andreww Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 It only took 2 days to get here, placed my order on tuesday. Was happy with the time it took, and everything was there and it smells so nice And as for my question; I orderd a small funnel with a mod. Is it supposed to stand above the rim like this? I'm just trying to be sure Also, when I go and start using it, would 4 coals be too much for a small funnel?Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReverieForest Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Right, 3 squares in a triangle formation have been working well for my small phunnel as well. For the mod...mine sticks out also, and I've read on here that other's are just the same. I'd like to think that the mod uses that extra space above and around the funnel portion to create minimum airflow restriction...vs if it were smaller, you'd suffer a harder pull.

SafeSearchOff Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 what kind of coals you using andrew?i use 1 stick of nours broken into 3 pieces, and lay them long ways on my phunnel. every 20 minutes or so i move them all clockwise like half an inceh to cook all the shisha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SafeSearchOff Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 (edited) i'd use 3 or 4. i've heard of most people using 4 jap coals.edit: here's the thing with phunnel bowls - basically, as long as the coals are spaced out enough (about half an inch from each other or more, you can keep adding coals. because wherever there isnt a coal, that shisha isnt cooking, and your not getting as much potential smoke as possible. phunnels are really hard to get harsh unless you overpack it or place two coals like right next to each other. so asl ong as there is space, use 4 japs.

dedbob Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 andreww,How tall is your Mod by itself? I just received mine from Hookah Company and it's nearly 7/8" tall.. A lot taller than it looked from pictures I've seen online. My mod actually comes up higher than the lip of my Medium Funnel Bowl that I also got from HC..I'm still trying to talk to HC to find out if there's something wrong with my mod, because I was under the impression that it should fit perfectly in the medium funnel.

Anyone have a Scalli's Mod they can measure and/or post a close-up picture of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReverieForest Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Remember, these are all hand made. I'm sure you'll run into an ugly one now and then. Mine is actually uneven, measuring 6/8" on one side and 5/8" on the other. Is that extra height even an issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that extra height even an issue?If the mod is higher than the bowl it just means that your foil is not going to be level. It will slope down from the edges of the mod to the lip of the bowl, and coals will be more likely to slide or roll off the foil.Not a huge problem, but definitely an annoyance.

ReverieForest Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 (edited) That's gonna be the case with every single mod. Ask anyone here...In another post Johnny D pointed out that the mod helps give clearance between the foil and shisha...minimizing burning.

Glottis2 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Mod being higher than the bowl is no big deal at all, don't even worry about it. Like others have said, the mod is handmade and is subject to imperfections, but the imperfections won't actually hinder the performance of the thing.Also, I think that hookahcompany doesn't deserve the bad rap that they have gotten lately. I think they are a great company. And no, I'm not being paid to say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
