LIQUIDGSR Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I have a large with the scali mod and a mini with scali mod and glass screen. I don't use it often though because I just got a tangiers mini and also have scali's micro phunnel olive wood bowl that takes about 10g or less to load.

Arcane Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 i had two minis...and they paled in comparison to the tangiers phunnels...which is why they have been traded to other people...i think LIQUIDGSR even said, it doesn't smoke that well....

sjcrain Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I have the mini with the scalli mod and glass screen. I like it fine, but I can only really compare it to the egyptian bowls that I've had previously, and it handily beats them. I've tried it with the glass screen and with foil, and I like the glass screen better, since it's less wasteful and mostly effortless. I don't really care about cleaning it, since it's not really a display piece for me.I have noticed that I get better results with cocos on the glass vs. Goldens. Goldens seem to burn out faster on the glass than when I use foil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ih303 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I've never owned one or smoked out of one personally so I can only speculate. But it seems to me glass would be a better conductor of heat than clay. Clay seems more porous and would therefore make a better insulator which I would say is better for a bowl.Can anyone back this up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIQUIDGSR Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 The glass works great with starbuzz or fantasia, but not so great for tangiers. I also rather use my mini tangiers bowl or my olive wood bowl rather than the glass because they are harder to clean. Other than that they smoke okay. I used my large one for a good year before it broke and I repaired it. I bought my bowl from Arcane and someone else on here. Its a nice bowl but in the end I rather use the mini tangiers or the olive wood bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I got a MNH Mini Glass Bowl, but I don't use it often. Have to agree works great with anything but Tangiers. Nakhla is borderline I sometimes have to chip it out. I think they are good bowls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 that may be my problem then....Tangiers and Nakhla are my main smokes...and those smoke better in a Tangiers phunnel than a MNH mini glass bowl....no doubt about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delSol_si Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Jay sent me a mnh mini glass phunnel and mod. I thought it worked quite well. I use my tangiers phunnels more though, im afraid of breaking the glass phunnel. But, I still use it though, its a nice bowl.Here are my complaints for the mini glass phunnel though:1. it leaks juices down the stem like a bitch2. if you are using a KM and take the bowl off the stem for any reason, good luck getting the damn thing back on, it don't work. For some reason, after the bowl heats up, if you try to take it off and put it back on, it will slide right back off.3. the glass is a bitch to clean.But, i really do like it quite a bit, smokes really well and saves on shisha. Haven't tried tangiers in it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretender85 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 yeah i have a mini with the scalli and i can't get tangiers to work for crap in it..going to give it a go in my new bowl when i get back to school..since i couldn't bring the tangiers home.If anyone is looking for a MNH mini w/ scalli id happily trade it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff_T Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I've got a small MNH phunnel and use it almost every day. I love it. I use it more than my tangiers phunnel, just because it doesn't take as much shisha to fill it up and smokes great for about 3hrs.*Woot, 1111 post!

ih303 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Meh, I'd like to give it a try some time. But I really can't imagine anything working better than my TN small phunnels. I mean, how do you improve on perfection?I would think that with the more jucier baccy's the holes would clog making them ineffective. In that scenario, you might as well use a TN phunnel.And I'm sorry, but IMO, those glass bowls are just ugly. Of course, this is an issue of taste, but I prefer the beautiful simplicty of of Eric's bowls. I dig the organic colors and the overall earthiness of the whole thing. Those glass things just look like some sort of NHT apparatus to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
