Medium Phunnel


Recommended Posts

I'll start off by quickly saying that my girlfriend ordered me a a medium one instead of a small one.

Anyhow, according to hookahcompany.com it holds 60-70 grams of shisha. I was wondering if it would make a significant difference in the way it smokes if I underpacked it some, or if I should go ahead and just order a small one as well. I also plan on ordering a scalli mod because I know that slightly decreases the amount of shisha they hold and makes them smoke better in general.

The phunnels HC has are Tangiers phunnels, in which case saying 60-70g is a huge overshot... its more like 25-30g of shisha if you pack it full to the top. The small one, while holding less, still holds around 20-25g roughly.

In my experience I have found that you can slightly underpack these, but if you significantly underpack them then you'll want to use a scalli mod to get an efficient burn. Some people have mentioned using half a phunnel in the past (i.e. filling the phunnel U-shaped, then only poking holes and placing coals on that side of the bowl) as opposed to getting a scalli mod.

Personally I always fill the bowls up even if I'm only having a short smoke. I find the quality and flavor of the smoke to be way better that way as compared to underpacking and using a mod.

Oh, additional note... if you're using Tangiers shisha, then because of the way its typically packed its closer to 50-60g in there depending on how tight you pack it. Any other brands I've used are still at the 25-30g mark.

I have a medium and I use a scalli. I end up using about 30g, but as jfaltous says the flavor comes out a whole lot better. Definitely get the scalli.
