WitlockGuitarist Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Hey I've been hearing a lot about the phunnel bowls lately and how great they are and I was thinking of purchasing one. However, I have heard a few things about the new Vortex bowl.....so I wanted to get some opinions and see which one provides a better smoking experience which makes us all very happy! So if you have any knowledge or have smoked either type of bowl some assistance would be nice, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joytron Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 http://www.hookahforum.com/?showtopic=24001not sure if this is going to help but I had the same question and am going with the phunnel (I am sure they both work well but have read better reviews on the phunnel and like the way it looks more.)

melanko Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I'm using a Vortex right now and it's great. Good air flow and holds the 'juice.' But I'm sure a funnel is just as good if not better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copy cat.i'd agree with boulder, go with the original, why have small holes in the middle when you can just have one big one in the middle like the phunnel. I don't get the point of the vortex. I am sure it works well but I'd vote phunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get the point of the vortex. I am sure it works well but I'd vote phunnel.I mentioned this before, I think the vortex is essentially just a Phunnel bowl with a built in Scalli Mod. If you know you wanna use the "mod" then get either the phunnel with the mod or the vortex, if you're unsure go with the phunnel (I'd go with a phunnel either way due to the flexibilty of both). Plus, like boulder and matt said...stick with the original IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flick92 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Flavor seems to last longer with the funnel bowl and makes an easier clean up.Go with the funnel bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldog_916 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Get the one that you like better and you think you'll get more use out of. I own a phunnel and love it. But it uses a shitload of shisha and I'm not about to get some silly mod. If the Vortex holds less shisha and you arent going to be smoking Tangiers, then go with the Vortex imo. If you want to smoke Tangiers with most of us, phunnel for the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillyIsJustKidding Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 If you usually have solo sessions or don't like using too much tobacco (phunnels pack way too much imo for solo smokes), get the Vortex.But, let's just say you DO have a phunnel but wanna use less shisha, get a scalli mod. I did th same thing and I am very happy Now, I don't go as crazy with those 50 gram packs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename067 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 You can not beat the design and the genius behind the Phunnel Bowl.I personally thought of an idea like the Vortex about a month before they came out..I spoke about it with a friend of mine and then 1 month later its out lol.
