drone007 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Hey guys... just got my medium phunnel bowl from mnhookah. very pleased with the look and size of this bad boy. my roomates and i are extremely excited to try it. anyhoo.... first problem was that the bowl is much taller and my wind cover doesnt fit, so we propped it up with some scroungables haha. problem solved. next problem was to deal with the large middle hole. ive never tried the phunnel so i don't know how big of a problem it truly is, but i know about the scalli mod and such, so I started to think... I took a thin metal coal cover that came with the hookah, which we never use. cut out the middle with circles and proceeded to fit it as best i could around the hole. hopefully this will work well, the fact that the middle big hole is now 5 small holes may prove successful, plus the holes that now go down the sides of that middle hump may make the air circulate more fully, ala the scalli mod. we haven't tried it yet, but we will be smoking this afternoon, so I will let you know. i don't imagine that the metal will get too hot and burn the shisha, since this used to be used to cover shisha and protect it from the coals. seems like that would be its prime function... any comments?

rattler Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I think the only thing it will accomplish is keeping tobacco out of the hole...The Scalli mod actually redirects airflow through the tobacco. Only way to tell for sure is smoke that bad boy and post the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiKaL Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 That doesnt seem like it would work aswell. Scalli's mod forces the air down through the shisha where as since that as holes all over the air can pretty much just act as if it was uncovered. This is all speculation though because I havent used a Scalli mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unleashtheclown Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 That may work for keeping the foil from going against the hole, which reduces airflow when the foil covers the big hole. Also I think that would be awesome to use when Your packing the phunnel as I always have some bits of tobacco fall into the hole. I cant wait to see how it works, good luck.

drone007 Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 man.... this bowl is HEYUGEEEEEE. but anyway, it's working great. i can't say it's anything special putting that screen underneath the foil, but it seems to hit fine. no shisha went through the hole and we never had a problem overheating, except for one. it seems that the coal rolled onto the middle and people were basically inhaling the heat and it tasted horrible.im sure this is common knowledge to you, but heat all over the place is the name of the game. in our case, with three flavors, unless they mixed well, that doesn't work. so we tried to heat two flavors at a time, and it worked relatively well, except the havana mint overrides pretty much anything. mint taste was in every hit, it controlled the flavor. we stopped after probably 45 min and took a break. then on our second session we moved the coals to the pineapple spot and it tasted good, no more mint. overall i'm very happy and i won't be taking the screen out from the bowl because i didn't notice any negative effects. who knows, the scalli mod could improve everything, but until i get one, i'll be happy with the screen. damn, it takes a LOT of heat to get this bowl going. my roomates and i are not used to this amount of shisha. any questions are welcome haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerodynamic Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 well as said earlier, the phunnel is acting like it should w/o the mod. The whole purpose of the mod is to force the air down, but since its got 5 big holes on top, there is no point except as to act as a guard.But I am glad to hear it worked out all right. you packed too much mint into the damn thing.. try half as much.
