Brownman18 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 (edited) Ok so i just got my large tangiers phunnel bowl from Hookah-Shisha.com also i had 10 boxes of 250 g nakhla with this order and if any Canadians are reading, lets just say customs definitely dropped the ball because it came through without a hitch! Ok now i understand how to pack this bowl but i am just curious if i should be using the grommet at the end of the stem along with the bowl? or do i just place this bowl directly on the stem without the grommet? I am going to try it now with the grommet/grommel but if i am wrong please specify rather quick as my laptop has this thread on refresh.In other sad news, my nammor hoses are not living up, one of them has started to wear were the tip goes into the hose and its now come loose and is no longer air tight .. all i have done with it is take that mouth piece out when i run water through the hose. But then again on the flip side i have ordered 4 of those new nammor hoses and shall report back a comparison of the old vs the new in a week or so when they arrive! The other two are still going strong however. Edited January 4, 2008 by Brownman18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 ys, use the grommet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Use grommet for sure. A wet paper towel will work well too. Also, Nakhla will not smoke out of a phunnel! Its just built to be smoked out of a standartd head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression any tobacco could be smoked out of a funnel and it just gave better taste due to it holding the juices. What about Al Amir or starbuzz can they be smoked in a funnel?

MechAnt Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 AA and SB will smoke just fine. Damn near any brand will smoke out the phunnel with relative ease. Its just that Nakhla is very try and traditional which cannot be smoked out of a phunnel very well. Ask JD, the master of Nakhla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brownman18 Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 Im afraid you are wrong my friends i am smoking Nakhla Cola out of it right now, and it indeed is smoking better then a traditional bowl, i am getting large draws (i got them off the other bowl as well) but the flavour is definitely stronger through this large funnel bowl!no duty???? time to get crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalSoil Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 you can smoke any shisha out of a Phunnel, i prefer to smoke nakhla out of a standard bowl though.everything else, Phunnel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamjames Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 My recent order from H-S also passed through customs without taxation This is a blessing considering I was spending $15 for a 50 gram pack of Al Fakher at a local store. I wonder if this means retail businesses will be exempt from duties on the tobacco they order. They better lower their prices if it's true. I see no reason you should ever not use a grommet. The more air tight the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Yeah, and if the grommets don't fit, talk to H_S online chat and they will send you free replacemeents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalSoil Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 if they dont fit, use a damp paper towel wrapped around the top of the stem till you get a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
