delSol_si Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) I bought a small. I was kinda pissed when it came in because I wanted the purple one and they sent the turkish brown, but then I looked at the shipping slip and it turned out I forgot to specify the color, so my bad. My small holds like 40-50 grams, as rated. Medium is rated at 60-70, large is rated 70-100. Click here if you want to verify. I couldn't get my phunnel to smoke correctly with that much fucking shisha in there, I was getting crap smoke and wasted a good 80-90% of the shisha. I got a tea light candle, removed the candle, and made a scalli mod. With this, I was it took the capacity down to about 15-20 grams and the session last like an hour and I only wasted a lot less. By waste, I mean unburned shisha in the bottom. I personally either am done after an hour or want to change flavors anyway, so this is perfect for me. Plus, with the mod, the smoke is sooo much better, thicker, and tastier. I think everyone on the board here would agree with the small phunnel.

delSol_si Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) Take a tea light candle, take the candle out, cut triangles or arches in the edges. There are several ways to do this. Here is a youtube vid explaining it a bit better. I personally cut triangles like the guy in the vid, except I cut further up than he does (ie. taller triangles) and I cut more then him. After I cut the triangles, I use my fingers to try and push the middle of the candle thing up (trying to make it dome-like as possible, then place it over the hole as shown. I was going to order an actual mod, but they are like 6 bucks and I am cheap. I don't know who came up with this idea, but it was a great one (I am guessing scalliwag maybe?).

mitchard Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 The small for sure. I was using a medium for so long, and was wasting a lot of shisha for nothing. The small works great for solo smokes, and anything with a couple people around. If there are 6-8 people over and most of us are smoking, i'll bust out the medium.

Sonthert Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 A mod is only important if you want to half-fill the bowl with something other than Tangiers. If small sounds like the right size.Tangiers is less dense than other brands, so I would guess your 20-30g size is about the size of a small phunnel for Tangiers. If you are talking Al Fahker or Starbuzz or something then you would need a mini-phunnel or a small phunnel and mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best baccy I have smoked out of it is Layalina Raspberry, Kiwi, and Blueberry, Blueberry being the best. The worst has been Layalina Strawberry, got great flavor, but barely any smoke at all. I stick to Layalina simply because it is cheap and Codename067 suggests it. After seeing his videos, his advice became very valuable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippo_Master Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Small. Medium is too large for most sessions, large is just too big in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tangiers but as u stated u cant drive so that wont do any good. I can get 3 hours+ on my bowls. Get a small phunnel, nothing bigger. Youll be fine.

Click Here, here, and here. You may also want to click on his profile for youtube.com as he has other nice vids as well. The only reason I didn't post them in the first post is that last time I mentioned his vids, I got bashed and was told everyone had already seen them.
