megidolaon Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 They seem to be the same concept as the phunnel bowl, but I haven't really read much about them online. I've seen a ton of reviews for the phunnel, and about... two for the vortex that had any actual useful content.Anyone have any wisdom to share on these? Or at least a link to a good video or written review? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jellywerker Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 http://www.hookahforum.com/?showtopic=28606Second page of this section of the forum. Seriously.General consensus seems to be that they are fine, if you get one that has the holes at the top of the bowl, but in general a phunnel is better.

I did a search on several of the forum sections last week for "vortex" and "vortex bowl" and didn't come up with directly related (but a few random mentions). I don't live in these forums, and due to the general lack of hits I found with my search last week, I really did not expect someone else would have brought it up in the last week since I've been here to comb through the posts. Just didn't seem to be a popular topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I smoke by myself a lot though and the size of all the phunnels I've come across & reviews I've watched say those things are kind of huge/a but much for a single person.Thanks for the info!

Bye bye now have fun Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 just get a small chinese phunnel and a bag of 50 tealight candles at walmart for 4$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srawas89 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 honestly the phunnel is probably better but I use a vortex simply because i found it for like $5 at a local store I frequent. I like my vortex and I was fortunate enough to read the issue about the holes before I found it at a local shop and made sure I bought one with the holes higher up. I will say this tho if I could find the phunnel locally and for a slightly cheaper price I would buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I prefer the phunnel over the vortex. Simply because it heats better. I do use my vortex from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do use my vortex from time to time.Comparing pictures of the shapes and such, I can definitely see why that would be. Definitely something for me to keep in mind.
