ZenSilk Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Well dude if there's no smell in the first place, i mean, if it doesn't smell anything like strawberries, or berries, or even sugar than it's a bad batch and it doesn't need to be smoked.

Krakatoa Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 When I first opened my pack of blue Gumball, it smelled a little funky. After 24 hours or so, it just smelled like blueberries! Actually the whole kitchen smelled like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillySoCo7 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hey clickhea. I've tried to smoke lemon-lime and red tea and have not been able to get a good smoke yet. (Always harsh, doesn't taste like what it's supposed to, etc.). I live about 45 minutes outside of NYC. We should start a lounge where everyone comes and just has shitty packs of tangiers. I'm gonna try one more time tomorrow with a few tricks from a couple people, i'll let you know how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been having trouble w/ my Orange Soda and Schnozzberry since I received them from HC, and I usually smoke with olivewood coals that work great with every other shisha I've smoked. If your coals are bad it would be obvious no matter what you are smoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shisha fan Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 i`m having the same problem with peach iced tea (got it from hookah-shisha). it smokes good, but it just doesn`t have any flavor. i use good coals (cococha coconut coals), so thats not the problem.

clickhea Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 (edited) then maybe h-s is sending out some bad batchesi asked them to get back to me, they told me they would and they never did so they lost a customer tobacco wise, i'll never buy tobacco from them ever again.

Ralleac Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 QUOTE is it that hard for everyone to follow the directions given by the tangiers company? acclimate for at least 4 hours prior to smoking....sheesh Personally, I followed the instructions, watched the video, and took advice from everyone who's been available to give it. I let all of it acclimate for 4-6 hours, put it all in seperate tupperware, stirred before packing bowls, overpacked my bowl (tried it packed normally after several failures via this method without better results) while letting the shisha fall into place (rather than squishing it down,) poked several different large hole patterns as shown by Rayver, Eternalsoil, and others, and tried various levels of heat while trying to get it to smoke properly. I'd like to think I'm at least a somewhat experienced setting up bowls, because I can get anything else smoking great. I just don't seem to have any luck with my Tangiers.
