Coyote Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Just curious is anyone has bought the Harmony bowl? I received mine a couple days ago and packed Marigold Noir in it the same way I do the Alien: Tangiers density a quarter coins width below the outside rim and a pinch below the inside spire, lots of big holes, starting with 3 CHnats stonehenge style. Second round starting with 2 coals. Are you guys packing is the same or different? How are you sessions with the Harmony compared to what you bowl you usually pack? I achieved about 2 hours of quality smoke from the bowl (I could have added another round of coals but it would have been just flavourless weak clouds). As I suspected the more pungent flavour notes overwhelmed the beginning of the session and it took longer for it to settle into the balance that I'm used to with my medium Tangiers Phunnel. Overall, so far just having packed Marigold Noir a couple of times I would say that its alright. I would prefer to have more balance sooner... rather than dealing with that pungent/spicy in Marigold for 30 minutes. Though maybe some flavours people prefer to have those stronger volatile flavours more pronounced... horchata I suspect would have more cinnamon. Chocolate Cherry I suspect would have more cherry. The bowl is lighter and the clay is rougher than what I expected. I think it may be strategic since the tobacco is thinly spread between the clay and coals. I wouldn't say its a bad bowl at all... Probably if a Tangiers Phunnel is a 10 and a Deezer is a 1... I would give this bowl a 6.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Yaaaaaay, another banned vendor bowl. Looks like he got the dimensions for optimal smoking performance/longevity wrong again, just like the Alien... That is the reason why you see Tangiers Phunnel bowls and CrownHookahs Phunnel bowls repped the most. I don't even know if we should allow discussion of this, since in a way it could gain the vendor more business from our forum. I'll wait for Mush to chime in...

Rani Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Sorry, but gotta go along with shouldn't be discussed because it's a proprietary design/product from a banned vendor. I'm not going to get involved in the banning issue, but banned IS banned in my opinion - including new designs and proprietary labeled products. Much as I love some vendors who aren't welcome this or that place, as a business person you have to get along with those who help feed you or live with the consequences. It's that simple.

mushrat Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 We are here for the discussion of hookah products. The fact that the maker of the bowl is not welcome here does not mean the bowl itself should not be discussed as part of the overall mission of the forum.That being said I'll still stick to my phunnels for smoking everything and everything including the Stones.

I don't think the stones would work in the Harmony bowl anyway because its so shallow anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Yeah, we talked about it and decided that is the best route. For now, anyway. We want to remain a free and open forum. Katie- Don't people use the Alien for steam stones? That's even shallower than the Harmony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fineout Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I have used the alien for stones and its a pain because of how shallow it is and the uneven surface it creates for the coals but it still smokes pretty well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CO_hookah Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I would only use my Tangiers bowls (small and pico) for stones. I tried with my alien once, and it was way too shallow at the edge to properly cover the stones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rani Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Fair enough on the discussion...... I don't think there's any inherently good or bad bowl. We all know from experience that heat management and so on are very individualized. What works well for one person with their combination of tobacco, charcoal, etc., may not work for someone else with their different choices. All kinds of things come into play on a session from the amount and density that you personally pack to the ambient heat and humidity of the environment. So I wouldn't assume a bowl isn't a good one, or even mediocre. I might say it doesn't work for me, but that might not mean it isn't the best bowl you ever bought.

Pavo21 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 like i said about my alien bowl a while back i threw it in the air as HIGH as i can just to watch it crash to the ground and break. But i'd give the harmony bowl a shot at least, if i didn't have to pay 20$ for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
