I could try some of this stuff, but right now I am unable to buy it online :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCShisha Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Sounds great! I'm working on a bowl of Kashmir Peach in the new funnel bowl at the moment; My 3rd session (today) with the new funnel and loving it. I also picked up some Pineapple this time around from Hookah Company and found that to be very enjoyable--nice pineapple flavor but no candy like overpowering sweetness. I'll write up a proper review tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvansLight Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 lol welcome to the wonderfull world of tangiers. glad you liked the red tea flavour, i didnt so its good that someone who did got it and thats a nice session man!! Ours would have lasted much longer but we were too busy wanting to try all three flavours XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesusDoesVegas Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I ordered a mix of shisha last night, one being Tangiers F-line Cocoa. Im kind of excited to see if i can get marathon results like this. The Roman and Layalina im used to only last about an hour and a half. Although, that could be my heat management guess work.

I have only had problems. haha I shall try agian tonight and see how things go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbomberto Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 so far im 1-5 with tang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalliwag Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 Round two.... this time I mixed a little lime, maybe 20% with the red tea. Same setup as far as the little hookah, same bowl, screen and cover. This time I felt a little feisty and loaded the vase with ice again but put tea in the vase and added a packet of the apple cider mix as well. Only problem, I put a bit too much tang in the bowl and it touched the screen I pulled the screen off and discarded what had stuck to it. Put it back on and now it is working wonderfully. Very flavorful, hard to describe the taste, but it is very nice. I drank a glass of the same tea I had in the vase and I must say it "tastes" better with it than Shinerbock does. So now I am thinking about sending Ms. Scalli off for stuff to make Long Island Iced Tea and some limes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My longest session ever was an hour and a half- how did you do that EDIT: i also never take a break from puffing. Did you stop to take a break?[/quote] well, I was not steadily huffing. Up to maybe a few minutes at most some to eradicate some of the beer I was taking in. Most of the time maybe a minute between hits if I was to guess. When I cleaned the bowl there was still a little gooey on the bottom of the puck. Normally I alternate between taking a hit and taking a drink. It gets a little foggy as the night goes on but I can still tell time at the end of the night This one now has just hit it's first hour and is running smooth. About to add a coal.

Scalliwag Posted October 1, 2006 Author Share Posted October 1, 2006 I did not get to finish that bowl I had to go to the liquor store, the asian market and grill pork chops when I got back. I picked up green tea, cinnamon sticks, and fresh mint leaves as well as baby back ribs, and 2 lbs of gulf shrimp (the ribs and shrimp be fer tomorrow) At the liquor store me picked up a bottle of rum. I decided I was going to make a good brew to drink with the Tang's Red Tea/ Mint. This is a really good recipe I think fer the drinking side of smoking this: [EDIT] Me named this "Scalliwag's Seawater Tea" fer now. Any have a better name? Ingredients: Rum (Cap'n Morgan Silver) Green Tea fresh mint cinnamon sticks light mild molasses pure honey limes directions: 1) Bring a pot of water to a boil. 2) add enough tea to make 1/2 gallon after you add more water later 3) toss in a couple cinnamon sticks 4) toss in a small clump if mint leaves 5) let it go fer about 10 minutes. 6) add a cup of molasses 7) Turn off burner and cover for another 10 minutes to let the mint and cinnamon set in 8) Strain tea into a pitcher making the drinks 1) put 2oz. of rum in a tall glass 2) put 1 tbsp lime 3) put 2 tbsp honey 4) mix the shit out of that to break the honey down 5) add tea and if you have a shaker knock it out, otherwise mix well 6) add ice 7) fire up hookah and enjoy..... kinda like I am doing now Oh, and if you are serving a favorite lady take some of the honey and put it around the rim of the glass. It gets on the sides of their mouths and it's just a lot of fun watching them lick their lips like that ya know or at least that's the word on the street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
