rhineholt Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Soooo, I come back after the weekend and go to pack a bowl when my room mate says "WAIT DUDE! Put foil in the bottom of the bowl. It makes it smoke sooo much better" We did it... I didn't notice a difference. However, I never smoked nak da before... I wasn't impressed. Pretty sure it was da... Have any of you heard of this technique? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremyk Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 did he say why it would make it better cause i cant think of a reason why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verio. Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 i've heard of layering the bowl with foil, in a way that you place the foil at the bottom, line it with a thin layer of sheesh, then line the sheesh with foil, and keep doing this process till you have a full bowl. so once you start smoking and you burn out the first layer, you can just pull it off and there's another layer of moist tobacco underneath. it does away with having to take the foil off and flip the sheesh around the find the moist underside of it. i've never heard of just lining the bottom of a bowl to get better smoke, though.

Majid Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I've tried it a long time ago, didn't notice any difference. I guess theoretically less heat would escape from the bottom and sides of the bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I've also heard of people doing this. Easier to clean the bowl is about the only reason I can see for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Ease of cleaning or faking a phunnel... that's it. It won't improve your smoke. Show your roommate this thread... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhineholt Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 I've heard of it for faking the phunnel too. However, like Majid said, it could possible retain heat better.... I'll have to try it with a brand that I smoke more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sine Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I was thinking about wadding up some foil and packing it at the bottom of my phunnel to conserve shisha... has anyone tried this or anything similar (in regard to making the phunnel more shallow)?

Codename067 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 One time, I was comletely out of Phunnels, some broke, some were lost, so I took out the largest Egyptian bowl I could find and turned it into a Phunnel using nothing but foil, and it worked like a charm! Now other than that, there is absolutely no need to do it. I don't understand how it's going to make the hookah smoother..that like people saying putting Vodka in the base instead of water will get you drunk...:face_palm: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, whether you can get drunk off of the inhalation of alcohol fumes is a matter I know nothing about, but I imagine over the length of a hookah session, that would do... something or other...

twoapplesplease Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 well I know you could use it to make a deep bowl shallower and give ya some good airflow...Kinda hard to explain but what ya do is not press the foil all the way down in the bowl so there is a good air gap between the bowl and the layer of foil..Kinda make it bout half as deep as the bowl allready is...poke a bunch of smallish holes in it..then add your tobacco and foil the top like you would regularly...works good for AF and I'm guessin for other like juicy/wet shisha's with a deep bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
