metalhead209 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 i've searched the forums with this question and didnt turn up much... so whats the deal with phunnel bowls? is it a prefrence thing or do they actualy improve the smoke? if there is an existing thread with this answer can someone at least post a link to it.

DizzyGuy Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Ok, first off... it's design allows all the shisha juices to pool at the bottom... thus making that much less clean up. None gets down the pipe... second off, because of the design, one also gets longer, usually more flavorful, smoking sessions. I <3 my phunnels. I recommend you getting the small phunnel first though, it's usually nicer just to use less tobacco... but the others work fine as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scheetz Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 yes, now the downside is you need more heat if you fill the phunnel up. What I have been doing is only pack one side and put holes in the foil on that side only. Then I just toss 1 40mm 3kings on it and smokes like a champ.

shisha fan Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 according to people who own them they make your shisha burn longer and the taste lasts longer as well, but in the beginning you need to get handy in setting it up the right way.

UQKenny Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 MNHookah sells them too, as well as the Scalli's Mod. I bought one from them recently and it's great! I don't use any other bowls anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hookah hippie Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I find the phunnel bowl to produce a longer session my phunnel bowl will smoke for about 1.5-2 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayVer Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 hmm I ordered one of these from hookahcompany.comIt comes in tomorrow. I'll let you guys know how it works out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cohlineman Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 The main for the love I have of the funnel is due in part to my love of Al Fakher tobbacco....when I smoke it in a regular bowl all that juice runs down the stem ,aking my hookah look like a prostitute with loose dentures.The funnel keeps me clean and happy, takes more coals but oh well.

cafesaden Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I have had my large phunnel for quite a while and it was extremely hard to get down just right... I just ordered a small phunnel with scalis mod from mnhookahs so we will see how that goes. But I'd recommend getting a medium or small phunnel just because the large one does use quite a lot of tobacco. I set it up for two people and dont even get through half of it because we are smoked out after 2 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still had plenty of tobacco left.Yeah I get about 3 hours out of a small phunnel as well (loaded with Tangiers), and still have tobacco left as well...Or I smoke it a hour a day for 3 days in a row if I'm not in the mood for a LOONNNGGG session. I feel like the Phunnel bowl actually saves money in the long run. My normal head takes the about the same amount of tobacco but is done in a hour or so.

samildanach Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 hey metalhead, why not try it out for yourself, go on to the how-to funhouse and check out lakemonsters phaking teh phunnel.. and i can guarantee you will end up buying a phunnel.. not only does it smoke a hell of a lot longer, but teh shisha tastes a lot stronger too..give it a shot... all you will waste is foil and time trying it out..

cafesaden Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I dont recommend the metal screens but that might just be me. I think the holes are either too big or they have way too many. ive always used hookah tinfoil. the funnel is worth it though, or smileys glass one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymptom Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I'm currently smoking some Blue Gumball with packed in a medium phunnel -- only 1/4 of it is packed, with a few holes over the tobacco, and it's smoking pretty great so far. Got about 3/4 of a 40mm 3Kings on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
