gyoza Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 (edited) Hello all-Just recieved my small glass phunnel and mod from MNH (highly recommended retailer by the way)Anyway, I decided to test drive my new phunnel last night and noticed that the mod takes up a LOT of space in the bowl. Should I pack the bowl first and then place the mod in or should I put the mod in first and then pack it?The only issue with packing and then modding is that it leaves the mod high above the lip of the bowl. The issue with modding and then packing is that it leaves only a little room for shisha.Maybe I'm just dumb but whats the right way to do it?fyi: Last night I decided to smoke without the mod and it smoked great. Not as much smoke as I would have liked to see from SB, but the flavor was there... Edited November 2, 2007 by gyoza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with the mod in it really only leave room for a thin ring around the mod and the side of the bowl. So you are saying to pack it in there tight?

gyoza Posted November 2, 2007 Author Share Posted November 2, 2007 Cool, thanks, I will give it a try tonight.Another question: Why does the phunnel smoke better with the mod than with just the phunnel by itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekon Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Not sure i don't own a mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 The unmodded bowl is good for tangiers tobacco.Tangiers does not require much heat, so a lot of your heat goes straight down teh funnel rather than heating the tobacco. Which is *exactly* what tangiers requires. Less heat.Normal tobacco's like more heat. So the mod blocks the hole and forces all the hot air over and through the tobacco, then down the funnel.At least that's my take on it.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure the foil is on tight.i have also noticed that any tobacco in the phunnel is much better with OUT the mod. You just have to pack it correctly. Mod=waste of $$$ in my opinion.

Nahkla seems to really hate the funnel bowl.Old Skool tobacco for Old Skool Smoking.JDI disagree with that JD. For some reason, I can get the dry Nahkla tobacco to smoke like a champ in the phunnel with out a mod. The only tobacco ive noticed that HATES the phunnel with or without the mod is Starbuzz. I can only get that thing to smoke right with a regular bowl. Ive tried all setups from underpacking to overpacking to lots of small holes to a few large holes.

shisha fan Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 peoples experiences with phunnels and mods probably differ alot due to the fact that they aren`t mass produced.don`t get me wrong i love my phunnell and mod, but they are not made in a huge factory to my knowledge.
