New to Tangiers

[LilTank13]

Hi, I am definately new to hookahs and just purchased some Tangiers... I am looking to experience it to the fullest since there are awesome reviews on it. I got orange soda, and was wondering what you guys did to prepare it. I know you have to let it acclimate for around 4 hrs, but how did you do this, seeing as it comes in a bag? Should I dedicate a tupperware bowl or something? Also, how often did you stir? I read it takes less heat, so is 1 quick lite coal alright, or do I need multiple? Thanks in advance for your patience. :oops:

acclimate by letting it sit open in like a tupperware container. it came in a bag and you obviously dont want to keep it in that so buy some cheap grocery store brand tupperware. doesnt matter how often you stir. i usually only stir before i pack a bowl.

Yeah let i acclimate by sitting out open in some tupperware, or cut the bag down the sides and let it flop open and spread out the tobacco, and then put it in a ziplock bag or something. Stir everytime before you pack a bowl (I recommend you look at the How to pack a tagiers bowl article on hookahwiki.com) If your using a standard egyptian bowl One quicklite will do fine, maybe even too much, if it get harsh maybe only use half a coal. Some flavors, and some climates require more than 4 hours of acclimation, I usually let mine sit out over night to make sure its fully acclimated. As far as packing, after you've stirred the tobacco just take a bowl sized glob and throw it in the bowl, no sprinkling like other brands. Try to match the density of tobacco in the bowl to the density of the tobacco after its been stirred in the container. Be sure to fill the bowl so that the foil touches the tobacco too. I like to poke my holes all the way through the bowl, but there are differing opinions on that. Basically your first few times its most likely NOT going to smoke perfect, but after tinkering with your methods for 4-5 bowls you should be getting really nice sessions out of it

Orange Soda is my fav!

Yeah, just stick it into some type of tupperware, and let it accimulate.
