Throw a plastic bb in there and it purges even better.I will assume that you do not own an Egyptian hookah?Have a KM. The purge whistled annoyingly until I took out the clay ball and put in a ball bearing. It still whistled so I took the bb from my Bambino and put it in there. No more whistling. It purges great. The Bambino purges really well, not as thoroughly as my 31" KM, but still really well. Maybe I just lucked out, I don't know. Read lots of complaints about the Bambino purge but I haven't had a bit of trouble with it until the ball bearing finally got a bit corroded. BB fixed that. I also clean the purge well after every session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I have seen more bowls that are similar to the phunnel than I care to mention. Apparently, these were all developed independently. They weren't looking at a phunnel. Of course, none of them came out until after the phunnel did. Lets put it this way...nobody thought of putting the hole anywhere else other than under the tobacco until I did. Then everybody is coming up with it on their own. Convenient. I'll bet theirs has something to do with the hole being raised off the bottom of the bowl. I think my next bowl will be quite popular...solving several design problems. Make sure it gets patented before anybody sees it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Good Question. I don't know. Prototypes, patents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vqturbo Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Patents can take up to 10 years to pass, Plus all the lawyer fees, patents, and random other things.. But it will give you that 20 year monopoly. Too bad it does nothing for oversea manufacturers to copy your designs regardless... Also i'm not sure why your bambino, purges as well as you say it does, but all my Myas do not purge that well or the bambino that i smoked out of a couple of times... Also no whistle from my KM's either.. Dunno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Nah, most patents are resolved within six months. Drugs and drug patents take that long. It doesn't stop foreign manufacturers from ripping them off...but it certainly will slow down people selling them in the U.S. I am dubious of the results, myself...I just want to see if it makes a difference or its a waste of time and money, if nothing else.

Jabbles180 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Wow, now i have two "top secret" projects i have to keep an eye on! I have to say that I am interested in what MYA is doing and i hope things go well for them. Hopefully some more info will be released soon. Also good luck on your project as well Eric.

liquidglass Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Even if you decided to sell them before the patent passed then (if my knowledge is correct, patents aren't my specialty) then you could release it under a patent pending stamp which if you have the earliest record date of the pending patent no one could impede upon it.

(too many P's in that line)If you submit the patent application, that is true. You can submit the patent application up until one year after the release of the item. Of course, if you release it, waiting for a patent, somebody else could come along and file a patent application and gum up the works with lawyers fees and make it more costly and troublesome...even though they lose...

arzan87 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Prototypes , patents.. I'm assuming you have a prototype if you're considering a patent. I'll buy 3 prototypes from you without even seeing them if I can get my hands on it faster. As much as I like MYA Hookahs, I've never liked anything they made in the bowl category, and I'm super excited now on your new bowl designs!! Phunnels got my hooked on shisha, I really can't wait to see what you throw out nextP.S Please make the "small" version of whatever it is readily available. IMO the "Small" and "Large Phunnel bowls hit the spot, the mediums ... they just don't do it for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something to do about if you're in a place that doesn't let you smoke its okay cause instead of smoke, doesn't have a smell, you know all that good stuff you enjoy when smoking a hookah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
