antouwan Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 any reason you're into the chinese ceramics? the more stoneware options made by tangiers are much better at insulating AND diffusing the heat. you'll use less charcoal and have a more consistent distribution of heat to all parts of the bowl. that being said, honestly, if you were just unable to locate a decent phunnel, i would recommend just purchasing what you can that is decent (like clay egyptian or syrian heads) and holding off on your phunnel purchase until something decent is available.

ChicagoRSX Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Only 2 phunnels I trust, crown micro, and Tangiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Yeah... avoid those. They're junk. Stick with Tangiers Phunnel bowls, as they're made with the best materials and are designed for optimal smoking performance/duration. CrownHookahs makes glass phunnel bowls that also respect the proper dimensions, but are just made out of borosilicate glass. In other words, really strong stuff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3a3RYmX-J8 Right now I fully recommend the CrownHookahs bowls, since the Tangiers ones are sold out everywhere. Plus, Santino is a BAMF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavo21 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 i have a buddy that got a crown micro its epic! recomend it if you cant get a tangiers phunnel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoRSX Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I can personally vouch for the impressive smoking ability of the crown bowls, as I have 2 micro's, a crown classic, and a crown jewel. You can't go wrong with Santino's products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airlannmd Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 haha why? cause its a vortex or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoozle Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 What are you smoking? If you're not smoking Tangiers then, in my opinion, you don't need any type of phunnel bowl, but otherwise, you can smoke AF out of that vortex. But, you can smoke AF out of an Egyptian bowl just as well or better. I would have put that $10 towards tobacco or coal, but you might find that you like it. Plus everything is upside down over there, so who knows how it will work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I have never used a Mya bowl, so I can't really compare. Now I just load AF into an Egyptian bowl and it smokes great. Try it out and see how you like it, It may very well be at least a step in the right direction. Pick up a traditional Egyptian bowl when you get a chance; shouldn't be more than a few dollars. Keep in mind that they are hand made and vary a lot. If you have a selection of Egyptian bowls to choose from, spend a little bit of time picking through them.

Purplepotatoe Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Vortex Bowls are completely fine, just a little harder to pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeetsak Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 this might not be the highest qualtiy but its better than a chinese junk bowl [url="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Caravan-Egyptian-Nile-River-Clay-GREEN-Hookah-Shisha-Funnel-Phunnel-Bowl-/221172938693?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item337eef37c5"]http://www.ebay.com/itm/Caravan-Egyptian-Nile-River-Clay-GREEN-Hookah-Shisha-Funnel-Phunnel-Bowl-/221172938693?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item337eef37c5[/url] it looks solid and handmade i have no idea about the clay quality but if it is the same qultiy and a egyption bowl but in a phunnel shape... might be worth a shot and they ship AU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 It's gotta be good if it's made from clay from the Nile. Seriously though, I agree- clay is way better than ceramic Chinese BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
