king_lunchb0x Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 so Gramps posted that small phunnels are back up, i was actually getting an idea, what if I trim some off and make it into more of a mini size phunnel. but now reading this thread it makes me a bit nervous. I mean to ruin a perfectly good bowl. Im hoping eric decides to bring back mini phunnels pretty soon. i may end up doing this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There no bringing them "back" since they were never out. Eric has also expressed that he wont make minis for retail sale. Best bet...call a retailer and ask for their smallest small or pony up and spend the big $$ when someone sells one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen one for sell in a while though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king_lunchb0x Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 ah damn, well at least i know once and for all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotsi95 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 You can also try and find a small from like 08 since they were pretty damn small but even those are going for a pretty penny now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vendetta_revived Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Or talk Eric into making bowls for another group buy and organize it, or have someone trustworthy here do it? I know I'd jump on em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotsi95 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 We just had a GB on .us thats about to finish it will probably be another year for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Unfortunately Mush said no more group buys here on HF, because of a little situation a few years ago involving a ton of Mini Mya Acrylics and a guy who collected the monies but neglected to send any of them out... I agree with what Wade and Christian said. Just pay the money when one pops up is about all you can do. Watch the trades section like a hawk, cause once one if posted, they never last long. The older Smalls are definitely smaller. My '08 Red/Black is just a bit bigger than my Mini Phunnels, but the newer Smalls I've owned were just way too big... I know it sucks, but I don't see Eric reversing this trend (hopefully they don't get any bigger!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vendetta_revived Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Drat! I wonder why they are getting bigger though. I mean I know that Eric doesn't produce mini phunnels as one of his regular lines because they don't perform well according to his standards, but the older smalls must have been performing good enough because they were in production? May be not as well as the new, bigger smalls, but then, that is a slippery slope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Yeah, Eric has said he makes them bigger because he feels they smoke better due to more accurate dimensions, but my old Small and both of my Minis smoke great. I wouldn't ever want a bigger bowl than either of my Minis, to be honest. Most I went on my Mini was 7 hours, and I know for a fact it could have gone even longer than that. The only reason I keep my Small around is because of its color scheme (black/red), and because it's one of the old tower style ones (it's extremely tall to the point my tall windcover won't fit it on my KM). It hardly ever gets used. I wish Eric would bring the Minis retail, but then he would lose money on tobacco sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainUM Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 i bought my mini in late fall/early winter for 50 bucks, but people will charge anything and most likely get it. the one i bought got pulled in in like a day, so they move fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
