Yasseah Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) Hello friends, back again & have been smoking hookah regularly again, too. I meant to post this thread earlier in the week to alert everybody that it was the weekly special going for $20 but now the crownhookah.com special is the "economy phunnel" for $16.99 which is a little smaller so if that's relevant to your interests, there you go. So I've been using one of those small green H-S clearance hookah's lately & I've finally ordered a new vase for the Vortex. Having FINALLY achieved consistently GREAT smoke with this thing(VERY sensitive to heat changes & somewhat unforgiving) I feel like I've become a much better hookah preparer because of it. Anyway...While the small Tangiers Phunnel smokes wonderfully, we all know it's anything but small. Since I like to smoke for 45 minutes or so and then go to bed, I've ordered the Micro Classic after having problems with the inexpensive H-S glass mini-phunnels(smoked perfectly but would arrive cracked and inevitably broke). [b]My question is for those who have both the small Tang and the Crown Micro Phunnel(v2.0): The site says the Micro Phunnel holds 10-20 grams, so how many does the the Tang Small Phunnel hold? In other worlds, about how much smaller is the Crown than the Tang Small? Thanks. [/b] Edited February 4, 2011 by Yasseah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I own both and can tell you the Micro holds like a FRACTION of the Tang Small. You will be amazed and will in no way regret your purchase whatsoever, I can guarantee you. It's PERFECT for short 45 minute smokes. In that aspect, I actually prefer it over my Tang Mini, because even though it's a Mini it still holds a lot and smokes for hours. The Micro is truly "micro" and uses around 15g. I don't have a scale, but my guess is my Tang Mini holds around 25-30g, and my Small (an older small, from around 2008) holds around 30-40g. Just to put it all in perspective for you. The Economy Micro Phunnel is around 10g, I believe. And you can always ask Santino for a smaller or bigger Micro, like 10g or 20g. Either way, the Micro phunnel is great. I also recommend the Micro Classic (One-Coal Bowl). I think both are great and now everytime I decide to smoke it takes me like 20 minutes to decide which bowl to use. Keep in mind- Tangiers Mini and Small phunnels will give you bigger clouds than the Crown Micro phunnel and Micro Classic bowls. That's really the only reason I use my Mini and Small still. Yeah they use more shisha, but I just dump the unburnt stuff back into the tub. No worries. Anyway, enough of my typing. Great bowl, be glad you got it, and it will definitely serve you well. Huge props to Santino for some great bowls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momentum Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I remember when I ordered my small tang bowl, and for a long time I wondered if they fucked up and sent me a medium/large. Because a small tang funnel actually holds wayyy more than a normal egyptian. I love the micro funnel, i have the 2.0, and like Inc said, it holds way, way, way less. From what you wrote, it will be the perfect bowl for you. The hard part for me now, is to get one thats inbetween those two bowls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rahl071 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I've checked mine on a balance; holds 16.02g (if i remember correctly) of tangiers shisha. However, don't think that just because it's small, it won't still throw down. I can get 2 rounds of cocos on mine before it starts to lose flavor. You can still necro this bowl for a pair of hour-long sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't come, I'll be sad. And when I'm sad, everyone at HP is sad. And when they're sad, EKU is sad. So on, and so fourth. Back on topic, which should I buy? THe custom. or the micro?

Chreees Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Haha, I promise dude I'll try my best to make it. It's all going to depend on school and work. It's up to you... The Micro alone without any special requests is great. But if you'd like it a certain size, just ask Santino. He probably has one lying around that'd be the size you want. As for custom color stuff, that will cost a bit extra from what I'm to understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanmweiss Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I just got a Micro 2.0 a couple days ago, best single person bowl I've ever smoked out of. It's my dedicated weeknight after work bowl. For my Temsaah Shakil I needed a gasket for it to fit on, but the gasket they sent me for 0.99c works. Great customer service, I contacted them via email on a weekend with a question and heard back in just a couple hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glider Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 cant comment on the micro or economy crown phunnel.... but i have the crown classic which holds about a 3rd of what my tang small holds... i packed in 21g(yea. measured it out) of tangiers koke and 21g was almost too much. smoked wonderfully. btw.... my small tang is completely massive though. its not as wide as a medium but its deeper. my small holds 16 grams less than my friends medium tang. so im glad i got this bowl because it is the definition of tobacco conservation.

claytronmeans Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I don't know about you buys, but on my Micro funnel, I use two full coals and get great success. I actually went through two rounds last night smoking Lucid Horchata and I gave up before it did (I smoked out of 16 different hookah's last night as well as a Midwakh, so don't give me any crap ). Using two halves just makes the smoke far too finicky, one draw and it's great smoke, the next one there's next to nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlec Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I have this bowl too and a few other crown bowls. Three words for anyone looking at crown stuff : crown signature funnel. Buy one they're a godsend and the best smoking funnel they make ATM IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plex Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I just ordered a Crown Micro Funnel from Santino... cant wait to try out the new tangiers noir flavors with this bowl.. claytronmeans, are you using cocos? two seems like a lot for such a small bowl... how tight are you packing your tangiers?

bigasif Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Has anyone bought one of their B-Grade bowls? Wondering if I should pick one up since they're so cheap, or just shell out the extra 10 bucks for the regular line. I want both a micro phunnel and a micro classic...I've been planning on ordering forever, but haven't had a chance to figure it out and haven't really smoked much either lately but want to pick them up sometime over the next week or so. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
