Which bowl for SB?

[lav7456]

I know a lot of people here hate Starbuzz, but I am very much a noobie and I dont think I will be smoking that for very long. But i own an small phunnel, medium tangiers phunnel, vortex, and of course a standard egyptian. Which one should i use and how should i go about preparing it and packing it?

Thanks!
Jose

Given it's "wet" nature, one of your phunnels or vortex would be a better option. Hole pattern should be tons of small holes in three rings over top of where the shisha is. Packing would be similar to any wet shisha you pack. Fluff it in. Make sure it doesn't touch the foil. Be sure you don't use too much heat or it will burn easily from what I have been told. I have personally never had starbuzz but that's my general advice. Someone else might be able to give me exact advice.

BTW: The Alien Phunnel is a product produced by a banned vendor and should not be mentioned for future reference.

Oh, I really didn't know about now being able to mention that. But thanks for reply

It works well in any of your bowls.

My views are that the vortex and funnels smoke about the same. Sometimes the vortex is more restricted but some of my funnels are more restricted than my 2 vortexs.

Its a wetter tobacco, so it will probably be best in a non traditional style bowl, but will work fine in one.

Toilet bowl No but in all seriousness a phunnel or vortex would be the best bet

[CenlaKokem]

it will work fine in any of them. i typically use whichever bowl i touch first. you would prolly be better off with a vortex or a phunnel. its wet but i dont find i have as much of a problem with it dripping down the stem like i do with al fakher.

See, i have yet to have a successful session. I have been fooling around and i always seem to burn the shisha within five minutes of putting the coals on. I have over 200 dollars put into this fsirly new hobby/lifestyle of mine and I hope it doesnt go to waste. Im determined to get this working though.

Ok, so lightly fluff that stuff in.

In your smallest funnel or egyptian use 2 coconut coals

In your medium bowls I think 3 will suffice.

Keep the coals at the edge.

I'd go vortex. unless you have a huge phunnel bowl to tight pack it in and get rid of in one sesh lol

Vortex, loose pack, 2 naras/jamras, windcover when needed, and 2 sheets of foil.

I would use Vortex or Phunnel. 2 Coconut coals should be fine. If using quick lights, definitely have them hanging off the edge. They burn a bit hotter than natural coals, and make it easier to burn your tobacco.

Thanks for responses guys! I will be playing around with it to see what works. I really want to get this working already.
