The perfect setup for Aino Tabak
Depending on the line, a slightly different setup is recommended:
- Aino Tobacco (Virginia): Phunnel head + HMD, place tobacco loosely, 2-3 coals. Low heat – Virginia doesn’t tolerate overheating.
- Aino Dark (Darkblend): Phunnel or Multi-hole head, pack a little more densely than Virginia. Can handle more heat and delivers even more intense flavors.
- Aino Strong: Phunnel or multi-hole head, pack tightly. Start with full heat - the strong tobacco needs power for maximum taste.
💡 Tip for beginners: Start with the Virginia line – for example
Smash (Blueberry & Peach) or
Frut Squad (Fruit mix & ice). If mild isn't enough for you, try the Dark line
Black (Blackberry). And if you want buzz:
G.O.A.T. (Mint & Grape) is the perfect introduction to Strong.

Which head for Aino Tabak?
For the Virginia line we recommend a phunnel head with HMD - insert loosely and use little heat. The Dark line works in both the phunnel and the multi-hole head, packed a little more tightly. Both are also suitable for Aino Strong - here you can pack more densely and work with more heat.
