BadgerBadger Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 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.

jfaltous Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 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.

jfaltous Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OC4111 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dereksd Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 i love my small i dont smoke with more than 2 people so anything bigger is overkill to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soco9konstantine Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I have a medium and when i use 50g sampler i'll still have a quarter of it left. so i'd say like 30-35 g's. I'd get a small unless you smoke with like 4 or 5 ppl. 35 grams goes a long way in a funnel 2+ hours if you got the heat right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
