Review: Tangiers new bowl, and Tangiers Watermelon


Recommended Posts

Hookah: 36" Mya green crystal base with green cloisonne stem. 2 hose set up with hose adapter.Bowl: Tangiers new phunnel bowlShisha: Tangiers Watermelon Coals: Canary Japanese Golden Charcoals.Set up: I packed the bowl almost exactly like Tangiers outlined in his pictutorial about packing a standard tangiers bowl. I poked 1 ring of holes around the outer edge and one just around the phunnel opening. I added one dead center for circulation in case the phunnel was sealed (Never had this problem since the bowl was full, and the foil tight as a snare drum.) At first I fired up 4 pieces of Jap coals, but had to reduce to three because it got harsh.Result: Extremely flavorful smoke. Probably the most vivid flavor I've had in a long time. The buzz was strong, but not unpleasant. The thickness of the smoke was about the same as I usually get which is a lot and for some reason had a slight blue saturation to it(no idea why). The session lasted about an hour before I had to change coals. I decided to use one quick like golden coal to evaluate how well it worked. It was hitting equally well. Overall it was a pretty damn good session considering it was my first time using the bowl and the tobacco. Final Grade: 9/10

[quote name='imonlyapuppet']I'm interested in these phunnel bowls. Will a screen work, or do you have to use a specific hole pattern in a piece of foil (I hate using foil)[/quote] I don't think a screen would be big enough. These bowls are huge. You could try though. As far as the hole pattern goes I was thinking about trying holes all over like a standard bowl just to see how it smokes.

[quote name='jtemes']howd it work Lukasa?[/quote] Not good initially. The heat didnt distribute well, my guess is that the foil didnt allow the bottom to heat the shisha. So i took the halo, folded it exactly in half and shoved in one half of the bowl, and filled the remaining half with shisha. so i only use half a bowls worth of tobacco, it works very very well. right now i am smoking a mix of Fumari choco chip and HH butterscotch. it is heavenly.
