What are your view about mud bowl ( indian chillum )

[@Moccalocca100]

What is the best bowl? Im currently using HJ phunnel

[@SarkisAlexander]

Currently the best overall bowl which is good for any tobacco while not using as much tobacco as its competitors and at the same time delivering top tier flavor and performance - is the ARKA Tempest LP1

[@alexmatthews1968]

Bias response as he is the one who made the tempest bowl. there is no best bowl honestly imo none are best for eberything in my 10+ years smoking. it really depends what tobacco you want to use mainly, what heat management method(foil or hmd), and how long of session length you desire by yourself or with a group.

@@alexmatthews1968 I wasn’t going to comment bc every one of your comments so far only peaks into a singular aspect of the topic being put forth instead of assessing the entirety of what’s being said. But I draw the line at being labeled bias. Read my responses. Then assess what the question was. The OP didn’t specify which HJ bowl is being used, just that it’s a phunnel. The fact that he doesn’t know the name of his bowl points to the high likelihood that he is not an enthusiast at high level. Which also means he is probably using the most selling HJ bowl which is the Harmony. Given these points, you make an argument that I’m “biased” because I look further into what the OP would need which I specified with “most versatile”. Meaning a bowl a more casual smoker would make most use of - one that works with any HMD and any tobacco brand; but more importantly a bowl that uses half (or nearly half) the amount of tobacco as a Harmony bowl. Expand your mind, inquire instead of assume. Ask me why I recommended the Tempest instead of another option instead of sounding like a dickhead in public. Edit - I’m not even going to bother dissecting your very incorrect statement that only the tobacco brand and choice of how one manages the heat matter. The bowl is almost just as important as the tobacco brand, the way it was packed, and heat management. The evidence is in this very example above - the Tempest, using half the tobacco of the Harmony bowl, will give you a more flavorful and cloudier session while lasting just as long if not longer. The Bowl matters. If it didn’t all bowls would perform identical. They don’t. The fact that you don’t know this tells a far greater story here.
