Arcane Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) soooo, i bought a mini phunnel off a member and found out it holds the same amount as my small. the mini isn't quite mini, however...i noticed it's a bit narrower and deeper than my small. so, if i took a 1/4" off the top...it'd probably be a nice sized mini.jon had his phunnel modded by Hobbs, with some fancy shmancy diamond cut something or other. i'm thinking of just going with sandpaper, water, and a little elbow grease. will there be any adverse effects on my bowl if i do this?

Victim026 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 If your gonna do it that way I'd suggest getting a sanding block so you can at least make sure it's even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotsi95 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Hobbs did it with a tile cutter i think. See if someone local can do that. Itd be hard in S. Korea probably though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuburbanSmoker Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 post pics once you do it, im curious if itll work/ come out clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) it'll probably be done today...or at least, part of it will be done today. just going to set up my hookah, bring the laptop out and get to sanding for about an hour or however long it'll take. i think the hardest part will be getting through the glaze..btw, i got 60, 100, 150, and 220 grit sandpaper. i figure it's the same as lapping a heatsink.

Victim026 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Like I said, just use a sanding block so it's even and you *should* be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 are you talking about hold the phunnel upright, and running the sanding block along the top? if so, that will probably take a lot longer since i won't be able to apply to same amount of pressure as holding the bowl upside and sanding on the table...

Hobbs Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I used a diamond blade wet saw. Personally, I would never attempt this by hand... because just grinding down the center piece with a dremel tool took down close to nothing after 30 minutes with a coarse sanding stone.But if you still plan on tackling it, I would wet sand.. that way you can get a cleaner finish, reduce mess, and avoid and chips in the ceramic. If there are any rental places around that had a tile saw you should ask if they had a problem with you cutting 1 thing, it would take less than 2 minutes and that it'd be a big favor.

Arcane Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 damn...that sucks. and i don't think i'll find a place like that in korea...at least, none that i would trust. i know there's a metal shop place, but i doubt that'll be an ideal situation.

Arcane Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 so...after 20 minutes of sanding...this is what i got so far.sorry IV, i know your heart is probably breaking right now...but, i paid for a mini...and i'd like one and Hobbs is right...tackling this by hand is going to take some work. i'm most likely going to go off base and find someone that could do it for me.

Arcane Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) [attachment=3390:IMG_3097.JPG]and just for reference, here's how much shisha is packed in my larger small (yeah, i had to represent my 619 tat, sorry...lol): [attachment=3388:IMG_3099.JPG]and here's how much is left if i pack a KM egyptian:[attachment=3389:IMG_3100.JPG] Edited April 7, 2009 by arcane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchard Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Theres normal packing in my small. Looks like a little less than yours.Sorry, the webcam has to work haha. Can't find my cam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't find my cam.hey mitch....is that actually tangiers packed as in, you packed it down and everything? it actually looks like quite a bit less than mine because it's spread out.hmmmm...anyways, if you notice there's a makeshift line dividing your shisha...the bottom half is what i'd like my mini to use.edit: also, do you consider your small an actual small?

Arcane Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) better example...the bigger mass is the larger small and the smaller mass is my normal small i guess. and the shisha surrounded in red is around what i'd like my mini to use. the shisha is layered a little over 1/4" thickness.

NimbleCow Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 This is a tangent but your red area is way more than I could pack into my MNH Mini Glass Phunnel. You could consider going glass if you want to get real small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchard Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Yeah, that was packed. And yeah, I did spread it out a bit. I wish I knew how big my small one is in comparison to other tangiers smalls. This small is near the size of my medium. I can't find my scale right now (as its probably in my roommates room right now) but if I remember to in the morning i'll pack a bowl and see what it comes out to. I'll give the medium a shot too and see how much I can out in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a cliche affair Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) Arcane, how much shisha do you pack when packing lucid? I know you're supposed to pack OG hard, but thats a hell of a lot of shisha regardless. Edited April 7, 2009 by a cliche affair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 i just recently started packing my lucid like Scoop's method and am getting a ridiculous amount of smoke. but before that, it was just pick it up and place it in the bowl even with the rim and foil. a lot of flavor and great clouds. but, i like scoop's method for lucid...even though the flavor doesn't seem that strong.

Arcane Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 so an update: after more sanding, a shot with the dremel and some stupid idea with a drill...i'm not much farther along.so, i was hoping for a favor from the HF community. would anyone have access to a shop that could mod my mini phunnel? i'm looking for a 1/4" trim off the top and to have the phunnel just a smidge lower than the rim. i'll cover shipping to you, plus some shisha as payment for the trip back to me.a little help pls.

ilikemyusername Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 i used a dremmel to chop my small to a mini, it was a bitch, but i persevered and got it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 You can get diamond-tipped Dremel tools. Thats what we use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
