the one freeman Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I have been having a horrible week for my hookah. I cannot figure out tangiers, the japanese quick light coals that i ordered are terrible, and I broke the second phunnel bowl in the past three weeks. Now, the first one I broke was indeed my fault, but the second just slowly starting tipping over, and before I could act, it plummeted to the cold, cold earth.However, just about ten minutes ago, my girlfriend came over, and she made me a phunnel bowl out of clay!! Sorry I don't have a picture of it yet, but I will let you know how it works out. Also, why are the phunnel bowls so damned tall? They are way to top heavy for my poorly made hookah...

mushrat Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 heh, ya i've had a week or month like that. Try some wet papertowlel for a grommet, much better hold than rubber on a phunnel I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the one freeman Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 well, i think its my equipment's fault in general haha. good ideas for the gaskets tho. however, my girlfriend did make me a phunnel bowl that isnt as tall, which I am very excited to use. Besides, I have a little bit of a cold going on, so I think a little while of not smoking would only help.thanks for all the tips guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fineout Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Erics reasoning for making the phunnel so tall has to do with the flow out of the bowl becoming fully developed therefore come down the stem uniformly and all in all i imagine has some effect on the ease of the pull or something around that effect. or thats what i think i read and i havent done enough fluid dynamics (only one semester) to actually know how it would translate to making a better smoke just know the physics behind it all.

Zyram Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Crappy sessions for me over the last week and a half as well, just not satisfying and either harsh or wispy with little flavor. I have been able to get great results before (mostly smoke tangiers) but for some reason just couldn't get it together this week. I ordered some new tangy from hookahjohn though and hopefully when it gets here I will be able to make up for those bad sessions with an awesome one!-Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amn_sinclair Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 damn guys im sorry bout the bad sessions, i had two bad bowls last night. Smoking my orient tobaccco grape and tuti fruiti. The clouds just erent there... Then my tangiers cactus fruit came and saved my night. Hope things get better for u guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxik916 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I haven't had a good session in weeks. I think it has to do with the exoticas I've been using. I need some coconaras soon because my sessions were great when I was using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
contristo Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 very cool part on your girlfriend. even if it doesn't work well, at least she tried. give it a shot and tell us how it iseh just use this an excuse to order a phunnel off hookahjohn, he's selling the authentic tangiers one still i believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rani Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 We're about to change seasons.... So the weather and humidity is all over the place from day to day. Sessions have a tendency to go belly up more often in my experience during these times. It'll straighten out.Oh! And yesh, I'd say your girl is a keeper.'Rani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
