Elmas Funnel


Recommended Posts

The question is, Is it comparable to the tangiers phunnel in its use with tangiers or not? As I only have a pipe with a female port and I really want to smoke tangiers, I'm looking in to things I can use. On top of being able to fit my pipe its also much cheaper then a tangiers phunnel. so is it better to shell out the extra cash on a pico or should I just take the cheap route and get and elmas funnel?

Not sure about the Elmas one, but if you want something as close to a Tangiers phunnel, you'll want to try and find one of the Kasbah male funnel bowls that Mark had made. It was so close to my Tangiers Mini I could tell no difference in performance.

the other option, and i feel disgusting just saying it, is I could get an alien, as that will save me less money but will save me tobacco

the Issue with those is availability, If i could find one I would get one though, cause the other tobacco saver idea is the alien

I hear ya... why I said you could try and find one. Would hate to see you settle for the Alien. Anyway, why not just get a Pico and fab up an adapter?

the alien is 10 bucks cheaper then a pico, that 10 dollars equals more tobacco

But nowhere near as good in performance, IMO... Eric makes them with certain dimensions for a reason. The Alien disregards those dimensions. That is why it fails, and paying $10 more for a better quality bowl is justified.

you do raise an extremely valid point there

You should definitely just make an adapter, it's super easy. Get a short piece of copper or stainless steel tubing and put a bowl grommet on each end, done. If you really want to make it super tight, fill in the middle with tape to build it up on a taper so that the grommets fit perfect.

Other than that, yeah, Kasbah bowl is the shit.

Kasbah bowl is great (though I think I'm down to one now :( ) but good luck finding them. I still talk to Mark every now and then but he's soooo out of the hookah game.

The Elmas ones are ENORMOUS. If you want a bowl to smoke for like 8 hours, then go for it, but otherwise, they're overkill.

Ty's suggestion of an adapter is probably your best bet though

Yeah Im Probably just going to make an order for pico, a elmas adapter is only 4.99 for a chipped one so now real harm adding that to the order.now for another question, burley or regular static starlight which one do you guys like more?

Personally, I get sick of SS pretty fast, but I would take burley. But, to be honest, as long as what you're ordering has the new label on it, it's gonna be good.

Good choice- the Burley easily became my favorite once I tried it. :)
