supersubby Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 so last night i want to this place called Carthage lounge for all you Chicago-ans its on foster in the city near Lawrence. by far the best hookah i'v had he used a regular mod bowl slightly over packed and with a pretty neat hole pattern. the bowl lasted 3 hours and i only had to use 1 ql at a time. great billowing smoke the whole time. ok anyway I'm going back this week to watch them pack it in front of my own eyes il take pics of it but in the mean time this is the pattern. I think he used a toothpick and not too many holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplexCoda Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Kinda cool hole idea, but i think i missed the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersubby Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 sorry i guess i wanted to know what you guys thought.. later on i was thinking he used a vortex bowl maybe. cuz it was over packed and what not.. the bowl stayed full and flavorful even the starbuzz was crazy flavorful. so what do you think vortex or a regular mod bowl can actually be this good??

NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 it would be impossible to know what kind of bowl it was unless you ask them..but i will give that hole pattern a try tonite and see how it goes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigle Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 It looks like a good pattern and great for air flow i think i will try this on my next bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersubby Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 remember to over pack the bowl a little bit not tangiers over pack but a lil over the brim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I think with good packing (doesn't matter how you do it as long as it works) and even better heat management, you can get a great smoke from pretty much any bowl you so desire.It just requires practice, practice.

Stuie Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 That's what I do on my Egyptian and Mod Bowls, great for air flow and helps reduce ash falling in the bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 ***UPDATE*** the first 30 minutes was great..but then it got harsh..this was with a vortex bowl..i will it again with a regular km bowl.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TizaNabi Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Seeing how fast the hookah product industry progresses, really Vortex bowls took of and flew sky high in a very short ammount of time. Here in our corner of the Middle-East we use the Chinese bowls that were standard until just a few years back. I'm hoping to see them sold here, as shisha is sold on the streets locally everywhere!I've been seeing hole patterns for a long time each person has the right combination for their various coals,shisha brands and bowls.

Hobbs Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Well I just gave this a whirl on a regular Mya bowl with my Mya Razo and the results weren't spectacular, I packed it a bit tighter than usual and did your hole pattern with 1 QL. Perhaps I did it a bit wrong, I'll try again once you update us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiceAndBlue Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I used to do something very similar to this, but I found that just doing 2 rings around the edge worked best for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
