Are Phunnel Bowls Best To Smoke All Brands Of Shisha Out Of?

[Wandering Jew]

Are phunnel bowls the best way to smoke in general? If i don't smoke tangiers a lot (mostly al fauker and starbuzz), is a phunnel bowl still worth getting?

[Hippo_Master]

yes, i believe so, personally.

i only use the Tangiers Small Phunnel, Alien Mini and My Crown jewel.

[Pretender85]

works well with the wet shishas..AF and starbuzz would be under that list i suppose.. only one it doesn't seem to work well with for me is OG nakhla..yet for some reason it works in my glass one o well

[JOE]

I smoke every brand out of my phunnel, once you learn packing and heat real well, you can really get anything to smoke from it.

[Arcane]

how long do you normally smoke per session?

[joytron]

I would say its worth it to get but if I didn't have a miniphunnel i would probably use an egyptian as much or more than a small.

[Chreees]

PHUNNEL FTW!

[KeepItSimple]

After I got my Small Phunnel I only used an egyptian because it was a mini one and I didn't have a mini phunnel. Now that I have the alien I haven't even thought about that mini egyptian.

[A13lackFish]

id have to say yes, otherwise the alien seems to be a big seller right now

i broke my regular bowl so i only own a phunnel atm, and have never had a problem getting just as good smoke and flavor as i did with any brand ive ever smoked.

I use my phunnel for everything. You just have to adjust how much you pack in it. Things like AF, SB, Layalina, I pack it light. Nakhla gets a harder pack, and Tangiers goes harder than that.

Everythings smokes amazing out of it, and I never lose flavor. It does what it was intended to do. If I broke my phunnel, I'd probably not smoke hookah until I got another.

I use phunnels/Crown bowls fore pretty much everything except OG Nakhla. Always and Egyptian or Saudi Bowl. Hemi Bowl is preferred.

Really?

I always throw my Nahkla in the phunnel. Works like a champ. Works for all Nahkla flavors I've had: Sweet melon, 2 apples, mango, apricot, margarita, etc.. I pack it almost as tight as tangiers, and get me some monster sessions.. Shit, that's why I love Nahkla. I don't have to really try to get a great session with it, and the phunnel. Just pack it up, foil it, and go. Its very forgiving.

[bradleyclark86]

I bought my first phunnel a couple months after my first hookah and I haven't looked back since. I found that I can pack pretty much any shisha the same way and it will smoke great. I'm having trouble perfecting Nakhla because it's a drier mix, but it still works.

[Hookah_510]

Maybe its just me but I could never get SB to work at its best in a phunnel. It turns out smoking the same as if it were in the Egyptian standard bowl. Every other brand shisha (Fantasia, JM's and Al Fakher) works better in the phunnel for me (but I get tired of flavors quick and opt to change within 45min). I keep my SB and Fumari in standard bowls.

I only smoke out of my phunnel bowl... [img]http://www.hookahforum.com/public/style_emoticons/default/Hookah.gif[/img]

[Tyler]

no, egyptians rule the SB, SS, and such realm.

[Guest Cheng]

I would say yes, the Phunnel is the best to smoke out off. I broke my small Phunnel a few days ago and im currently smoking outta my Egyptian and it sucks! I miss my Phunnel very much...

My Phunnel is like a hoe, it takes everything you put in to it, OG Nak, Mizo, AF, Fantasia and JM's smoke wonderfully.

Phunnel has nothing on the vortex bowl. Try it out! It's off the chain. Keeps the juices in the bowl and lasts for a long time.

[Guest Cheng]

Vortex? I heard they are shit?

[chozino]

[font="Century Gothic"] you mean they are the shit! yes.
Hearing is one thing, but trying is another.
People talk a lot. Try it then say your opinion!
it holds more tobacco and smokes longer than any bowl out there.

Is it just me who's getting strong suspicions about Chozino being a SS/HH representative?

But I have a large and 2 small phunnels and we never use them tbh.. we have marathon sessions of like 10 hrs with 2 shishas sometimes and we prefer to just use normal bowls and make fresh ones every hour.. The phunnel takes too much shisha and the flavour after like an hour in of heavy smoking just isn't crisp and fresh enough for our liking.

Hmm sounds EXACTLY like what a phunnel bowl does except the phunnel has an easier draw do to one large hole verses 4 small holes, also with a vortex the holes can be hit or miss on there location. Ive see some up high and some so low they do nothing to hold the juice in. There is NOWAY they hold more shisha then a med or large phunnel. When you get 9-10 hours out of a med phunnel smoking non stop there is also no way they smoke longer. Also there made by sahara smoke witch = fail in my book.

Yeah I'm getting a vortex. I really hope the holes are up high, I've seen it on videos where it can be a hit or miss with the holes. They didn't have any white phunnels left *pout*.

well I am no expert but (start ad) Hi, Iam Ray and I use vortex.Vortex is the best bowl I have tried.The other two bowls I have are a combo bowl/windscreen and the mya that came with my QT.Vortex is well made,easily modded for different size crowds and types of shisha.I am Ray and I use Vortex...smoking vortex can cause headache,vision blurring and stroke. Do not use vortex if you are on maoi inhibitors,vortex does not protect from stds consult your doctor before starting vortex (end AD)
