Twang Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I know some people do and some people don't. I don't because I do not see the point in having air go straight down the hookah with out passing through any shisha. But, maybe I am missing something...Comments?

TheOneNonlyTK Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 i usually dont poke the middle hole unless its starting to get harsh then i poke the middle hole and others aroubnd the bowl to relieve the heat and get more air flowing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeppyrkr Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 i use mod so no hole for me but if i didn't use mod i wouldn't cause as you said its pretty pointless, but maybe ill be enlighten with why some people do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canon Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 ray explained it to me. all this science crap that he heard from eric (the guy who made tangiers)i do it, it doesnt make the smoke any weaker or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoolinspoon Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 if you know how to seal it then there is no need for the hole. otherwise some people make a hole because the foil is covering the hole thus blocking in smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterboi Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I sometimes poke a small hole in the middle. works good for me and the smoke is real thick and still taste good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayVer Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 the hole in the middle helps for the negative vacuum created by the phunnel bowl which brings the center of the foil down during suction...a good size hole in the middle eliminates this occurance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Messiah Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I use three holes with Tangiers. None with other brands (I use a mod with non-Tangiers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be rephrased as - poking a hole in the middle prevents the foil from getting sucked down. I've never had a problem with foil getting sucked down over the center hole. Maybe I pack my Tangiers a little higher, or my phunnel has a lower top to the center hole, or I pull my foil really tight...Maybe I will try it next time just to see if there is any difference.

hookah hippie Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 No hole in the middle for me. I am a big fan of the mod and use it all the time only time I don't is when I smoke Tangiers and when I do I put a hole in the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoop Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 i tried with holes and w/out. no difference what so ever if youre packing tangiers properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy1966 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 If I poke holes with a toothpick I do not use a middle hole. I have been using the how to for Tangiers by mdl to set up the Phunnel so there are holes in the middle then. If you have not tried this for Tangiers yet, you are missing out completely.

gaia.plateau Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 No hole. Whatever negative physical suction discombobulation may occur from having the hole, it causes the heat to be directed straight through the phunnel and into the stem, circumventing the shisha... so you're getting less smoke, even though the shisha is just as likely to burn because the top is still just as exposed to the heat.Mod = win.

Codename067 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) I always do it. Massive hits every time.I have a special way of doing it though, I don't just poke a whole in the middle...next video =]It will have a slight effect on the thickness of the smoke because with a hole dead center, you guys are getting air directly in, there is nothing to burn over the center whole, while the smoke comes from where the shisha is burning.edit: gaia got it.
