Lakemonster Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Ok...... So maybe you dont have a phunnel bowl......... and wonder about how it might work... ( or at least remotely) So. being the scoundrel I am........ I made up these instructions tro make your existing bowl into a "funnel" bowl. Step one, grab a sizeable piece of foil and shape the foil around your pinky as shown. OK. now thats done. find your bowl and place the pointed part of the foil you made with your finger and place it over the center of the bowl. Begin working the foil into the bowl FROM THE SIDES. Be careful, getting too aggressive means a tear. Dont worry if the center protrusion gets squished up..... once you have the foil seated around.. use a pair of scissors and snip off the top of the protrusion and work the foil there with a tooth pic to straighten it back out and shape it how you like.... the end result looks like this..... Yeah.. you could just buy the bowl.. but then theres some folks that are either Broke, Boycotting......... or just hate Mother Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

high_society Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Im guessing you put the tobacco in the last picture then another tinfoil over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lakemonster Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 Ouch, man...... In reality.... I noticed that it smokes on the sluggish side at first.... havent burned one yet. Done it maybe 10 time thus far. The tin foil probably doesnt hold the heat up enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilotaku Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 anyway tho.. I bet the coals heat up all tht foil and burn the shit out of the shisha.. just spend 12 bucks and get a real phunnel[/quote] I don't think the heat is going to be an issue with the foil burning the maassel. There are a few members here who line their bowls with foil and they all have normal/great results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samildanach Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 well i tried this method today..and what can i say.. IT WORKS!!! tried el basha licorice and nakhla mint mixed.. the flavour is far stronger than usual.. although, i did have to use 2 lots of 3kings.. 1 whole one over a big hole i made just above the funnel...and 3 little pieces around it.. hole formation was 1 big hole over teh funnel.. and a ring of holes around teh ede.. THANX LAKEY.. ur the man!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shisha fan Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 sweet, i read some good things about phunnel bowls, i`m definately going to try this when i receive my new hookah. thanks for the tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAP Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I tried this today and it worked out a lot better than I had expected. I own a large phunnel but I find it takes too much tobacco. I did this with my Mya bowl today and I got more flavour from my Al Amir than I ever have. It also resolves the tight drag problem of Mya bowls due to the tiny holes placed badly.

Sonthert Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Yeah, but the juice still runs through the holes at the bottom...no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakemonster Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 nope.....the tinfoil just acts as a liner on regular bowl..... unless you get a hole somewhere other than the hole in the center, all of it stays in the foil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShishaFred Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 This is what my fake phunnel bowl looked like once packed. I didn't pack the shisha any higher then the hole because i was not sure if it would fall in from succion Took me about 5 minutes before i got it nice and tight. I get it you need a big hole over the middle with a coal on it? I have to say it tasted a bit more than usual , which just made me want to buy a real one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakemonster Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 I should have mentioned that I DO go ahead and cover the the whole shebang with another pice of foil and poke holes in like normal..... havent tried it without yet.

ShishaFred Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Oh don't worry i didnt put the coal directly on top haha. It was just to show what it looked like under that foil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azcoyote Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I've been experimenting with this idea too. I took a blue steel sewing machiine bobbin and placed the center hole directly over the center hole of my small Tangier's tower. Working the foil into place from the certer out I found it easier to fold small pleats to accomodate the curved surfaces. Once everything was in place and wrapped tightly, I piecered the foil through the bobbin in the cener and in each of the eight holes that surround it. Testing it out now with some SB Pomegranite ....and it is working really well. It draws very freely! The bobbin maintains the shape of the center riser while one is working on forming out the rest of foil. I suppose one could stack two bobbins for a really tall riser.

Personally, I'd rather receieve the real phunnel as a gift than some tobacco., but maybe the present is for yourself -in which case get the tobacco but buy something Tangiers - he's got to make a living too, and if you're not going to buy his bowl, the very least you could do is buy his shisha! It's awesome, in case you haven't heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
