timmediahOU Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I am quasi new to Hookah, i have smoked only my friend's hookahs, and I was wondering what to do. I ordered my first hookah this week and I am wondering if I should order a phunnel bowl. What does it do compared to the standard clay egyptian bowl. THe reviews for it seem excellent and i am seriously considering it. Especially if it improves the hookah experience.Let me know your thoughts and suggestions please.-tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that normal bowls are easier to use then funnels. Also if you are new... I am guessing you will not be smoking everyday, so the tobacco juices will sink to the bottom of the bowl, and then you wouldn't get that good of a smoke. I didn't get a funnel bowl until I had been smoking for about 3 months. The funnel bowl does help with flavor, but heat management can be a bitch. I hope you enjoy your hookah as much as I enjoy mine. If you need any other tips or help we are here for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmediahOU Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 thank you very much for your input, we shall see, i might wait a few more weeks to get used to smoking. I kinda absorb as much information on something when i am into it and try to learn how to get the most out of it. BTW i hate t.u. even though i am from Texas hmp lol. I hope both of our schools beat them next year. Currently i am at OU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scheetz Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I would wait about a month or so depending on how much you are smoking. To be honest, I dont notice a difference with a phunnel bowl over a regular unless I am smoking Tangiers from it. The only other positive from the phunnel is it holds far more than my regular.

Zerodynamic Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 yeah, I'll stick with whats above... use the basic clay bowl for a month until you got things down, then bring on the phunnel and let the phun begin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oggie505 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I agree with useing the basic bowl for a bit. My fav bowl is the wide bowls most people sell, I have a tang wide but only use it for tang and am gonna get a phunnel soon, it seems the phunnel is good only with the wetest of shishas. I can get nakhla which is a dry shisha to smoke for ages out of a standard mya bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbomberto Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Screw that, treat yourself and get a phunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofdavid Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 If you have already ordered your first hookah (what did you get?!), stick with what you have for now. The next time you make an order for coals or shisha, I'd highly recommend getting a phunnel (glass or otherwise) from mnhookahs.com or any other reputable seller (check forums for feedback on who sucks and who doesn't). The phunnel really makes your shisha last a lot longer and pays for itself after a while. I love my phunnel bowls... I smoked Kashmir Peach for an entire weekend when I first got it... all from one bowl. But, like I said, you've got to learn to crawl before you learn how to walk.

timmediahOU Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 I got a 28in egyptian from thehookah.com...came with a box of 3k and two tubs of Al Amir. I got Peach and Double Apple. I am excited, I understand the crawling before walking. I might just place my next order from hookahcompany and get bowl and some shisha in a few weeks.tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
