Non-tangiers In A Phunnel


Recommended Posts

Some people here use the phunnel for everything. Other people hate the phunnel. I know the phunnel was designed for tangiers, and other people have had good experiences using other brands of tobacco in it. What do you guys think? Is it fine to use layalina, Al Fakher, starbuzz, fantasia, etc... in it? And if so, do you pack it differently? Aka, standard fluff like an egyptian bowl, or do you overpack it?

Thanks Guys.

Ps. I've tried searching around and I haven't really found a good definitive answer to this question. So I thought I might as well start a new topic.

Definitely. The phunnel is good for all juicy shishas in my opinion. For packing, just use the normal fluff technique works great, nothing special unless packing tangiers in it.

I smoke pretty much everything out of my phunnel bowl. The wet stuff is the best though (sb, af, layalina, tangiers blah blah)

The fluff style is the best way to go. Hole wise, maybe like two rings, one on the outside edge, the other in the middle.

Also, if its a small phunnel, how long should I plan on the bowl lasting? I heard about some tangiers sessions that last for like, 4 hours. But what can I expect for AF and the like?


Judge that by the amount you put in. With my medium phunnel a fluffed bowl of AF lasts (if memory serves) around 2 hrs. For me, it's either a 4-hour bowl for tight-packed wet shisha, or a 2ish hour bowl for everything else just fluffed in.

For those of you that own a small phunnel, how much shisha on average does it hold? On HC it says that it holds 40-50g, but my medium probably holds about 40g. Also, any suggestions on the best place to pick one up? I don't like using my medium phunnel for anything but tangiers.

I've never been able to smoke through a phunnel bowl of anything, that's how long it lasts me. I've smoked starbuzz in it for upwards of 6 hours and it still gives nice smoke but the quality of the starbuzz is such that the taste doesnt last all that time. But with tangiers, I've sat and smoked 5 hours and I still had about a third of the bowl unburned. Pisses me off sometimes but that is the value you get from your shisha using a phunnel.

I just put in an order for 2 small tangiers phunnel bowls so I'm pretty excited!!!!!!!! I've used my medium phunnel for non tangiers shisha before but I feel like I am wasting what's left unsmoked. With Tangiers it's another story. I don't mind smoking the T for 2 to 3 hours at a time.
