Absolutely true review... Thanks.

That's pretty much the path I took as well - Vortex are fine and do the work, but personally I prefer the *80feet Phunnel bowl* (15 to 20 gram size bowl) over the *Alien mini* for solo sessions, and the larger *Harmony phunnel* (25 - 35 Gram size) for social situations. - Easily the finest bowls I've found on the market for the Shisha smoker! :D

Which bowl can i use for Shiazo steam stones???

[@klaymonkey9073]

exactly where does the finesse come into play between Egyption and vortex bowls? from what i understand: You lightly & evenly scatter the tobacco about 1 or 2mm just below the bowl rim (so it doesn't burn), you seal a tight drum of foil atop the bowl (puncture 30 holes), and slighly overhanging the bowl's rim, you place three well cooked charcoals 120 degree from each other. Every 15 minutes or so you shift the coals around to distribute heat to the uncooked tobacco. As the coals burn down you gradually shift them into the centre of the bowl. So, where does the vortex bowl require practices different from the traditional egyption bowl?

Is it true you can smoke liquid sheesha outa vortex.. If their is any sheesha?

[@visualimpact7700]

i just ordered an amy python, there's a 'hot screen' with it, is it worth upgrading to the 'hotbox'?

[@KeenanMeadows]

Why is there a learning curve to the phunnel bowl? What do you have to do differently to get a good smoke?

[@Kek5kopF]

Also check out the Saphire Hot Shot RT bowl, its basically a reversed Vortex. A lot of people like it ;) Its good for tobacco saving.

[@chrismoon7681]

i have the mud bowl... got it with a hookah i bought that was very inexpensive. but it takes a small amt of shisha. i try not to over pack it because i dont want it to burn. it only last like 40 mins or less .... advice/

[@vuurwerkforlife122]

do you use quick light coals or natural coals quick lights give a harsh flavour

[@KasGikes420]

I just bought a 30cm tall hookah with the big hose and big vortex bowl of some guy for 15 euros. The clouds are so fucking huge! And the taste is awesome. It's deffinetly worth buying a medium sized hookah cause the drag is really great and you get way bigger and thicker smoke than you do with the really small ones. And the taste is better too.

[@SindreEide93]

I now got a HJ Alien mini phunel bowl and a vortex. I have tryed the alien and the smoke is allot better when i use that bowl. The tobacco i use is AF because i can't get another brand. But it is still not really good smoke, better but still really bad. Gonna try the vortex soon I think. But ye I use natural coals most of the time, but it happens that i throw on QL.

[@BluesfireTV]

I went Mod, Vortex, Turkish, and have a Harmony Phunnel on it's way.

[@marinaagathangelou4049]

Ye me too.I should be receiving my harmony next week.cant wait!

[@dailyreviver6175]

marina agathangelou How about a Syrian

[@SindreEide93]

I got 2 hookahs one small dubble hoose and one medium to big hookah single hose. I only got the mod bowls and I just don't get good smoke. I get no smoke or flavoure, or the other way around i get loads of smoke and a harsh flavour. (burning the shisha) I still have not gotten that sweet smoke experiense from my hookahs. Should i upgrade to a vortex or phunel to make it easyer to get good smoke?

[@game4life12]

Probably too late of a reply, but try a vortex bowl. Make sure everything's sealed tight, start with 3 coals to get it up and running, and then take 1 coal off to keep it cool. Try al falhker sisha its easier to control too

[@CountryMaster16]

nope thikness and volume got nothing to do with the size and the daw somes from the dismeter of the hose adapter and the hose itself

[@jordanazn]

make more videos!

[@how2doc]

[@markhiggs1946]

[@Luna_Christine]

Hedy?

[@yilu7366]

see

[@nanocasanose15]

I think it's funny how in my smoking adventure, I went from a Mod bowl, straight to a funnel bowl

[@N-VAMusic]

lol I have you beat I started with phunnel bowl on my friends hookah.

[@nanocasanose15]

***** Hahaha congratulations

[@EdDy4RheelZ]

I think most people start with mod bowl bcz that's what they get as a default when they first get their hookah, which was probably the case. I actually transitioned like the way this video shows. But I use both vortex bowl(Apple on Top) and funnel bowl bcz I only use Funnel bowl for Tangiers. Any other shisha, I use Apple on Top.

[@XCharlieOverPackedX]

crickey!

[@AndyFrogLee]

i take back that comment i was only using one coal works fine with two

[@JustinDoesStuff]

Then you're doing something wrong. Pack it about 1cm under the rim, and make sure its light and fluffy. It's not that hard to use.

[@mcdouches1]

i have a mod bowl i just got a hookah and it fucking sucks i cant get thick clouds and the tobacco is always burnt

[@gilleon4015]

Clean ur bowl and let the coal sit for 10 mins
