Snacks Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) Greetings! I thought I'd start off by introducing myself. My name is Rick and I live in Sweden, 21 years old atm. I was fairly active on the forums a while back when I started out with hookah smoking. I used the forums for help with getting started and after that I havent used the forums very much. I still do check out the vendor section a little now and then. (what happend to MNH anyways? =S I loved that store) So what is this about? Well I study tourism and wildlife at a folk high school ([url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folk_high_school"]http://en.wikipedia....olk_high_school[/url]) on the western coast of Sweden. Spring is comming and last week I got my hookah out of the closet. I assembled it on my bed to make sure that I had everything I needed before I packed it all in my backpack. However, this would not be as much of a nice sunny morning as I had thought. My girlfriend sat down on the bed just beside the hookah to take a look at it. Guess what happend, the bed shifted when she sat down and the hookah tipped over smashing my tangiers phunnel bowl. I was just as crushed as the bowl. >.< However, as luck would have it, the school I study at does not only teach tourism classes, it teaches pottery students aswell. So what I did was that I went over to their building and asked around if there were any one who would be interested in making a replica. I found one that would love the challenge and I am currently waiting for the results. During our conversation I mentioned that there might be a market for these here in Sweden and the countries nearby and she said she might be interested in selling a few, if things turn out fine with the first attempts. So, I am just posting to see if there is anyone who would be interested in buying one. They would be cheap and if things turn out alright I will post plenty of picture and a good review of it. I cant promise that it'll be as good as the original phunnel bowls but I have a lot of confidence.

SuburbanSmoker Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Its cool you found someone locally who can make you one but i think alot of people feel the same as i do, there just isnt anything quite like the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snacks Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 The benefits would be cheap price and cheap shipping (this is the problem for european customers ordering from the states) and the fact that they could easily be custom made. I just thought it was a cool idea. Anyhow, just post something, whatever, if you have the slightest interest in this. I dont know if this will even fly, I just want to know if there would be as much as one person interested. And as a sidenote, I dont think I'd mind shipping all over Europe. We'll see how the result turns out. One thing should be made clear though, I/we would not do this for profit. Btw, I realize this might be posted in the wrong section, if it is then please tell me or feel free to move the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-duke Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Hey Snacks! I love your idea and i love your[font=Verdana, sans-serif] initiative [/font] [font="Verdana, sans-serif"]For a long time now i've been longing to get my hands on a mini phunnel bowl! The reason is that i think that the tangiers small phunnel bowl uses to much shisha for single smoke sessions. Ordering a mini phunnel bowl from the states costs way to much in my opinion. [/font] [font="Verdana, sans-serif"]I live in sweden aswell and i would love to get a bowl or two custom made:) Do you think it would be possible?[/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snacks Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Heya Duke. Thanks for posting your interest! As I said before, she havent finished the first ones yet so I cant really say but if things go smooth it should not be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snacks Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 The first one should be finished tonight. The one she is replicating is a tangiers small. I'll discuss mini funnels with her when I go check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
