Mini Phunnel Almost The Same Size As Small Phunnel?


Recommended Posts

To those who have used the mini phunnel, do they appear to be almost the same size as the small phunnel? The few difference that I have noticed thus far are the circumference on the mini is slightly smaller than the small, the phunnel hole in the mini almost sits almost flush with the rim of the bowl, and the mini's bowl depth is deeper than the small. Maybe the small phunnel I bought last year was made smaller?

Have any of you made this observation? I haven't had a chance to post pics yet but I will.

I know they are handmade and every phunnel is unique in its own way, but I was curious if anybody received a mini that was almost the size of a small. Also, with as much shisha that it takes to fill the mini above the phunnel hole, there's not much difference between how much my small and mini can hold.

Are you absolutely sure? Some of them seemed bigger but not by that much.

I will take some pictures after work of some different angles so that you can see. Like I said earlier, maybe the small phunnel I bought was made smaller and the mini phunnel was made larger.

I have seen some really small smalls....my buddy has one. and some of the minis did come out a bit larger so I can see this happening.

Yeah my mini holds almost as much as my smaller small (its almost the exact same amount actually). My other "small", however, is right in between my smaller small and a medium....if that's not confusing.

I, too, have noticed the reduced diameter, but increased depth, kinda the opposite of what you would want in a bowl.

I have 2 smalls Small(A) my first small phunnel was perfect Small( B ) I got was about a 1/4inch smaller in circumference and a lot thicker around the edges so right there I am loosing some area to put shisha in. My Mini Is I would say 1/8th of an inch smaller then Small( B ) and a bit shallower. I still go back to my first small for the better smokes. Small( B ) and Mini and look like the same size to the naked eye, and they generally smoke the same. Edited by newjacksm

Stuie saw the small glass phunnel I got from MN a few weeks ago and he has a new mini. He said his mini was not much bigger in diameter than a 33mm Three Kings. So I'm not sure if I am confused about the bowls we're talking about here but I think so.
Are there the glass small and mini's from MN?

Pics to compare. I used the same amount of shisha to fill up the mini and the small. The mini takes just a tiny bit less shisha then the small.

just fill both bowls and then empty the shisha out next to each other. or use water and measure in a measuring cup.

anything like that should work.

Is there a point to fill both bowls with shisha and empty next to each other? Since I first filled the mini phunnel then used that same shisha amount to fill the small? There really is only a small difference.

Just completed the water test. I had nothing in my kitchen (other than tbsp and tsp) that could do a measurement that small. Both used the same amount of water to fill the bowls... less than a 1/4 cup.

I did the water bit with my mini and my superchief. Granted, the shisha in the chief is going to be a bit above the holes, but I suspect it holds less by volume than my mini. I had to fill it with water twice to get it to equal the capacity of the mini. Damn, the mini's still gorgeous!

my mini is waaaay smaller than the one you are taking pics of. I had a small for a long long time, and my mini is in fact tiny compared to my small. Just like IV said they are all handmade so sizes will fluctuate.
