pyrex bowls

[Silent Knight]

hey guys, I have a quick question.  have any of you smoked out of
the pyrex bowls (sahara smoke has a bunch of them)?  are they any
good or do they get too hot?  thanks for your help.

Silent:
Simply typing "pyrex" in the search engine would have given you this:
[url="http://www.hookahforum.com/forum/search.asp?KW=pyrex&SI=PT&OB=1"] http://www.hookahforum.com/forum/search.as...sp?KW=pyrex&SI=[/url] PT&OB=1
And you might have already had an answer.
The search engine is your friend...

hmmm.......

I know that you're pretty keen on reminding people of the search
engine, but in this case I feel that he was justified in starting a new
post. I got to this one by typing in "pyrex" after seeing the bowl at
Social Smoke's website, and most of what came up was "in theory" about
buildup of black stuff on the inside - all simply cosmetic and also not
from actual experiences. Maybe I missed the posts on how well the bowls
seem to work for those that have them, but in case there's none so far
I'll go ahead and bump the thread with the question:
Does anybody have experience with the Pyrex bowls that come with
included glass screens? Are these screens removable, how well do they
work, etc. cuz I'm thinking about purchasing one as well but don't want
to drop 30 bucks without first knowing if anybody has had bad
experiences. Thanks..

Yeah, I had done the search thing, and everything I saw was mostly
theorized (is that even spelled right?) stuff.  I wanted to see if
any one had actually used one.  It has the potential to be really
good, but I was worried about the temperature messing things up or
burning shisha.  I'm opening a hookah lounge in a few days and I
was thinking about using the pyrex bowls for our premium shisha (you
know it's all in the presentation).  But it doesn't seem anyone
has any experience with it, and I could see why, they're pretty damn
expensive.  Any way I'm rambling on now.  Thanks for the help.

what exactly is the point of a pyrex bowl?

I was thinking it would be nice to not have to mess with either screens
or foil. It's a bonus that they look pretty sweet, with the smiley and
all =)

I like mine, and i know Apoc enjoys his. It cool cause you can see the
smoke build up in it and swirl around before and after a hit.
I got mine from hookahcompany its a smileys bowl with a little glass
screen with 3 pencil eraser size holes. It seems like it would get lots
of ash and stuff in there but to tell you the truth, with an abu hitam
japanese coal, its alot easier to manage heat with, considering all my
holes are the same every time. It looks beautiful and isnt covered up
by foil when im smoking.
