NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 hey guys i was looking at john's page on small tangiers phunnels..and i noticed something about 2 of them ones i want to order for my bowl collection, the 2 in question is the mustard brown and green and the arabica red, look at the actually phunnel opening on the mustard brown and green...it starts going straight up and the opening is bigger much bigger in comparison to the arabica red one where that one starts like a hill and the opening is not as wide, now i understand these like km's are hand made so not 2 are like..but of these 2 and there small differences which would smoke better? or am i looking to much into it? http://www.hookahjohn.com/images/Small%20Phunnel.jpg [img]http://www.hookahjohn.com/images/Small%20Phunnel.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience the one like the mustard brown and green style smokes better than the arabica red style. I only use my small green moss phunnel b/c it is the only phunnel I own that has that shape to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joytron Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 He likely has more than one of each color, and since they are all hand made you could get a mustard brown with the bowl shape of the arabica. My mini has a center more like the red one and the air flow is fine. It also looks like the red one is going to hold a bit less tobacco, although its hard to tell from that angle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookie The Hookah Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 (edited) I got one with a smaller opening than the last two I had and it had no effect on the smokability whatsoever.

[/quote] let me explain a bit more. Both style bowls will smoke the same in terms of "air flow" or ease of pull, BUT, the bowls that have that style that get thinner on the top give a better indentation for the foil, and I find that style is always taller on the sides so the foil never gets sucked down on the hole. IN general, maybe that style bowl just works better for my packing style, I dont know, but I always found the style that the mustard brown and green has to smoke easier, but both bowls will in fact have the same pull!

mix_tape Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Interesting, aren't all these bowls handmade so each one will be different regardless of color but I could be totally wrong. I'm totally going to inspect my phunnels now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkScary Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I have a Mustard Brown and Green one from Hookah John, looks and smokes fantastic The Arabica Red one looks sexy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob Shock Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 All tangiers phunnels are hand made so they will all be a bit differnt. the color has jack shit to do with the middle thing. just keep buying them until you get one you like. or maybe leve a comment in your next order with john. he may just help you out.

delSol_si Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 hehe, the first thing i thought of when you were talking about this is nipples....like the ones on tits...like the different types of nipples... anyway, after talking to Walt about phunnels, i think the main difference between the two is one is the tower style an the other is the grip style, correct me if im wrong.

Webbles Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Aside from a packing difference with the indentation - smoking of either one is the exact same. 3 Small bowls, and 2 have a smaller funnel like the Arabic red (which is fucking gorgeous) and i have 1 like the mustard, which is more open. BOTH smoke the same, both with the same airflow, no difference at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codename067 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 When packed the same, you should expect similar results. They might vary, but not by much. Personally, I'm a fan of the OG Tangiers Phunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
