Coleman Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 The question is, Is it comparable to the tangiers phunnel in its use with tangiers or not? As I only have a pipe with a female port and I really want to smoke tangiers, I'm looking in to things I can use. On top of being able to fit my pipe its also much cheaper then a tangiers phunnel. so is it better to shell out the extra cash on a pico or should I just take the cheap route and get and elmas funnel?

Chreees Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Not sure about the Elmas one, but if you want something as close to a Tangiers phunnel, you'll want to try and find one of the Kasbah male funnel bowls that Mark had made. It was so close to my Tangiers Mini I could tell no difference in performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coleman Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 the other option, and i feel disgusting just saying it, is I could get an alien, as that will save me less money but will save me tobacco Not sure about the Elmas one, but if you want something as close to a Tangiers phunnel, you'll want to try and find one of the Kasbah male funnel bowls that Mark had made. It was so close to my Tangiers Mini I could tell no difference in performance.the Issue with those is availability, If i could find one I would get one though, cause the other tobacco saver idea is the alien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would hate to see you settle for the Alien. Anyway, why not just get a Pico and fab up an adapter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric makes them with certain dimensions for a reason. The Alien disregards those dimensions. That is why it fails, and paying $10 more for a better quality bowl is justified.

â€On Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 You should definitely just make an adapter, it's super easy. Get a short piece of copper or stainless steel tubing and put a bowl grommet on each end, done. If you really want to make it super tight, fill in the middle with tape to build it up on a taper so that the grommets fit perfect.Other than that, yeah, Kasbah bowl is the shit.

Hassouni Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) Kasbah bowl is great (though I think I'm down to one now ) but good luck finding them. I still talk to Mark every now and then but he's soooo out of the hookah game.The Elmas ones are ENORMOUS. If you want a bowl to smoke for like 8 hours, then go for it, but otherwise, they're overkill.Ty's suggestion of an adapter is probably your best bet though Edited September 28, 2015 by Hassouni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

â€On Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Personally, I get sick of SS pretty fast, but I would take burley. But, to be honest, as long as what you're ordering has the new label on it, it's gonna be good. Kasbah bowl is great (though I think I'm down to one now ) but good luck finding them.
