smarthobo Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Well, I splurged and bought the MH Glass Funnel, complete with the Scalli Mod, and was pretty impressed with the look of it. After testing it with two different brands of shisha (SB, and Hookah Hookah), I've come to the conclusion I get more/better smoke with just a plain ceramic bowl rather than the funnel (and FYI, I don't think the large should be called a large, it's closer to a small/medium if anything).To pack the bowl, I put the scalli mod over the funnel hole, and then tobacco over that with aluminum foil/etc. What am I doing wrong? The smoke isn't very thick, and the session doesn't nearly last as long as with ceramic bowls, either.Thanks for any help you guys can offer!

Sounds to me like you're doing it right, but here's a link to RayVer's review/guide so you can compare.http://youtube.com/watch?v=gaIHsvy1KyoEdit: the problem is probably that you're not using enough coal - there is more heat displacement with the phunnel, especially when using the scalli mod.

RayVer Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 (edited) smarthobo you must def. be doing something wrong. I get tons of smoke from that bowl. Actually I was filming a video of something else today and there was a scene where I needed a lot of smoking coming out (its a hookah comedy film) and we used an mnh bowl on it and the smoke was insane....Can you send me a picture of how your bowl looks after its packed and also your hole pattern? I can help from there on. Edited November 21, 2007 by RayVer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smarthobo Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 It might be a couple of days before I can post a picture...However, looking at the video, that looks almost the same size as the bowl I purchased... except I paid for a "large"...hmmm.....

gaia.plateau Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Do you guys find that this bowl gets dirtier, or gets dirty faster than ceramic bowls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayVer Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 (edited) yes since it glass gunk develops in it. not a problem its easy to wash off. dump some powder dish detergent (not liquid) on it and leave it submerged in water for a few hours. Thats what I do when its real dirty...otherwise after a session I wipe it with a damp sponge. make sure not to apply cold water to the bowl when its hot or it'll crackQUOTE (gaia.plateau @ Nov 20 2007, 08:43 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Do you guys find that this bowl gets dirtier, or gets dirty faster than ceramic bowls?

RayVer Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 yeah dont put it over the mod..put it around it. and pack it down a little..just a slight push. I'm smoking with the mnh funnel right now loaded with Fumari house blend and the smoke is amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
