Isoldated Bad Tangiers Shisha Experience?

ok, with a third coal it hits a little more.

flavor still the same as i remember though =/ but it definately gave me a strong buzz real fast.

More tobacco might help that, or more holes...is the draw tight (too much tobacco, too few holes) or loose (too little tobacco). Tat should give you a good point to do the next bowl.

i packed the crap out of the bowl. I saw a picture of someone making tangiers and it was coming out of the holes made lol. I didn't smash it together but i lightly packed it in to the top if not a little over the top.

That was me! If you do that, but then don't poke enough holes, the draw will be too tight and not produce much smoke, so then I put more charcoal on to get thicker smoke and then it scorches. After you put the tobacco in, put the foil on and poke the holes, flip the bowl upside down (in your hand, looking at the big hole that connects to the hookah), hold the foil and blow air...it should have as much restriction as blowing thro a drinking straw or a little less...it the draw is lighter, you have too little tobacco, if it is real tight to blow through, not enough holes or too much tobacco. If you use a non-Tangiers bowl, they vary greatly in depth. If you have a deeper bowl, my suggestion may mean you have too much tobacco in, anyhow, because there is more tobacco to get air through, the blow test will reveal that.
