Phunnel Bowl


Recommended Posts

Is it really as great as I hear? I just ordered a new hookah from hookaholic, and I might want to get one of these to augment it.

And since I'll be smoking outside exclusively (dorm life) until next fall (and possibly past then) would it be possible to rig the windscreen from this bowl (http://www.hookah-shisha.com/store/pc/configurePrd.asp?idcategory=27&idproduct=980) onto it?

I didn't like the idea of it at first (still a little confused) but after the mod, I'm sold.

(how does it work if you're not pulling hot air from the coals over the shisha?)

Buy a phunnel, but dont plan on using that windcover bowl with it. Hell I wouldn't even buy one of those windcover bowls to begin with, especially since it uses a screen instead of foil. Screen's just dont work well at all with the exception of the glass ones, stick to foil for everything and buy a regular windcover for that phunnel bowl. And just remember you may need to modify the new windcover to work with the phunnel just due to how tall the phunnels are.

Step 1) Buy A tangier's medium Phunnel, A Tangiers small phunnel and a glass screen from mnh.com.

Step 2 ) Then smoke in your dorm all you want to because hookah smoke doesn't set off smoke alarms (Trust me I've been doing it since I was a freshman and am now a Junior),

Step 3) Don't get caught because you'll get fined

if you are worried about setting off an alarm, we used to tape a grocery bag to the alarm and a towel on the bottom of the door. never got caught.

and yes the phunnel is an instant buy. get the biggest wind cover you can or one of those fez hat ones or it might not fit depending on your hookah.

You'll be fine smoking inside a dorm as long as you don't have a punk ass RA come in and bust yah.

Don't worry about the smoke alarm, it won't go off. If you are concerned about it, go ahead and do the trash bag trick over the alarm. Just make sure to take it off after you're done.

The phunnel bowl will be one of the best investments for your hookah. It's just so much easier to deal with. As long as you have a decent sized wind cover you should be fine.

Yeah I've smoked in my dorm room a few times this year, it's not that sketch.
The portable coil stove works great, just put it next to window

As for the phunnel bowl, definitely a good choice. You can smoke longer, less harsh, and none of that shitty coal taste

your going to want to avoid starting ql inside your room though...definately open a window and hang them out while they are lighting.


3ks aren't bad at all


3kings are the only coals i would use in a dorm room, i would still light them with the window open.

Definatly buy a small funnel. I faked the funnel for a while (there is a link for how to do it somewhere) but i would never smoke out of a normal bowl again (i tried and messed it all up). Best investment you will ever make for your hookah..... I lost mine for like 2 days (left it at a friends house) and wanted to cry. Without a doubt it is a must

does this apply to both tangier's phunnels AND the chinese replica ones? or are the tangier's ones way better?

Tangier ones are overall better quality, ceramic, and have a very thick glaze. I haven't used a chinese one so I can't attest to how they are, but from what I gather they're cheaper, and use lesser quality materials, not to mention a lot of Chinese items are still manufactured with lead paint... that would suck hella bad to be smoking lead paint.. but I could be wrong.

AHHHH! shit i didnt even think of that....but, it is a glaze, and i dunno if they can even make them with lead in it. i think all glazes are essentially made of the same ingredients since they have to be fired in a kiln -right? RIGHT?!?!?! lol

i only ask cause i bought one....please tell me it isnt so!

Synesthesia, it was more of a jest at Chinese manufactured products, but look at Mya's they're great, so you're probably fine.. let us know how it is, I'm sure a few people are curious.

1) Put a damp hand towel over your smoke alarm and tie a plastic bag over that.
2) Lock the door********
3) Open a window and light your coals
4) Enjoy


I haven't been caught yet, and I have had quite a few sketchy RA's that do random checks.

Oh and as for the phunnel...do it...ask nothing more just complete your order. You will understand why everybody loves these bowls when ya get it.

I just got my Phunnel yesterday. Wow. What a difference. All I can say is it should be standard equipment. This is what it is all about. Smooth smooth smooth, with clouds, all the way to 3 hours, still moisture left in the shisha when I cleaned up, and these bowls clean up really easy.
I'm going to buy a few more, just in case I break one.
