Canon Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 if i could buy tobacco wholesale then i wouldnt have a problem loading up a big bowl and smoking it all day. but i dont, so i use the small phunnel and smoke 2 bowls a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John, the reason why I requested it when I ordered from you recently is because I don't want to waste shisha and I usually smoke alone. My sessions last maybe an hour and a half to 2 hours tops, because I'm usually busy with a million other things.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxik916 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I love having a mini phunnel because I don't have the urge to smoke for more than 2 hours at a time. I just get bored with it after a while, and like others have said being broke effects how much money I can spend on coals and shisha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezxen Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 im thinking about investing in a small. I can only pack a good bowl of tangeirs 40% of the time . just bout some mc from john friday and i have mayby 2-3 bowls left (large) so saving some shisha sound appealing. also I smoke almost all my shisha from my phunnel and i normally like to smoke 20-40 in afternoons and 30 to an hour at night solo or with my girlfriend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SynysterPhoenix Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I got 2 smalls from you, and one was significantly larger than the other. I like the smaller one because.1)Saves me shisha2)Easier for me to manage my coals.3)Smokes better for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agstevens Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I saw that a small lasts 2-3 hours and i don't normally smoke more than an hour even with friends. I figured it would be wasting shisha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ih303 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 We got in an MZ at the lounge the other day with an egyptian bowl on it that absolutely blew my mind. It's head was only about an inch in diameter! We thought it was the funniest thing ever and coined the tagline, "for the smoker on the go!" This was the joke of the night and we got laughs from everyone we showed it to, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized I NEEDED THAT BOWL!Like many of you probably are, I AM a smoker on the go. Everyday, I go home on my lunch hour and load a bowl to smoke for about 45min. I feel very wasteful loading a phunnel for that amount of time.I'm not sure why the mini phunnel hasn't become a regular Tangiers product. I'd even go so far as to prefer a mini super-chief and just pack it like a traditional bowl. I think a bowl with like a 8-10g capacity would be fantastic. I mean, I'd buy one.

fcbayern Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 QUOTE (Sonthert @ Apr 26 2009, 08:49 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>I much prefer the large, the smoke is fatter from a large. If you don't use all the tobacco, you can relight it or just scrape the top dry layer and repack it, using the old bottom.I have never smoked a large, but I can say that I preffer my Med over my small anyday. It just smokes better, more smoke, fuller clouds. And I do like Eric says, I just take off the coals when I'm done. When I wnat to smoke again I just put new coals on. It actually saves me shisha this way. And the time of repacking a bowl..That is all..It seems fit we resurect old threads from the dead just before Halloween..

LIQUIDGSR Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Yeah I would have to say its great for saving shisha, the session doesn't last too long, and it saves coals. I like to clean my hookah and bowl out after every session so i don't like leaving tobacco in there to caramlize and harden. I rather just put a fresh batch in smoke it when I want to smoke. I also don't smoke for long periods, maybe 30min to an hour. I love using my Mini Olive wood bowl and mini mnh glass bowls, but if I could find a mini tangiers for 30+ shipping I would buy it. I have two large phunnels and they both smoke way too long and way too much tobacco. So yeah that why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Here's my problem for the last, I don't know, long ass time. Every time i put a second round of coals on.... Tastes like ash and smokes HARSH! so little waste of shisha is a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIQUIDGSR Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Thats true. My olive wood bowl can go with one CH quick light on there and I can smoke it down pretty good then probably get another coal on there. I can get that bowl to smoke with less than 10g of shisha for about and hour to an hour and half. The MNH mini isn't as great and it probably will hold 15-20g packed and smokes for a good bit but heating it up takes a minute. I can't wait to try a Tangiers one day and see what thats like. Everyone says its smokes really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookie The Hookah Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I NEVER once have been able to cake a tangiers bowl from top to bottom. The other night I did a marathon 5 gc sticks on ILTOBC w/ a medium phunnel and there was still ~30% left in the bowl. The issue I have with the medium phunnel is that I don't really get to the point where it's like "ok I'll pack a new bowl" which is something that I love doing in social settings. IMO you want to throw around as many flavors as possible when you're socially smoking, it adds to the experience big time especially for non-regular smokers (or non-tangiers smokers ).

TiLLooR Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I only ever smoke a bowl for an hour tops so its good for me not to waste a lot of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingsMaster Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 smaller for me cause i dont want to waste alot of shisha, smokes the same to me. plus im a poor college student lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinky Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I think larger bowls for Tangiers isn't a big deal. You can put the juicy tobacco back in the tube or pack fresh on top. And they sell smallest with 250g. But I also like buying 50g packages of different stuff to try it. If you pack a small you almost need the hole 50g. This leaves no room for a fail, because you don't have enough left for a second bowl. Buying 250g unknown shisha and realizing you don't like it is anoying. I like the mini for short sessions and try-outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a bowl that is designed to smoke for 30 min to an hour. I really like the idea of a super-chief because even though the holes are in the bottom of the bowl, the slight trough would seem to help to prevent the normal problem of the juices running into the base in a trad style head.Watching the anticipation and subsequent ordering mania that existed with Eric's limited mini-phunnel run, I'm sure I'm not alone on this.

ryno Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I personally miss my first small phunnel bowl. It was the same diameter as a recent medium, but deeper and could smoke 3 full sets of coals with AF. Now, I'm lucky to get 2 out of a medium. Thats part of the reason I put my mini up for trade, great bowl, I just like to smoke longer. Want a shorter session? Try an Egyptian head, I promise they work great.
