Elky Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I've noticed that everyone who isn't using a phunnel or some other specialty bowl sticks to egyptian bowls and clay bowls. The bowls I have gotten with my hookahs have both been "modern" bowls like the one shown. I've never hasd any kind of problem with them so I just wanted to know why everyone seems to prefer the other types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 i used to have one, long time ago, never liked the way the bowls heated up compared to the clay ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOneNonlyTK Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 (edited) i have one that i use when im not using my phunnel bowl and i don't think it's bad it gets the job done Edited March 3, 2008 by TheOneNonlyTK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hungry hungry puffer Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 with egyptian bowls you dont have to pack so much shisha as compared to the modern bowls.also the egytian bowls are much easier to manage the heat, cuz the bowl is so small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkel! Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Modern bowls suck, because the area that sits on the stem isn't deep enough, or is too wide to sit properly. Who wants to wrap a piece of paper towel around the grommet each session just so it sits and seals correctly. My small super chief has a wide deep area the fits the grommet perfectly. Also as mention before ceramic heats up bad and can burn shisha. My Egyptian clay bowl has never done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff_T Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I'm a fan of my mod bowl. Although I normally use my phunnel, if I want a quick session or I'm testing a flavor I'll fake a phunnel in the mod and smoke away. No problems with heat management and I usually let the bowl cool off for a few min before grabbing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staygone Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 They sit shitty on my Paragon. The mya, egyptian, phunnel, and super chief all fit perfecto.-QM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoalition Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 i have a few of those but the phunnel just works for everything. if i want to switch from tangy to af to tangy again i can use one bowl and not 2. its convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Old Me Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Those are pretty much the only bowls I use, although I have 2 Egyptian bowls on the way (mostly to have a few spares around). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikon1323 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 hahah hell i got one with my new hookah which is a syrian and it fits perfect.....ive smoke out of it about 3-4 times and i think its fine works great i still get huge hits and it seems like it uses most of the shisha i pack in it....i also have my mya bowl that came with my QT which fits on my new hookah but it sits up toward the top of the stem but still fits...i like it to....works well......idk i think they both work nice..no problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel510 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I just recently got a mod bowl and I love it so far. Beats the hell out of the Mya bowl that came with my Mya Phalcor. I like that I can pack more shisha into the bowl and have a longer session. I might try a phunnel bowl later on but for now, I got no problems with my mod bowl.

supersubby Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 im in love with the mya standard bowl...or the km bowls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shisha fan Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 i had one of those with a windcover on it, and the airflow through the bowl just isn`t good. maybe its because the bowl is too shallow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Devils Playground Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Mod bowls rule. Its all we use here. I have tried them all well all I can find and sure enough they rock. I guess part of the reason is becasue we have 12 around here preloaded so I pop off a bowl and drop a bowl on so I never have to worry about changing a hot bowl.I like the mod bowl because you can have the perfect 1 bowl 1 coal. The world has spoken. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikon1323 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 yea there great for like 1 coal....they last like 45mins like one coal...with my mya bowl i could put a new coal on but after like 15-20mins it gets way to harsh to smoke so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 (edited) Hmmm. I use a wide and deep bowl which I adore Nahkla seems to really love this bowl too. Two hours with six jap -or- exotica 1/4's is perfect. [First Pic - Darker Bowl]For other tobacco's I use a deep bowl with a slight lip over the top of the bowl [It's supposed to help reduce burning] Again this bowl goes two hours no problem. 2 exotica 1/4's or three jap coals at a time [Second Pic - Lighter Bowl] Edited March 4, 2008 by Johnny_D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaia.plateau Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I like those little bowls, great for a short session and I've never, ever wasted even the teensiest bit of shisha with them. Smoking out of one right now, in fact, with AF Cappuccino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy1966 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I have 3 modern bowls and I like them and I use them, but you do have to be careful with heat management. I do prefer the Egyptian clay bowls over them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leadpipecinch21 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 for the past year or so i'd been using my mya bowl non stop...it broke the other day so i had to bust out my mod bowl...i just really don't like how shallow and wide it is...i need to use more coal to get it going, but it gets harsh with that much coal on it, so i have to take some off and waste the coal...i'd rather just my mya bowl.bah, i need a new one.

r1v3th3ad Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 aaa, so thats my bowl lolI've had a mod bowl since the beginning of time lolbut really, as long as I've owned my hookah, thats what I've had, came with it.I don't like it just because it wobbles/doesn't fit right. I get a great smoke out of it, but too many burnt carpets. As soon as I have the money, I'm upgrading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
