Bowl Types

A Phunnel bowl does not have holes at the bottom of the bowl. Instead, Phunnel bowls have an open hole spike at the middle of the bowl as shown in the picture below.

1. Pros and Cons

Better heating of the shisha. Because of the spike at the middle, the foil and the charcoals are kept in a distance from the shisha tobacco. Thus, it is difficult to overhead and burn the tobacco.

Maintains shisha juices for longer time. Compare to traditional shisha bowls, Phunnel Bowls do not have holes at the bottom and hold the tobacco juices for longer time. Juice can not drain trought the holes.

Good smoke taste and smell. If user is carefull not to overheat (burn) the tobacco then the taste of the smoke is good throughout the session.

Low cost. Widely available and cheap bowl. Many variations of the bowl are available.

Ash contamination. Ashes pass trough the foil and get into the shisha.

Possible burning of the tobacco. Still possible burn the tobacco if it is overheated.

Breaking. Clay and Pyrex bowls can easily break.

2. How Phunnel bowls work

The Phunnel bowl is packed with shisha tobacco and covered with foil. On top of the foil we place charcoals to heat up the shisha. When the shisha heats to more than 120°C we start to get smoke that passes through the holes at the top of the spike. The smoke is then filter through the water and inhaled by the user.
