Ooph Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Also by looking at this would you be able to tell if it is a good or bad one? I could give you descriptions etc...if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shisha fan Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 it`s a standard egyptian claw bowl. the waves in the sides of the bowl don`t have a function, it is either ornamental or just a production flaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 No, the waves are intentional. I believe they are intended for smoking without foil or screen, just naked tobacco with charcoal on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shisha fan Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 this bowl will probably work, but yes i would advice to buy another one. it`s always nice to have a spare bowl in case you drop this one and you`re just about to smoke some delicious al fakher.

So, I take it that the bowl is a great factor in how your Hookah hits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejoshman Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 its an egypian lotus bowl, it looks like a lotus flower, its just a novelty bowl, doesnt give any benefits besides different look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayVer Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 you know when I first looked at it what came to my mind is that you can put the foil on top of it and have it go along the curves so that it would be perfect to drop a finger coal going across it so that it wouldn't roll off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooph Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 So basically it is intended for the coal to be on the tobacco not foil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
