Should I Get Another Phunnel?

[king_lunchb0x]

is it worth getting another phunnel bowl, i recently ordered a Havana Medium phunnel bowl of h-s.com, of course me being antsy and rushing i bought a medium not really realizing what I'm committing to. Well it came and after smoking in it for about a week i just dont know. Smoke is alright but its just too big for my little 19" hookah, the grummets that came didn't even fit well had to boxtape a few layers around it. Since its already been used alot and to late to return, is it worth it to go for another phunnel bowl? Will it save that much more shisha from just a one hose solo smoker like me? I hear alot of you guys have 3-4 bowls at least, i got 1 med havana phunnel, and one clay(i think) egyptian.what would you do if you were me? If you think i should where is a good place to find the cheapest tangiers phunnel?

[tranoid no ki]

the obvious answer is yes. Before my phunnel, i barely got any smoke or flavor, but it really does make for a nicer smoke. If you're smoking tang or nakhla I would go for it 100%, even for a solo smoker, get a small. I have a medium (didn't realize how big it was) and I blow through the bowl in like, an hour and a half.

That egyptian is probly perfect for that hookah.
A small phunnel Is still pretty large and some claim they smoke 3 hours.
I'd get some small egyptians maybee a shallowide.

My 2 cents phunnels are overrated and over priced Edited October 9, 2009 by twoapplesplease

Get a tangiers small. $18.66 shipped from hookahcompany with the hookahforum 15% off

[FactorE]

agreed. get a small phunnel.

[king_lunchb0x]

well maybe its just me, but i cant get crap for smoke/or flavor through my med phunnel, i think it has to with my packing/hole design.

I have to load it up with seems like 20g of shisha just to get any smoke, with hole design i punch 2 sets of rings (small holes) far outside one near center, then punch 1 small or 2 small hole through the center, ive tried the 3rings with no hole in the center but i cant suck any air in, any recommendations on how to pack a med havana phunnel with good smoke but not using almost half of my 50g sample boxes (only 2 left)

I'll also agree (on the small). Edited October 9, 2009 by Hookie The Hookah

my egyptian bowl may be a shallow wide, gives good smoke for 35 minutes some flavor but burns way to fast, even with managing the hell out of the coals, Edited October 9, 2009 by king_lunchb0x

Yes, get a smaller one. One 50g box = one bowl.

It completely was his fault. He was underpacking big time.

[king_lunchb0x]

lol, i just got sold on some videos i saw on the smoke from phunnels, great thick stuff, but what i was hoping for was something lasting me 1+hours, which i heard phunnels can do

A shallow wide is a special pack bowl you should be using 12g-15g in it and it should smoke nice for around 45-60 minn.
For info on them do a search for shallow wide egyptian bowls

wow, thats what happens i guess when i rush into something with out research. how much would u say goes for a small phunnel 15-25g?

They can in fact do this.

[SynysterPhoenix]

With tangiers, pack it in a small phunnel tightly (Theres a tutorial or two about that) and it will last you an hour minimum.

I don't own a small and really don't know exactly. I'm actually second guessing that 50g up there. It's definitely between 40 and 50 depending on the type of tobacco...

[king_lunchb0x]

well i guess next order will include small tangiers phunnel, to me it should be the same as my current bowls... hopefully same flavor and smoke from my egyptian but last as long as my havanna phunnel. well an extra 15$ to see if really am missing something, i think ive spent more money on useless things.thanks for the advice guys

[twoapplesplease]

Same is possible with a large egyptian. I got a large egyptian that holds 50g smokes huge and thick for 2+ hours.

I also have smoked a med-tang phunnel loaded with romman good times in 45 minn solo.Smoked it all the way through till it was dead.But thats only cause its washed and won't satisfy my nicotine fix.
Yes those clouds were huge, but so unsatisfying.

depends on how and what ya smoke I guess
Good luck and happy smoking

[mitchard]

definitely worth the "risk" of picking one up. if you buy it and don't like it, i might buy it off of you.

if you want to use less shisha, a scalli mod with a small phunnel works awesome

I have been looking up the shallow wide bowls not much yet, but my Egyptian now has treated me well, lol when i was getting hella pissed at my havana i quickly took off the coals took out what ever shisha was usuable and packed it into my egypt and smoked it for what it had left, to me it saved my day

[king_lunchb0x]

mine does look some what similar to the one u used here

http://www.hookahforum.com/?showtopic=33530#entry411534

but its not exactly that shallow, seems about same diameter but a few cm's deeper not much

Do you smoke Tangiers without a phunnel (or at all)?
