Rocketman Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 [quote name='KeepItSimple' date='13 April 2010 - 03:35 AM' timestamp='1271147729' post='463396'] I would pay like 25 tops, but would hope it was cheaper. It all depends on how it smokes, you know. I mean technically it's priceless because it will never break, rust, or any of that. But it's still just a bowl, so it doesn't warant any more than the twenties-thirties. [/quote] Gotcha. I'm trying to cut down on costs by casting it as close to finished as possible, minimal machining...but that also adds to the complexity of the molds. So I'll have to see if I can still come out on top with all the time involved. I have a load of projects on my plate, but hopefully I can have some made in a months' time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexagonmaster Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Looks awesome man. I'm a fan of minimalistic design like that, and I would definately be interested in one if you get them into production (as long as you ship to Norway that is, and I will of course pay you some extra for the hassle this might cause). By the way, do you think you would be able to make a vortex bowl like this one, http://www.hookah-shisha.com/p-6311-vortex-hookah-bowl.html ?

Rocketman Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 I could do a vortex bowl but the tooling and finishing process would be more complicated. I would be able to ensure all the holes are kept at the top though. I don't have a problem shipping internationally it's just a pain to fill out the customs forms, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngraz617 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I'm down for one. Hell, I smoke alone 98% of the time and have 3 Aliens, 2 Tangiers phunnels, 3 chinese phunnels, 9 Vortex, 5 Egyptian, 4 Mods, 5 tradtionals and who knows what else. I'll add that for sure!!

dizzbizz Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Count me in too, for the batch. I'd say $15 plus shipping is reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cbass Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I just wanted to say that this thread inspired me to try machining my own mini phunnel as well It's being used for the first time ever right now actually and I gotta say I think aluminum is the way to go, mine gets pretty bloody hot though. But damn does it smoke nicely, might post some pictures up for you peoples when it's cooled down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I've been smoking out of mine some more, and it has been getting quite toasty, but the smoke is always superb, and the shisha seems to cook more to the bottom. Please post pics of yours when its cooled down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slack Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I agree with KeepItSimple. It is priceless, but I am cheap so $20-$25 shipped would be my top price. Great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketman Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 Hey guys, Its been a while I know - this last year has been pretty rough for me. I'm getting my production back on line here. Here's pictures of my latest design - it's pretty close to what I'll be able to make a production run with. These are "Mini" size [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/LtJerryRigg/186749149_photobucket_30567_.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/LtJerryRigg/186749149_photobucket_30568_.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/LtJerryRigg/186749149_photobucket_30569_.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/LtJerryRigg/186749149_photobucket_30570_.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/LtJerryRigg/186749149_photobucket_30571_.jpg[/img] Sorry no action shots tonight. Cell cam doesn't pick smoke up well. I almost think this version is too small, I need to widen the bottom - it doesnt fit well with a white silicone grommet. I'll be working on a Medium size next. I'll need a few Beta testers... -Rocketman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I'd be willing to test it out for you and give my thoughts of it in comparison to a Tangiers Mini Phunnel and also a Crown Micro Phunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
