Chreees Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 So I was just thinking... I'm not too crazy about the small Tangiers phunnel John sent me. It's hella deep! I guess I should've been like everyone else and asked him to find the smallest one he had in stock (read his thread on that). Either way, it uses a LOT of shisha and I'm always left with so much untouched in the bottom of the phunnel.So my question is: How would I go about making my phunnel shallower, so it uses less shisha? What material would be good to fill in the bottom? It could even be a permanent mod- I always smoke by myself, so no need for such a large bowl. I know the kind of material is key to everything as it could interfere with the flavor of the smoke and whatnot. Any ideas guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas guys?This actually came up before and the overall decision was that you can pack only one side of the bowl. Or you could put a coil of foil in the bottom or the teacup mod, or...... I've actually used the "only pack one side of the funnel" and it worked just fine.'Rani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poncho Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 If you have a dremel tool, you can get a diamond cut off wheel, and under running water cut the whole top of it off, thats what I would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using the tealight mod, but feel it restricts the airflow going down the phunnel. Edited November 10, 2009 by INCUBUSRATM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 Stuie wins! That's exactly the sort of thing I was looking for! I can easily make one of those. Now, will someone please sell me their scalli mod? Please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delSol_si Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I took scalli's shisha saver and added the tea light mod to it and came up with this:it worked alright i guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 Just alright, Tyler? What'd you do to the tealight in the middle on the top? Looks like aluminum foil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 tealight is essentially just thick aluminum foil. just push it with your finger.Scalli did this with a copper end cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't suggest using foil....i think it will be too thin, the edges around the inside of the middle hole (for the one i made) where a bit sharp. And ya, it jsut smoked alright, not fantastic. Good for a quicky and thats about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1024 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 you can make a phunnel out of foil for your mya bowl, you just have to be careful when your packing it not to mess up the phunnel. i do this for my leila sometimes, and it cuts the bowl size in about half...i still get the same length of sessions though.

Chreees Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Eh, I think I'm gonna just stick to my tealight mod... I was having okay sessions with it but yesterday I had a really good one. I think I wasn't packing it good enough or something. Either way, it's all good now. I might try something new, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
destructo Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 id really like to take a small and take a ceramic cutting disk and take about about .5cm off it. id imagine that it would smoke about an hour if i did this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delSol_si Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 when i go home for thanksgiving break, i am taking my small phunnel that got chipped awhile back with me and using either a belt or disc table sander to sand it down past the chips...figure the bowl is already chipped anyway, so i won't being ruining a phunnel, just gotta be careful i don't let the sandpaper take the bowl with it or else there won't be a bowl left, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Yep, one phunnel. I can't buy another one- Jay'll kick my ass if I order anything else. Lol. And my girlfriend wouldn't be too happy. Money's tight, and I got out of control before by buying too much. So one phunnel's all I need for now.
