Oblako Bowl Phunnel M Black - Handmade Ceramic Shisha Tobacco Bowl

Oblako Phunnel M hookah tobacco bowl in black

The Oblako Bowl Phunnel M is a ceramic hookah tobacco bowl that is handmade in Russia. The black version has a matte, sleek surface that pairs well with modern hookahs. White ceramic forms the base, and the black coating gives the bowl its striking color.

What distinguishes this shisha tobacco bowl is its phunnel design. In a regular bowl, the juice from the shisha tobacco flows down through the holes into the hookah vase. In a phunnel bowl, there is a raised rim around the central hole. This keeps the juice in the bowl, and the flavor remains full and strong for longer.

Features and dimensions

The Oblako Phunnel M has a width of 7.5 cm and a height of 12 cm. The inner depth is 1.3 cm. That may not sound like much, but it is enough for 20 to 22 grams of shisha tobacco. This is precisely the amount for a session of more than an hour and a half. Size M is the middle size in the Oblako range and works well for both solo sessions and small groups.

Because each bowl is handmade, there may be small differences in shape and color compared to the product photo. This is normal and makes each Oblako tobacco bowl unique.

Why choose a phunnel bowl for your shisha?

A hookah tobacco bowl with a phunnel design is popular among people who smoke a lot of shisha and want every session to be good. Due to the crater-shaped central hole, the tobacco juice stays in the bowl. This juice carries the aromas. If it leaks, you taste less. With the Oblako Phunnel M, that flavor is preserved from start to finish.

Ceramic is also a good material for a ceramic hookah tobacco bowl. It heats up evenly and retains heat well. Fewer temperature fluctuations, more consistent smoking behavior, and coals that burn out less quickly.

Who is the Oblako Phunnel M for?

This shisha tobacco bowl is suitable for people who already have some experience with hookah smoking and consciously choose quality materials. Beginners can also use it, but you will only notice the biggest advantage when you know how to fill it properly and manage the heat well. Those accustomed to cheap clay bowls will immediately notice the difference: the smoke is fuller, the flavor lasts longer, and the bowl feels more robust.

The M size also suits people who don't always have large groups. You have enough tobacco for a pleasant session, but you don't waste unnecessary amounts. Do you always have large gatherings? Then also look at other Oblako shisha products in larger sizes.

Setup and use

Fill the Oblako Phunnel M just below the inner rim. Pack the tobacco loosely so that air can flow through it. Do not press it firmly. Cover the bowl with aluminum foil or use a Kaloud or metal chimney for the best heat distribution. A Kaloud system is ideal with this bowl: it regulates the temperature and you need to turn or move your coals less often.

Place the bowl on your hookah and check that the connection is secure. A good seal provides more draw and less air loss. Then start slowly and let the bowl heat up properly first. After two to three minutes, the smoke will draw well, and you will get the full clouds for which Oblako is known.

Cleaning and maintenance

Ceramic is easy to clean. Rinse the bowl with warm water after use. If there is a lot of residue from burnt remnants, let it soak in warm water for half an hour. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents, as they can damage the coating. Dry the bowl thoroughly before storing it. The coating is quite durable, but most ceramic bowls do not survive hard knocks or falls on tiled floors. Treat it with some care, and it will last for years.

The right coals for this hookah tobacco bowl

For the Oblako Phunnel M, preferably use shisha natural coals. Natural coals burn longer and more evenly than quick-light coals. They also give less aftertaste. Two to three pieces of coal are usually sufficient. Place them on the outer edge of the foil or Kaloud, so that the heat does not go directly over the central hole. This way, you avoid an overly hot session and keep the flavor good.

Don't have a good shisha coal burner to light your coals yet? An electric burner is the most convenient and safest for home use. Also check out our hookah coal burners for a complete overview.

Complete your shisha setup

A good hookah tobacco bowl is just the beginning of a great session. Make sure the rest of your setup is also correct. A good hookah hose provides a pleasant draw. A clean hookah vase with fresh water gives cooler and smoother smoke. And don't forget your shisha tobacco: the flavor and quality of your tobacco largely determine how enjoyable your session will be.
