Jaffi Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Hey Guys Is it just me, or does a Phunnel lower the intensity of flavour while smoking? Perhaps thats the result of how the tobacco gets heated up and how the air flows through the bowl? I mean in a standard bowl, the air flows through the whole tobacco, whereas in a Phunnel bowl it doesn't. Could that be a possible reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhineholt Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I personally get the same if not more flavor out of the phunnel bowl. I know what you mean though, for a while I was like this phunnel sucks. I get better flavor out of my egyption. Then I learned how to pack it. Experiment. Also, is it a Tangiers phunnel bowl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyCallMeDave Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Agreed, I'd say just ask for advice/opinions, watch a shit ton of video tutorials, buff up on your phunnel packing. If it ain't done right, it ain't gonna be right! [img]http://www.hookahforum.com/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif[/img] Don't be agnry at the phunnel, be nice to the phunnel! It's your friend! Really though, it is supposed to enhance the flavor, not diminish it. Just experiement with packing and technique, and you'll be smoking good in no time. Best of luck.

SickNick Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 The ScalliMod or even better the mnhookah.com glass mod, really really helps on most tobaccos, in my experience except tangiers(non-lucid). It forces the air to go through all of the tobacco, yes still keeps the tobacco moist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretender85 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 never noticed a difference over the years between the egyptian/mnh scalli phunnel/tangiers phunnel, aside from the fact that stuff lasts longer in the phunnels..my only complaint is i can't get nak sweet melon to work right in the tang for some reason..lol.

Jaffi Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 I was just thinking that the tobacco might not be able to unfold all its flavour because of the way a phunnel bowl works. The air you are inhaling just did not float thorugh the tobacco, it just "touched" it. Otherwise I think eric put a lot of time in developing this bowl so he might have been thinking about this a lot When I first saw a phunnel bowl I thought "wtf, how the hell should that work?". But it smoked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOE Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 more flavor, nah, I think the flavor is the strongest and most pure through the phunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Honey/ethanol based flavor/flavoring gets better flavor through an egyptian. i.e. SB Fantasia SS Romman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
