shepherdhookah Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Does anyone know about how many liquid oz X grams of shisha will be. I want to know because i'm looking at investing in some air tight containers and wanted to know the smallest size i could get that would hold 50, 100, 125 or 250 grams of shisha. sorry but i'm new and didn't know if this was common knowledge or not. thanks!

shepherdhookah Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 QUOTE A container rated for 2 cups is just enough for 250g.So thats about 1 fl oz per 15.5 grams. The minimum size requirement would be as follows:50g --> 3.2oz (1/2 cup)100g --> 6.5oz 125g --> 8.0oz (1 Cup)250g --> 16oz (2 cups)Is this true across the board for all brands?I hope this helps others like me.

Ebzen Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I got some of those containers a few days back that were 500ml and loaded 'em up with 250g shisha without problems. Could prolly add another 100g as well, but I like to have room to properly stir the shisha up.Sorry about the metric measurements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheezerman Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I put my 250g packages of Tangiers into THESE containers. 8oz nalgene jars. They fit perfectly and are very high quality containers. I buy the clear ones from a lab supply company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manntis Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I bought a couple of nakhla flavours in 250g sized jars back in the day - now I just wash them out and refill them with 250g boxed shisha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbs Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Ziplock twist top containers with the tops that actually twist on like a bottle cap as opposed to snap on are pretty much perfect for 250g portions of tobacco.They're kinda cheap too.. here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbs Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I guess you're right.. I guess I would also change my methods of storage if I was passing down my sacred shisha stash as a family heirloom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I use 28 Oz. for 250g., 48Oz. for 500g and squeezing for 1000g. 1000g needs like 64Oz. 12-16 Oz is enough for 100g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalSoil Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 These:In entrée size they are 3 1/8th cups (25oz, 739ml) they can squeeze 500g of Tangiers and are perfect for 250g.I like them for Tangiers because they are low profile and keep the juices spread more even.

Sonthert Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 The same sort of containers by Ziploc are fine too. Polypropylene is superior for the application, both Glad and Ziploc are Polypropylene. Just get whichever one is cheaper (or other similar containers made of polypropylene). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erufiku Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Lock and Lock 350ml containers fit *exactly* 250g of shisha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepherdhookah Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 To answer my own question I found these work the best out of anything i've tried and tested. If your using loose shisha don't take all the air (but yet enough) out and keep it in the corner because it will press the juices out. If you happen to seal loose shisha too much you can work the juices back to the pile. The best way I found with these is too use tins and take the shisha out of the bag it come in, in the tin.
