bruceg Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) Maybe a mod could sticky (or pin) this or make a master thread or something. Maybe not. But I thought this would be a cool thread for noobs (like myself). Basically it's a simple thread. Which brands (and different lines of brands) smoke best in which bowls and how to pack those brands in those particular bowls. I know there are plenty of threads that cover one type here and there. But one thread for ALL brands would be awesome! Edited July 18, 2012 by bruceg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex.padmore Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Basically anything wet is better from a phunnel than a standard egyptian style bowl, although it can be done. Dryer stuff like nak smokes well in an Egy bowl but personally i prefer it from a phunnel. Tangiers phunnels are the best. Crown bowls are a solid alternative as is an alien phunnel although its harder to pack I find. If you mainly smoke drier stuff then check out mattarios2's tutorials on packing Nak in a phunnel. Or check out reviews on the crown classic for an alternative to an origional style bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 You should be able to smoke anything in any bowl. Seriously, heat management is the key to a successful smoke. For instance i can smoke Tangiers in a phunnel, a smiley, a mya (both sizes), my fumo bowl, traditional egyptian bowl, modern chineese bowl, and even the weird mya bowl that comes with the Mozza. It really has nothing to do with the bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pavo21 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 i've smoked Tangiers out of tons of different bowls and everything else in tons of tobaccos so id say figure out how to pack it and how to heat it and ur set .[quote name='mushrat' timestamp='1342617809' post='551978'] You should be able to smoke anything in any bowl.

But, isn't the phunnel supposed to make packing Tangiers easier? Yes, for most people....but, not all. Different strokes for different folks. The best advice I can give someone is to experiment. Once you find something that works, stick with it and tweak that particular set up. Don't jump around different coals, bowls or holes. Find the method you're most comfortable with and make it work for you. So yeah, mush is pretty much right.

That said, I use my Tangiers Mini Phunnels for most everything. I sometimes use my other bowls as well- Tangiers Small Phunnel- Tangiers when I'm feeling like a longer than usual session (planning on smoking more than 3-4 hours). Egyptian- Nakhla, sometimes other various stuff I get and try, such as AF, etc. Male Turkish Clay Bowl- Nakhla. Tiny Male Syrian/Lebanese Bowl- Quick smokes of Nakhla when I'm short on time, or to do quick tests of new brands/flavors I have not yet tried (good way to make those 50g packs last longer). But yeah, it all comes down to the person and what they like. The above works best for me, but may not for others. Exactly why I put a disclaimer in my Tangiers Guide thread that not all methods will work for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I agree with you guys completely, like I said you can use any bowl you'd like for whatever shisha you'd like. All I was hitting at is that for some people, especially people newer to hookah, using certain bowls will make the process easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 aren't we so fricking helpful? but I have to say I agree that knowing HOW to pack the bowl is as important as heat management. And the Phunnel doesn't make smoking Tangiers easier, it makes it last longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coyote Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I'm with Mush for the most part on this one. I mean, even when we are apart we are together <333333 wut um ok bowls and stuff Tangiers you can smoke out of any bowl. There are different techniques that will allow you to get "better" results in each bowl. And the Tangiers Phunnels work best with Tangiers tobacco. They will give you the intended flavor, clouds and heat retention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
