Choosing The Right Hookah Bowl

Are You Using The Right Hookah Bowl?

If you have ever smoked Al-Fakher and Fumari shisha then you know there is a big difference in moisture. Al-Fakher tobacco is wet but not to the degree of Fumari. All the juice from that Fumari shisha is just going right down your pipe if you don’t have the right hookah bowl.

A hand crafted Khalil Mamoon hookah, for instance, comes with a clay hookah bowl. This hookah bowl works fine for most tobacco but the super wet ones I find myself loosing flavor as it drips down into my vase. Most other hookahs are going to come with a ceramic bowl with holes on the bottom as well. If you haven’t yet tried one, a vortex or phunnel bowl is the solution to this problem.

Both of these hookah bowls have raised openings trapping the juice in the bowl and preserving the flavor. Phunnel bowls have a big hole in the middle that’s raised up. Vortex bowls have a raised center with smaller holes punched into the sides of the center.

Along with the proper bowl, proper heat management is the key to keeping your shisha flavor smooth. If it gets too hot it can go from pleasant to harsh really quick. An Apple On Top Provost or a KaLoud Lotus heat management system would be a quick fix for that. Regardless about 2 natural wood coals is all it takes to get a good smoke going.

If you want to invest in a bowl that’s going to last you for a very long time that does all these things look at the Vapor Silicone Bowl, KaLoud Samsaris hookah bowl, or the Apple on Top. Combined with their heat management systems, also available from SouthSmoke.com, you will get an unmatched hookah experience.
