Unlucky with mint...

[ShadyFizz]

So Everytime I smoke just mint, it ends up being a harsh type smoke with small clouds. I smoked af mint yesterday in my vortex with a loose pack and 2 jamras. Idk if I'm doing something wrong or if mint is just always like that. How do you pack af mint to get a good, cool, minty bowl with no harshness? Thanks(:

Try a medium dense pack in an egy. That's how I smoke it and it's never harsh like that.

I don't have much experience with af mint but I do smoke nak mizo mint and nak chocomint. I usually have a fluff pack just a tad over the rim then pat it down till it's under the rim so that it doesn't touch the foil in a Egyptian bowl. Then either two coals with a windcover or three without, making sure to rotate the coals often. I usually get a good session like that, oh and one layer hd foil

Honestly, AF mint is the only flavor I get right 100% of the tome. I find it heat resistant like no other. I fluff pack my Egyptian or I dense pack my crown micro. 2 coals on crown micro, three on Egyptian.

I'm not sure how you can ruin mint, i would assume some of the harshness would be masked by the flavor if you're not totally burning the tobacco. I suggest a denser pack, specially for AF and if that fails try less heat.

I use AF Mint in my vortex all the time and never have had that occur. I pack it heavy light...not extremely heavy but not light either - somewhere in between...but I really dont see that its hard to maintain. I use 2 leo-naras and add one half way thru the sesh. Good luck dude.

I smoked AF Mint the other day. Fluffed in a genie vortex, 2 silver tabs and a windcover. Only had brief moment of harshness from leaving the windcover on too long.

Coconut coals tend to burn hotter, so I would suggest sliding them to the edge of the bowl if the tobacco is burning. As always, avoid letting the tobacco touch the foil.

Ill try it in my Egyptian. Thanks everybody!

i would say try packing a bit denser a little higher but dont touch the foil. I fluff it in above the rim on my small tang phunnel, then pat it down below the rim. holes. 3 cocos halfway off. let it sit for 4mins, rotate, 4 mins. pull it. 2 cocos works if i just put it on there without the edges hanging off, then i just do the same 4min rotate 4 min pull method.
