wpw36 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 does anyone here put a layer of foil on the bottom of the bowl, i have found that it is alot easier to clean and if you get it right you can pull the shisha out in a foil container of sorts, i was just wandering if anyone else does this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 NO ONE.It's completely unnecessary. Most bowls are glazed anyway and are easy to clean.Foil top & bottom will just create more difficulties in smoking and getting your heat management right.We had a member smoking Al Waha for ages and just could not get it right. He used foil in the bottom. Guess what happened when he stopped? So don't do it. It offers next to no advantages[1].JD[1] - It is rumoured that HH (Hookah Hookah) Tobacco prefers this method of bowl arrangement. I cannot comment as never smoked it and still would not use foil in my bowl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course it destroys the tobacco super-fast.I think that's how the idea is gain popularity.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilbrownindian Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 i tried the foil thing at the bottom of my bowl once because it wasnt glazed, not worth it at all, totally ruins your smoke.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SafeSearchOff Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 my standard mya bowl doesnt have a glazedi nside, and its no difficulty to clean at all, you need a sink with hot water is all.it seems a little unecessary to put foil on the bottom...

xian Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 There is a decent method I've used that involves foil in the bowl. Will post later when I can get pics up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryet Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 When I bought my first hookah, the lady at the shop told me to rock the inner lining. I've been doing it that way for the past 2 years, but after some experimentation, realized that foil totally messes up your heat management. Just wash with hot water after you're done smoking.

Akkbar Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 before i had a phunnel bowl, i used the 'fake' phunnel (from the how-to a while back), and i have to say it worked great.to clarify, the fake phunnel is making a phunnel out of foil and sticking it inside your regular bowl. i put the shiny side up, and it worked well. i'd do it again if i didnt have a real one now.
