Save your shisha juice with this ingenious product! This large Phunnel hookah bowl is great for enhancing the flavor of your premium shisha tobacco through its unique funnel shape.
I mainly use this bowl with my Kaloud Lotus which is a perfect fit to the small phunnel bowl - Since it is machined porcelain, it has no odd shape and lines up with the lotus perfect - The small is a great size for 1 or 2 people and you can be sparing with the shisha if you want a smaller session - Very good performance, especially with the Kaloud!
I love it - Much more durable than my Vortex and hits a lot harder produces a bit less smoke but I don't care about that - I mainly smoke Fantasia and Starbuzz so i like to keep the juices in the bowl and the phunnel does just that - Lasts about 90 min per bowl if well packed -
Heard about this bowl for a while, always wanted to try it - It takes some trial and error, but when you get it, u got it - Normally I use the ultimate combo bowl, and never get a buzz - Using this bowl with a windcover I got a buzz so intense I could barely stand, the flavor is much better using this, considering it doesnt drip down into the stem, the shisha lasts a very long time - This thing knocked me on my ass, I suggest u get one immediately - This bowl should be in every smokers arsenal - Also great for parties - 9/10
This phunnel is amazing! Upgraded from a vortex and I have to say it was a good upgrade - Fast shipping! A+ service from hook-shisha - com
Me and my girlfriend used to own a vortex and liked it quite a bit, unfortunately we dropped - We were very disappointed - So we went 45 mins away to a place in San Antonio called Suck It San Antonio off Babcock and went to buy another however they only had blue vortexs, our hookah being pink with a red would look dumb with that so instead we got a phunnel for the mean time - To our pleasant surprise the phunnel was MUCH BETTER - I'm two hours into a session with three coco Naras with out even a little bit of harness and the flavor is still greatAF Spearmint - Great clouds it does take a little long to start up but it is defiantly worth the wait - The phunnel is superior in everyway to a vortex - The vortex get harsh often and the sessions aren't even close in time or enjoyment
It's like comparing movie theater pop corn to that bagged "movie theater" pop corn you pop in the microwave - Yeah, it's pop corn, and yeah it's good, it's just - - - different - Brass tax here kids is that this is a phunnel bowl for less than $20 - 00 and they are readily available - If you really want to spend the time hunting down a true tangiers phunnel, DO IT; But, this is definitely a satisfactory alternative - In summation, is it the real deal? No - Is it good? Yes -
I like it, but sometimes it seems to get way too hot.

the best, just pack tightly and dont poke holes in center - , - last so long
I have tried both the phunnel and the vortex bowls - I agree that they are in a league of their own against regular bowls - My water doesn't change colors anymore, my hookah stays cleaner longer, the flavor lasts longers, sessions have increased 20 minutes, and the bowl itself is cleaner - When it comes to phunnel vs vortex I go phunnel - Reading other reviews I saw complaints about tinfoil touching the middle, I have never had this problem - I have never had heat management problems - The only complaints i have about this bowl would be that is really big, so you have to use more shisha per session - Using this bowl I only get 2 sessions out of a 50gm box - I also have to use more coal to cover the bowl - I would recommend this bowl to anyone over any other bowl so far - Vortex works great, but it's really hard to clean, especially once the holes get plugged up -
I had used a traditional bowl for years which needed cleaning after every use, do to the shisha juice melting down the central pipe - This bowl will extend the life of your shisha while you smoke it and, you won't have to clean the main pipe as much -
I got this bowl in January 2011 and fell in love right away - My friends all made a huge deal because it's a "chinese phunnel bowl" instead of a "tangiers funnel bowl" which was the original, and they refused to smoke out of it because they believed that it wouldn't be as good of a smoke - Not only do my smoke sessions [solo or with 4+ people] last At least three hours [usually 4-5], but the flavor is superb, and the smoke is thick and perfect - Anyone dissing this bowl has either never tried it because they're all about tangiers [which is fine, whatever suits you] or doesn't know how to load it, period - This bowl DOES take a lot of shisha, and three coconaras to start it off [moving down to two coals whenever you go to light new ones] but it's amazing - I will warn you, however, that if you're using a shisha that isn't very juicy, it isn't the best choice - I recommend Fantasia, Social Smoke, Al Fahker, and Fumari - Anything else, and you should use a regular/mod bowl -
I've had mine for almost a year before it was broken at my local joint - I originally purchased it to have Tangiers but man this bowl had turned into my favored bowl - I used it everytime I smoked and gave it lots of love - This is a very great bowl -
This beats "default" bowls by a mile - The Phunnel works as advertised - keeping ash and syrup out of the stem, making for a consistently smooth smoke - 10g of shisha easily lasts over 90 minutes, hitting the neighborhood of 2 hours every time I've used it - The bowl is easy to wash and keeps the hookah clean too - Haven't tried a Vortex yet because I can't find any way to improve on this bowl - Highly recommended -
I bought one and so far i love it - Its never harsh and the flavor lasts forever - The other reviews are right, it can be tricky to set up and it goes through coals, but it hits amazing and tastes great, even with my cheaper tobacco -
