Erica Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 So, I have a bunch of Tangiers, and see all these people getting amazing results from it. I would like to get atleast a few great smokes out of them so for all you people that know how to work that crazy tobacco, please give me and everyone else who can't seem to get it to work right a step by step process of "How to make to make Tangiers tobacco work." I will ove you forever and ever and ever if someone helps me out with this. Thanks. -Erica P.s. I am in the Acclimation process of Kashmir peach and cinimon. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^Previous post...*edited to /* OKay.. So The link that is in post below..

Scalliwag Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I have not tried it out of my bigger hookah yet. The little one is working so well. as long as I don't let the shisha touch my screen and keep my little heat gun nozzle on it is working fine. What exacty are the problems you are getting?

Erica Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 extremly hot smoke with hardley any coals and medium smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Sounds like too little or too much tobacco. Is it hard to draw or easy? If its hard its too much or not enough/big enough holes (too little airflow). If its easy to draw, which wouyld be my guess, you have too little a tobacco in there.

Scalliwag Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Well, I made a vid. This is 1 hour 50 min into this current bowl. It's just a quick look into the bowl and what the shisha looks like as far as depth. Then I immediately put the screen back on and as you can see I get a pretty decent hit. even better hits after I kept it all in place. But one hand running the camera and one fiddling with the hookah and 4 Shiners it's the best I can do to show you. I am on the third coal at this point BTW. www.scalliwag.com/hookah/tang/tang.wmv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erica Posted October 1, 2006 Author Share Posted October 1, 2006 OKay, so last night I tried again. I put more tobacco in the bowl as suggested. Still no luck. *sigh* I started the bowl with jap coals and when it wasnt working I thought maybe quick lights would work a little better. So I lit one and put it on the bowl.. it was exciting. It worked for about 5 minutes and then got too hot too smoke. I mean, I smoke a lot and am not a cougher but that stuff got me going. haha I must be doing something wrong. =o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can smoke like a chimney and when I had someone pack me tangiers and get it smoking "perfectly" I was hacking up a storm. It does not smoke smooth at all, and was never intended to be fahker 2.0.

Sonthert Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Tangiers it not all things to all people. Some people don't like it, and like I suspect, some people like TJ are extremely sensitive to nicotine. I don't think there is one brand anywhere that everyone can sit down and agree "This is a really good brand." Tangiers is no exception. Erica, two choices: you can come on by (best). or I can talk you through this. Some peope have trouble their first several (more) times. As Scali ironically pointed out, most people get it on the first try or two. I would suggest you try some more tobacco...not so much that airflow through the bowl is tough. Also, your holes might be a little small...try more/ larger ones, get airflow through there...mixing more air in makes it smoke better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scalliwag Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I tried using my bigger bowl with foil and it did not work right. I went back to the standard MYA and screen with my little cover and it flat out rocks. It's even better on my bigger hookah. I used some of my homemade naturals and it was even better than the results with the Three Kings. I just REALLY want to try the strawberry now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizzyGuy Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 This is the only reason that I'm apprehensive about getting Tangiers... I'm afraid that 200 or 250 out of 250 grams is gonna get smoked with no success :/ But it's all good because I think that it's worth it when you get it smoking right... and this is after only 1 experience where it took 30-40 minutes of messing around with it to get less than 5 minutes of good smoke... I'm soon gonna pick up some canary japs due to my recent luck with even the off brand japs... so hopefully that will be to my favor when I get my Tangiers in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entrailsgalore Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Everyone reacts differently to tobacco, but for the most part the average person can tolerate nicotine. Tangiers I cant wait to try out your funnel bowl. Tangiers FTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
