JohnLightning Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Hello there. I am looking foward getting myself either a phunnel bowl, or a vortex bowl. But first I wanted to know if using one of these would actualy work for me. First of, I don't smoke tangiers. I smoke nak, AF, Rommans, Starbuzz... etc. And I normaly pack in 10g TOP of my tobacco in my current egyptian bowl. So I was wondering if I could smoke out of a phunnel/vortex without packing my tobacco like they do with tangiers. Does keeping the "juice" in the bowl actually make a difference when using non-tangiers tobacco. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epoch Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Vortex and phunnels are great for any tobacco. Use the same pack you always do, and it'll still work fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vendetta_revived Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Yes, keeping the juices from leaking into the stem works well for all kinds of tobacco, may be not for nakhla since it's best smoked from a clay egyptian bowl, but for everything else, a phunnel would give you much much better results. When you say you pack only 10gm tobacco, are you asking for a phunnel bowl with a similar capacity? If so, then I cannot recommend Crown micro phunnel highly enough! It's a small bowl as the name suggests, holds like 10-15gms of tobacco and smokes brilliantly for such a small bowl. A bit pricey one may say, but is of excellent quality and justifies the price in my opinion. I smoke AF from mine and it lasts me 1.5-2 hours in that bowl! The airflow is amazing obviously since it's a phunnel and don't even ask me about the clouds. If I were to suggest, I'd say stay away from a vortex bowl and get a phunnel! Either a tangiers small (holds 30-40gms), or a crown micro phunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna try the chinese version of it. I live in Quebec/Canada, so shipping cost are quite high. Was gonna order a bowl with my next tobacco order.

Stuie Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 The Chinese and Havana Phunnels are Huge! Seriously Huge, Check the review section I have reviewed both of them. You might consider a bowl from Crownhookahs.com if you end up ordering from 2 vendors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peaceman27 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 someone correct me if im wrong, but i believe you can only get the crown micro phunnel from the crown hookah website. http://www.crownhookahs.com/shop/article_891001/Crown-Micro-Glass-Funnel-Bowl-v2.0.html?shop_param=cid%3D28%26aid%3D891001%26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting them directly from Crown hookah is the only way to get their bowls. IM sure they can ship to Canada anyway though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnLightning Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 Sounds like I have no choice. Crown micro phunnel will be my new bowl... as soon as they restock... can't order one right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnLightning Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) Ok, so I tried getting in touch with Santino from crownhookahs.com. He's not answering so far for my shipping fee, and the Crown micro funnel is out of stock. So I was wondering, if I order new tobacco from HS I was gonna order either a Vortex or a Chinese phunnel from their site meanwhile crownhookahs restock on Crown micro funnel. Which one well be the best? Vortex or the chinese phunnel. Edited August 3, 2011 by JohnLightning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I guess I will wait it out, thank you for giving me this information. I am really looking foward this crown micro funnel, it sounds like everything I am looking for.

Amateurs everywhere My bowls dont last that long since i burn the **** out of the shisha, epic smoke and flavour (uses alot shisha though obviously), everything good from a long session compacted into around 1,5 hour I actually ordered a small phunnel, well, at least it said so on hookah company, but it was actually mediums, this was around 2 years ago. I believe eric said that larger bowls = more shisha = better smoke and flavor (this may have been specially for tangiers but...), sounds logical. I have a very small egyptian bowl and it never smoked really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epoch Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I'm personally a big fan of the Vortex (although most here aren't), so my vote is for that. And the off-brand phunnel bowls work well enough, but I'd take a Vortex over them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnLightning Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) Well I've been using this bowl that came with my KM so far (bought at my local lounge), and I really wanna change to phunnel ASAP. Edit: God damn, my cellphone camera takes huge pictures lol.
