Sherwood Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Due to my fortunate physical proximity to Santino and his wise decision to us the US Postal Service, I'm expecting mine Saturday. Video review? We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherwood Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Santino delivered, and how!I got my custom phunnel in the mail yesterday, and smoked myself dizzy playing with it. I'm hardly an expert at the moment, so I'll wait a bit to tell you all about my technique with this bowl, but I can definitely provide some pictures and impressions. FWIW, I paid $25 for mine, which is extremely reasonable. One with more custom work would be more expensive, but I'm a man of simple tastes First off, a picture of my bowl:I requested the symbol, but the ring of blue around the bottom was a surprise to me, and a nice touch. The symbol on there is something of an homage to one of my favorite places I've lived:To me this bowl is a wonderful marriage between the shisha quantity and ease of use you get from an Egyptian, and the quality of smoke you get from a phunnel. I had a little Al Fakher Vanilla / Tangiers Orange Soda mix I really liked laying around. There wasn't enough left to fill my small phunnel, and I liked it too much to throw it in an Egyptian, so the Santino Phunnel seemed the perfect option:I'd estimate about 20g of shisha in there. I smoked it for about 90 minutes before I was done, and it probably had another 30 minutes left in it. This amount of time is absolutely perfect for me. For anyone who missed out on a mini-phunnel, or would simply like a high-quality, short duration bowl I'd say this is a great option.Having loaded it up and started two CH naturals, I put it on my beloved KM:It fits snugly, and is about 1 1/2" shorter than my small Tangiers phunnel. It might even fit in a standard windcover, but I only have a tall, and it fits just fine in there.The blue color matches my setup nicely, I think...And, of course, it smokes wonderfully. Heat management was easy with 2 CH natural coconut coals. Place them on the sides, hanging off a bit, and smoked for probably 15 minutes without having to move them. Ashed them off, put them back on, and put on a windcover when necessary to start them back up. The bowl held heat very well, and transferred it to the shisha in a fashion similar to my small Tangiers Phunnel, and much better than my Chinese phunnel.I smoked Starbuzz Pink, Al Fakher Vanilla, and Tangiers Sour out of it today. The Tangiers session was more difficult than the other two. I'm still working on how to smoke tang properly with this bowl -- when I get it down, I'll let you all know.I almost forgot -- this will have to do for the obligatory "in action" pic:Any questions, friends?

ProbablyTaken Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I was just in to see Santino today and got a look at these as we were talking. Very nice looking and I am thinking I might need to get one at some point. I was very impressed with the quality and he had quite a bit of other glass work there that matched its quality. Probably doesn't hurt that I am like 12 blocks from Santino but I think I will be dealing with him more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherwood Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I'll just send this back up top. Two+ months of daily use out of my crown bowl from Santino, and it smokes like an absolute champ still. I'm going to get at least one more, because when I eventually drop and break mine I am going to want another on hand immediately. Great work, Santino. Love it.

indian_villager Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 So I picked one up from Santino in person....the one coal bowl. And I am surprised to how well it works. (Preliminary tests conducted with Naklah). I ran a full coco on it and it easily could have gone another. This thing is great for those solo smoke nights. Full write up on the horizon.

indian_villager Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I swung by his place only for an hour or two. He is a real awesome guy. I wish I could have stuck around longer and seen what SLC has to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
