I Just Chipped My Brand New Phunnel Bowl


Recommended Posts

So I was trying to fix the grommets so that my phunnel bowl would seal properly. I ended up putting my regular size grommet inside of the phunnel bowl grommet or else it would just fall over and was loose. I pushed the bowl down and it slammed down on the ashtray..and chipped :|

I got it to work ONCE very well and 1 bowl lasted for hours. I can't get my bowl sealed anymore! It's a centimeter long chip on the very bottom. Is there anything specific that's good for sealing something like that ? Im assuming something heat resistant.

Epoxy that sucker up, and you're good to go. Is this a Tangiers phunnel? Or the Chinese one?


I believe the Chinese one, it's really tall for a bowl hah. Epoxy..eh? Im not to familiar with using that but where do I get it?( I feel dumb for asking)

You can get it at most any home improvement or hobby store really, just make sure you read the label... some types aren't safe near high heat, but most should be fine.


True, would it be cheaper to buy a new bowl ( I bought it for $14 )?


Nope, epoxy comes in pretty small quantities costing only like $5... plus you'd be using very little. I'd keep it around in case of other unfortunate bowl accidents, it works wonders.

you must've been pushing VERY hard if it "slammed" down and chipped. you should never use much force with anything on your hookah.
but anyway, i would just buy a new one. they arent very expensive.

Take a strip of a napkin or paper towel, dampen it, and wrap it around the top of the pipe. Put the bowl on there and that should fix you up until you get a new one. This works almost every time. Be sure not to get the towel too damp though, otherwise it will turn when you put the bowl on, or it will rip.
