Tangiers Super Cheif


Recommended Posts

So call me dumb, but is the Super Chief just the Phunnel concept applied to non-Tangiers tobacco? Or is there a completely different reason for the SC?

/Sorry if I missed an earlier explanation.

It looks like a normal bowl, but have a v-notch in it, it was made so u can get a phunnel effect, but without haveing to use a mod, because the tangiers phunnel was designed for tangiers only, and I do not use a mod with that, but i do with others, so i figure try this bowl out

Tangiers explained the super chief is made for regular shisha. Same concept as the funnel with the raised middle to let the juices stay in the ring, the only difference is that the chief has many holes instead of just one. I get my medium and small tomorrow, I will also post reviews of them as well as some pics if I can manage that.

It smokes well with any "moist" shisha. It's kind of pointless if it's on the dry side as the purpose is to let the shisha sort of cook in it's own juices.

Even "dry" tobacco isn't. As the hookah juice heats up, its viscosity drops off sharply. It becomes runnier and more mobile. A dry tobacco would be helped even more by a phunnel head, because it has less juice to lose. The sweetening agent actually runs off, too. there's a period in Tangiers smoking when you hit the "molasses phase" about 6 hours into a large phunnel, where the molasses begins to cook off, since everything else is almost gone except a little flavor and a lot of glycerine.

I've had a funnel bowl (without the Scalli mod) for about a month now, and it's rapidly becoming my favorite, even though I don't smoke Tangiers... yet. I usually smoke Layalina, Al Fakher and Nakhla. Since getting my funnel, I won't smoke Layalina out of anything else. I can smoke Al Fakher out of either the funnel or the a regular bowl, and, as for Nakhla, I'll stick with a regulal bowl unless I'm mixing it with one of the other brands.

Hey Sonthert

Quick question about this Super Chief Bowl. While packing, do you recommend tobacco in the whole thing, or ring it like the funnel?


In my opinion I would put tobacco in the whole thing
as it does not have that centre hole like the funnel bowl.....

It has holes all over....

That defeats the purpose.
It has a channel in the side, a la the funnel bowl, which is where you put the tobacco. The more holes are to allow more airflow.

Yes, the point of the SC is to be able to use less tobacco.

You can't go wrong with either one of them. You're going to be smokin' great with either one of them.
