mushrat Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I can make a video, this weekend perhaps, but I do it all wrong from the way its supposed to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allia22 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 We should REALLY sticky the threads on how to smoke Tangiers... There are about as many threads asking about it as there are people raving about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 And about as many variations on how to do it as people smoking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymptom Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Honestly, I don't think it has much to do with the technique, I think it's just a really fussy tobacco and it depends a lot on atmospheric conditions and other weird variables to smoke properly. The myth is the specificity of technique, in my opinion -- when it smokes good, it smokes good almost no matter how you pack it; when it smokes poorly, there's not much you can do to fix it. I say this because I've had success with so many different techniques, as have others, but what works one week will be a disaster the next.

Erica Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 hahaha just pack a shit load of it into a bowl...lolThats what I do, and its wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I think the most common problem is too much heat..i use tiny chunks of coal and get great results every time...i mean mere cinders... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[LB] Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 id be interested to see a video mush. I have a specific way i pack tangiers, but i still cant smoke it by myself for more than 15 minutes without getting an overwhelming deadly buzz. Maybe a change in methods would help.

juicebox Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I've always just broken up my 30mm quicklights (3k) into halves/quarters. I have a decent-sized bag of randomly broken quicklights, and those work PERFECT for tangiers. I light up 3-6 of them, and let them sit on the tray, and I put them on the bowl as neccessary. When they start to burn out, I stick a few more on to light up and keep it going. I learned this from a hookah bar I go to that used real coals, and they would often give us many small ones (sometimes with one big piece, depending on the flavor) to move around as it got hot. I find this works very well for heat distribution, esp. for tangiers.2ndly....try hot water in the vase. From what I understand, this absorbs more nicotine than cold water, so it should make Tangiers easier to smoke to newbies to high nicotine content (first time I smoked tangiers, I did the process Ive been doing recently...putting the vase with the water in the freezer, along with the stem and hose for an hour or so.....and holy hell, I about fainted from the buzz ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkenWizard Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Do like Erica says, put a whole bunch in the bowl. It will be damn near overflowing when you know you've got it right. I use a small funnel and three japanese coals. And poke holes like crazy with three holes shaped like a triangle over the hole. I have no problems with my tangiers.

Zerodynamic Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I vote the Eric views this thread and shows us via some youtube video how its done...Think of it as customer support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40 Thieves Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 agreed - I got 3k's of this stuff and don't smoke it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrShisha Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 Hopefully someone will come up with a video. Pack it and smoke it, taking a full blown drag right infront of us, just to prove to us that it can be done just like any other tobacco! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ordered Tangiers Kashmir Peach and i'm fairly a newbie so a video tutorial would be awesome!Doesn't matter if you do it wrong, as long as you can smoke it. I use 3 Kings so should I brake up one of them into how many pieces? 2? 3? 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cypherkk Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I find anymore than one quick lite and it gets too hot to pull. It seems patience (whichI failed to put any skill points into lol) is a virtue when smoking tangiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaara Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 One quicklight breaking it up or leaving it as it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 break a 40 mm 3 kings into quarters, I use 2 to 3 pieces and it smokes great. distribute them around the endge of the bowl and work them inward over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems patience (whichI failed to put any skill points into lol) is a virtue when smoking tangiers.So then how long 'til you get passed all the little harshness and the little bit of smoke and REALLY get it going. I find that after 5-7 minutes its still very little smoke and a little bit of harshness so I put on more charcoal and I get a kick ass flavor and badass smoke and no harshness. Then in the next 3-4 puffs it gets WAY too harsh and I could never revive it after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShishaFred Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I use the original Mya bowl , pack it full , poke a couple of holes over it.I then take a 33mm 3K quicklite , break it in two , and place them on opposite sides , near the edges.Instant clouds for me , If it gets harsh , I remove coals , wait a bit , then place them closer to the edge , or change the spot.I'll try more on the phunnel tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
