Hassouni Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Inspired by people's use of Superchiefs, and me only having female-stem pipes, I figured, hey, maybe I can use my wide shallow clay bowl from Lebanon, and pack it like a SC, since it's so wide and the holes are smack in the center: [img]http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/74494_592653570701_37003198_34556801_2432067_n.jpg[/img] By God, it works! packed tightly around the rim, nothing over the holes. Maybe not quite as good as a funnel, but almost! Now I don't have to deal with adapters anymore. Sweeet FYI, Hookahjohn has the same bowls in female configuration on his site, [url="http://www.hookahjohn.com/Italian-Clay-BowlShallow-138S.htm"]http://www.hookahjoh...hallow-138S.htm[/url] They're half the price of a Tangiers bowl, so for the cash-strapped smoker who likes Tangiers, I'd recommend it.

king_lunchb0x Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 nice, for those few elmas owners and such can still enjoy tang with out shelling out another 20$ for an adapter piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 well, bear in mind the ones on John's site are Egyptian style. I meant it more for people who didn't wanna pay $17 or whatever for a Tangiers bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 uhhh, the same thing works for an egyptian... it's how it was packed prior to the invention of the phunnel bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 Yes, but this bowl in question has a big wide surface outside the holes, SORT of like a Superchief or that Sapphire bowl. Most Egyptians I've seen don't have much extending outside the area where the holes are. In other words, I was able to pack tight and still get good airflow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 http://www.hookahcompany.com/tangiers_large_hookah_head_1132_prd1.htm In these low, wide, non-phunnel Tangiers classic bowls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
