I Can't Get This Glass Screen To Work!

[Raziel510]

So I bought a glass phunnel bowl and a glass screen from MNH and the bowl is great but I can't seem to get the glass screen to properly heat up the rest of the bowl. I put three HC cocunut charcoals on there and it will warm up the screen for a bit a give me good smoke, but I can never keep that heat going. It seems that I have two problems

1.) without any holes in the glass screen (save for the one in the middle) the coals keep dying on me because there's no airflow going over them to keep them hot.

2.) I can warm up the bowl and it will give me decent clouds for about 10 min, then as the coals die (see #1) the bowl cools off. Also, I can't ever get the smoke to be as thick as when I use foil.

Here's my setup:

KM Malak
MNH Glass Phunnel Bowl
Glass screen
Nammor hose
Tangiers lucid tobacco
HC Coconut charcoals (was using CoCoNaras before but they would die within minutes on the glass screen without airflow)

Any help would be really appreciated guys. Thanks!

Don't have a glass screen or glass bowl, but throw a wind cover over it and create more heat when you need it.

i was wondering if this would happen so i havent bought one yet so yea someone answer

[Raziel510]

I wish i could. Unfortunately my windcover doesn't fit over the phunnel. It's too tall

What's too tall? the windcover or the funnel?

If it's the funnel, you can use a can (like a tin of starbuzz) to make the windcover taller. You just have to cut the bottom of the can and put the windcover on top of the can.

There's a thread somewhere of this with pictures of this method

I..dont know what you are talking about..

My coals stay flaming orange on top of the screen..weather it be Exoticas or Cocos..

You shouldn't worry though..as long as heat is being generated from the coals [up until the coal it selfs dies], then you should be ok.

it works for me. but now my glass screen has tiny scratches in it and i cant remove the dirt. so its back to foil

the screen does have that problem of impossible to clean I rarely use it but if you boil it for a while it comes off easily but that is a pain in the ass

or put it into the mouthwash about 30 minutes, then scrub it softly. It's work for me.

The glass screen worth getting?
