to clarify, when chris says classic, he means micro classic. not the full-sized one.

Well duh, haha. It's the one I own. Comparing it the the Micro Phunnel, I thought that was understood, so I stopped adding Micro. Refer back to my first posts- I say Micro.

Well, smoking in TC right now with the AF Mint in the Crown Micro Classic. Very flavorful, decent clouds. I'm sure the clouds would be bigger with the regular-sized Classic. I get bigger clouds with Tangiers in this bowl. Overall, I'd say yes, it works with AF.

thinking about picking up a micro classic due to its one coal simplicity but why do you think you would get bigger clouds in the regular-size classic when smoking AF?

my friends and I smoke AF and Nak way more than we smoke tang and if this bowl doesnt work well with AF or Nak then should i jump on the regular size instead?

also, did you pack the AF the same way you packed tangiers in your Youtube video?

Actually, after a longer while of smoking, the clouds built up more in volume. I can say I recommend getting this bowl and using it for AF. No worries. And yes, I packed it pretty much the same as I did in my video with Tangiers.

how long does the typical pack last in the micro classic?

trying to decide now between the micro or the regular sized. i guess it really comes down to cloud size and duration

Cloud size is fine. Duration: ~1 hour.

As kvtaco said, more mindless... No cutting coals, as you're just setting one whole coal in the middle. So friggin' easy. Easier to pack as you're not having to pack around the inner spire, like the Micro Phunnel. Just easier.

I wish I had Nak to try it with, but I'll try it with AF tomorrow.

Funny you said that! my mini came with a small classic bowl. I was sure that I absolutely should NOT put a coal directly on the middle of the foil. Well, I tried it fearing the worst. Actually? [color="#ff0000"]IT SMOKED FINE.[color="#000000"] I was very suprised that my AF didn't burn! cutting coals, especially QL's, is a messy disaster.[/color][/color]

Just got my order in! Santino actually sent me the wrong bowl, he sent me a micro phunnel.

I contacted him and we sorted things out and now I have a Micro Classic coming my way!

Been smoking the phunnel in the mean time and its amazing. Can't wait to receive my classic.

Yes, Santino's the man! Probably the nicest vendor I've ever bought from. He forgot a gasket when I ordered my micro phunnel, and he sent me a free micro classic. I mean, what other vendor has done something like that?

Just picked up my micro classic today, and i'm loving this bowl.

It's easy to pack, easy to setup, just one coal and great clouds, bigger than from my micro phunnel. I've only smoke once from the classic and I can already say I like it more than my phunnel.

Now with the classic, I don't know when I'll use the phunnel anymore. Don't get me wrong, the phunnel is a great bowl too but I think the classic is far superior.

Question, i put only one CCN on the bowl and it smoked good for about 20 minutes and the smoke died out. I threw the wind cover on and the smoke got better but not the same as the first 20 minutes. what do you guys do in this situation?

CCN are not very hot compared to say HookahJohn Coco's. I usually have to do 1.5 CCN when I use my micro classic.

I could be wrong; I basing this on personal use. Using a ceramic mug to hold 2 CH Coals caused it to crack where thats how I normally transport my coals. (have no issues with CCNs). Also, my CH Coals are bigger than my CCN's (flats).
