I had no extras from the first batches that came out (in fact I came up short sad.gif ). Hopefully, extras will be available for me to send out soon.

No, the Y-Head looks nothing like a phunnel, nor a phunnel with a mod. Its a different design entirely.

Super Chief=Y-Head. Its a new bowl for people that like to smoke a little (10g or so) of Non-Tangiers tobacco. It also smokes fine if you want to load it up normally with Tangiers (full-ish). A phunnel head would still be preferable, I would think, but my testing with Tangiers in it has been limited.

Once some people get these, we can get down to naming them.

Currently, they are being sold in all three sizes, but once you see one, you'll realize that different sizes have little impact on them, so I'll probably standardize them to one size (medium-ish).


I'm kinda curious as to how this bowl works.
Do you just pack it up the sides, without going over the holes (funnel-ish)? Or do you pack it like a normal bowl?
With the first option i can see the juice then sitting in the little channel and not dripping down, but defintely a lot of shisha-room wasted.

1. People who smoke Tangiers (and of course fill the bowl up smile.gif )
2. People who smoke Al Amiwahkher (other brands of tobacco with high water contents) and more or less fill their bowls up.
3. People who smoke Al Amiwahkher and only use a little tobacco at the bottom.

The standard bowl works fine for all the above, more or less.
If you are in category 1 or 2, a phunnel is great. Makes your tobacco last longer.
If you are in category 3, the Super Chief (Tangiers new head, whatever I'm gonna name it) or a phunnel with a Scalli or Smiley Mod. will be better than a standard bowl.

ok i got one question that i am sure other people may have...(along with the question calcartman asked which i am also wondering about)...

im probably gonna end up buying a phunnel or super chief at some point in time...but wondering which is best (for category #3)...i may plan on trying tangiers eventually in which case the phunnel+mod seems better because you can easily switch it to just the phunnel...but if the super chief is better than the phunnel+mod for category #3 than i may have to get that...

A Super Chief will smoke Tangiers better than a standard head, but not quite as good as a phunnel. For smoking Tangiers, a Super Chief is an upgrade over the standard head in both cases. If you intend to use larger (close to filled bowl amounts) of Al Amiwahkher, go with a phunnel.

Yes, but how is it packed, and what makes it better? Is it packed lightly on the sidesso the juice drips into the channel and not down the stem, or is it packed normally (in which case i dont see much improvement?)

Um, the first one. You just sprinkle tobacco in the channel. The juice goes nowhere...except up.

The new bowls were designed for people who only use a little bit of shisha per session. So if you load up to the top every time, then yes the phunnel is better, but this one is supposed to be better than a standard bowl if thats what you usually smoke out of.....which would be me......so i'll probably buy one laugh.gif .

Wondering if there was anyway I could get a hold of this bowl as I can't order from MNhookah. For some reason it gives me a message that credit cards with the same first four digits as mine are not accepted sad.gif I'd really like to experiment with this thing, after you described the functionality it really intrigued me.

I love my Small and Medium Phunnels (don't have the large YET) and I swear by them after I figured out how to use them correctly with different shisha brands. If this bowl's functionality is as good as the phunnels.. It may just be my new go to bowl. I've never been dissappointed in Tangiers products, I don't see this one being the one that changes my mind for that matter either tongue.gif

Mine should be arriving sometime tomorrow. Hopefully my shisha from Social Smoke will show up tomorrow as well. If it does, I'll give it a whirl and let you guys know how it smokes.

I have exactly one super-chief left at the lounge. Joey 32b got one, the other one is sitting there.

What a drunken idea! Channel head...channel head? Is that like radiohead? Edited by Sonthert

<------- Loves Radiohead and Thom Yorke. It's good shisha puffin music.

But Channel head does have a good sound to it.. It sounds better than my idea..

"Awesomest Bowl Ever with some Holes In it For Smoke and Stuff!"

What do you think?

I got mine in the mail just now. Looks pretty cool except that the glaze is chipped off in two places. No biggie, though. Just gonna have to wait until I get my StarBuzz from Social Smoke to try it out.
