Addison Roberts Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I smoke fumari, star buzz, tangiers (not to often), and my own homemade shisha (wet like tangiers is). I am looking for a bowl for the regal I just bought… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codyb88 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I'm impartial to 3 bowls. Tangiers, Egyptian clay, and harmony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addison Roberts Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 I think I will get a tangiers mini or tangiers pico… I want something like that but I want it to smoke good wether its tangiers shisha or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Tangiers Phunnel bowl, whatever size you get, will be the most versatile bowl you own. It smokes any brand of tobacco well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzbizz Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 My favorite bowls are my small and pico Tangiers and my mini and regular Egyptian bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Phunnels and the deep set Mya (you knew i was gonna say that) are the only 2 bowls i use or need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addison Roberts Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Lol the same two bowls for how long? I just can't seem to find a bowl I like.. I haven't smoked out of a tangiers bowl but Ive smoked out of vortex bowls, Egyptian Clay bowls, wooden bowls, homemade bowls, Chinese bowls, harmony bowls, alien bowls… I can't find something to suit my needs or likings. I need a bowl that gives me 0% waist.. Something I can smoke about 1 hour and not having to waist half a bowl. I am going to buy a Tangiers Pico & Tangiers Mini off a buddy of mine I will try these out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's Tangiers, you'll likely never find a bowl that will allow you to smoke for one hour and completely char all of the tobacco in the bowl. Why? Because Tangiers lasts for freakin' ever. Like I have mentioned before, longest session I've ever had was 8 hours smoking Tangiers Lucid Indian Summer out of my ~25g Tangiers Mini Phunnel. But if I had been smoking another tobacco, i.e. Nakhla or Al Fakher, it wouldn't have last nearly as long, maybe a couple or few hours, tops. Every brand is different. Maybe try out one of Crown Hookah's micro bowls? http://crownhookahs.com/shop/article_891001/Crown-Micro-Glass-Funnel-Bowl-v2.0.html?sessid=7G4IqkciyWX1YEpHfiwU1zZ8sujFif49Bdgh6VU7Jv3L0WOVtWzrTsgAZwZZaZGp&shop_param=cid%3D28%26aid%3D891001%26 Santino makes amazing glass products and his bowls are some of the best I've ever used. The Micro will hold a very minimal amount, less than the Pico I believe. It's darn close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codyb88 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Well he could smoke out of a shallow alien if he found one. But yeah tangiers will usually be close to 2 hours if heat managed properly. It sounds to me like you want something that doesn't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Sharrp SYBIAN Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Lol the same two bowls for how long? I just can't seem to find a bowl I like..

I am going to buy a Tangiers Pico & Tangiers Mini off a buddy of mine I will try these out. The best bowls which don't waste shisha and burn evenly are the Tangiers Small/pico and the Harmony Bowl. The Harmony is the best bowl imaginable for the lotus. It has the perfect amount of depth and is perfect for long 3-4 hr sessions with the lotus. If you are dead set on using foil then nothing will come close to the tangiers small / pico as they use up all the shisha and nothing goes to waste. As far as vortex bowls go that is the worst novelty bowl for noobs that you can find. Only noobs fall for the vortex and hookahflip, and ice-bowls. the vortex never smokes evenly and a lot of your tobacco will go to waste in that bowl because the design itself is flawed. The top 4 bowls that you should consider are the Tangiers small, Tangiers Pico, harmony, and last but not least the Alien mini phunnel. The alien mini is ideal for those short 45min-1hour sessions, they use only 10-15 grams of shisha so nothing goes to waste and the lotus usually fits the alien perfectly so you wont need foil. The reason why the other bowls i mentioned are superior to the alien is because they all smoke a lot longer. Especially the pico. The pico also only needs 15-18 grams of shisha and can smoke for nearly 2 hours. In the long run you will need to try all 4 of these or 1 of the tangiers and 1 of the alien or harmony as the harmony and alien are perfect for the lotus and the Tangeirs bowls are the best bowls around if you plan on sticking to foil.

I hope you're not bothered by wasting money on throwing out unused tobacco because, lets be honest, you're spending a significant amount of money on bowls and hookahs. Let's look at some quick math. You won't find many bowls that you can pack $4 worth of tobacco in. Suppose you do have a really big bowl and you do pack $4 of tobacco in it. You're still going to smoke half of it so you're only wasting $2 worth of tobacco. Realistically you aren't going to pack up some huge bowl to smoke for an hour. You'll load up a reasonable size bowl and have a few cents worth of wet tobacco left over. You'll also notice that if you smoke a bowl til all the flavor is gone it will still make some smoke and if you stop there, you will still find wet tobacco on the bowl. That tobacco is spent there is just some liquid left over that you don't want to smoke. Now, lets look at some benefits of wasting tobacco. I think a big fat bowl of tobacco smokes better than some tiny bowl with just a few grams in it. I'll waste some tobacco for a better smoke. The tobacco that isnt charred and crispy at the bottom of the bowl is easier to clean. And the best reason of all is that finishing a bowl sucks. The flavor ran out and you still wanted a few more puffs. But the bowl just wouldnt give it to you. Not one more lung full of sweet delicious smoke, that stingy bitch. When you have more than enough tobacco in your bowl, you call the shots. You're not done smokin' til you say you're done smokin' But of you just need to be 100% efficient, I can't help you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I buy my shisha online and i get tired of buying shisha and two weeks later buying another batch… Spending money on shipping and what not. If I can make a 250g bag last me 3 weeks id be happy. I guess what I am saying is that 12.00 I save per year on shisha can easily go twords the 100k's of dollars worth of debt I have… Thats just what like 2000 years left till I pay it off? But anyways I think a tangiers small will suit my needs. I will be posting a wtb in trades section later unless That_Guy still has one. btw: I was joking on the 12.00 going twords my debt… That will defiantly be going twords more shisha & coals haha!

Addison Roberts Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 So what I am basically trying to say its not the money its the fact I have to keep buying more and more shisha online… Im okay with waisting a little shisha to have a better session but its the fact I have been waisting about 20-30g of shisha over the past 6 months that it would be nice to cut down… If i had a shop around me that actually sold large 250g quantities of shisha then I would buy it quite often but when I am paying 8.00 for a two 250g bags of shisha to be shipped to me its just a waist. Thats why I started making my own shisha up until I could only get my cinna mix down pat and nothing else to work… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screw suntrust loans… That makes sense. I'm the same way about paying shipping. I know it's still cheaper than driving around buying from local stores but that last $10 tacked on to the price bugs me. I tend to place bigger orders with places that have flat rate shipping and/or good discounts when I can, that way at least it spreads the shipping around. Being a HF member will usually get you at least 10% off which will offset some of the shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
