joeyhookah Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Hello everyone, I was given a hookah as a gift and it came with a metal bowl. I am used to the clay bowls. Whats better clay or metal? or does it even matter? Another thing is that the hookah bowl is a male (syrian) rather than female (egyptian) and is shallow. Are there any syrian bowls that are larger or deeper or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMOKE~N~BUBBLZ Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Joey, Use a clay or ceramic bowl if you can, teh metal ones heat up to much and it is hard to control the heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 The one Mo and I use is very deep, check out "sultan bowl" topic for pictures. Only place I know you can get them is the store down from where I work and Hookahook.com. They are not listed on their site and they are only $4, But the shipping from Beruit is an additional $16 .... They're $4.99 plus tax at the store here and I can send you one if you want. Shipping should only be a few bucks. These things are really nice, look good too. Last time i checked he had blue like min and a brown/tan.

joeyhookah Posted June 3, 2005 Author Share Posted June 3, 2005 Mush I saw a new store down the street from my office that sells hookahs and accessories I will check them out first. If they don't have anything I'll probably get one through you. Thanks a bunch, you guys are awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lytic Cycle Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Definitely get a clay bowl instead. Metal bowls conduct heat quickly, which causes the bowl to overheat and burn the tobacco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyhookah Posted June 5, 2005 Author Share Posted June 5, 2005 Yep the bowl gets too hot. Smoke becomes harsh, I do need to change that bowl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustang67 Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Hey Mushrat i was looking for that bowl on hookahook.com but cant seem to find it, i guess the accesories section is down or something. Have you found any other place that sells this type of bowl?-Thank youmustang67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Mustang: I know they are retooling their entire site after changing credit card company, looks like they don't have that part up yet. I'd actually e-mailed them about this bowl because it wasn't listed on their site even then. They said they could get me one, but since everything is shipped from Beruit the shpiing would be about 4 times the price of the bowl. This makes shipping reasonable for the VERY nice hookahs they have, but not so much for just a bowl or two. The only place I've found one like it anywher, ncluding the internet, is the middleastern grocry by where I work. They are 4.99 there and It cost 2 something to ship one to Joeyhookah last week. You want one? PM me with your address and we can arrange something. Traded him for a windscreen he got locally. Much better bringing business to local merchant when you can I feel.

Mustang67 Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Thank you very much Mushrat! I just received it about 2 minutes ago and will be smoking this beautiful bowl in good health soon. You are too kind and i thank you once again. Ill be posting my own take/review on the bowl shortly. Thank you -Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyhookah Posted June 20, 2005 Author Share Posted June 20, 2005 Well this is a deeeep bowl alright. I put lots of shisha and worked out fine with the foil. I tried to use the metal screen and got too hot. I am using golden charcoals, used one and was not hot enough, and two charcoals burnt the tobacco. I need to play around with the heat on this bowl with the metal screen. Any suggestions on how much coals to use Mushrat, anybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Ok, first, use less Ma'asell. You can use the same amount you used for smaller bowls and get just as long a smoke out of it. If you look at the ealier pictures, the cleaner section on the bottom of the bowl is all the ma'asell I use for 1 1/2 hours of smoking pleasure. Don't waste your stuff. As for coals. I use bulk charcoal that i chop into chunks. I have a general size i work for but nothing scientific. For AF and Romman i've been using 2 smaller chunks or one larger, depending on whats in my tupperware. Try 1 1/2 coals. try 2 to get it going and remove one of them once its going. I am regularly checking and moving my coals around, addeding a fresh one, that sort of thing. Heat management has become part of the Smoking ritual for me. Glad you like the bowl though...

joeyhookah Posted June 21, 2005 Author Share Posted June 21, 2005 Thanks mushrat, I'll try more heat management when I get the chance. Hey btw, got some fumari watermelon but its not my cup of tea. Let me know if you like watermelon maybe we can trade. jh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
