The ceramic distributes heat evenly, so the flavor remains full from start to finish. The glossy green surface stands out in any setup, but it's about more than just looks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe phunnel shape distinguishes this head from a regular bowl. In a phunnel, the hole runs upwards through a central riser channel. This keeps the molasses in the head and prevents it from flowing out through the bottom into the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/waterpijp-vazen\"\u003ehookah vase\u003c\/a\u003e. You keep the flavor in the head, the vase stays clean, and your session lasts longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Phunnel Shape Makes a Difference\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a standard tobacco head, the holes are at the bottom. Molasses flows through them down into the stem. This gives a bitter taste to the smoke and quickly makes the hookah dirty. The Panama Hookah phunnel head solves this: the molasses stays in the head, the smoke draws upwards through the central channel and remains clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFill the head loosely, just below the rim of the riser channel. Do not press the tobacco down. A loose fill allows air to pass through and provides the best smoke. Check out the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/shisha-tabakskoppen\"\u003eshisha tobacco heads\u003c\/a\u003e in our assortment for more options. The connection at the bottom fits most shisha models you encounter today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterial: Why Ceramic\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCeramic is a deliberate choice for tobacco heads. It is robust and resistant to the high temperatures that coals produce. Aluminum heads get too hot too quickly. Clay heads are good, but ceramic lasts longer and is easier to clean. The smooth, glossy surface of this Panama head picks up less dirt than rough clay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCeramic is also odor and taste neutral. A head that absorbs the flavor of previous tobacco will carry that flavor into the next session. With ceramic, you don't have that problem. Every session you taste the tobacco you put in.

Make sure the tobacco does not extend above the rim of the riser channel, otherwise the airflow will be blocked. Then pull a piece of aluminum foil tightly over the head and poke regular holes in it. If you use a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/kaloud-en-metalen-chimney\"\u003eKaloud or metal chimney\u003c\/a\u003e, place it on top instead of foil. That regulates the heat more stably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace 2 or 3 \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/waterpijp-en-shisha-natuurkolen\"\u003ehookah coals\u003c\/a\u003e on the foil or in your HMD. Allow the head 3 to 5 minutes to come up to temperature. Only then begin to draw. A well-heated head gives thick, full smoke from the start. Rotate the coals a quarter turn halfway through to keep the heat even.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaintenance and Cleaning\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter use, allow the head to cool completely. Ceramic will crack if you cool it too quickly with cold water while it is still hot. Then rinse with warm water and a soft brush. Do not use abrasive cleaners - they will damage the glossy surface. Stubborn residue can be removed by soaking the head in warm water with a little dish soap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Right Coals for This Head\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreferably use \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/waterpijp-en-shisha-natuurkolen\"\u003enatural coconut coals\u003c\/a\u003e. They burn longer, provide even heat, and produce little aftertaste. Quick-lighting coals are convenient, but burn hotter and shorter. For a longer session, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/shisha-kolen\"\u003eshisha coconut coals\u003c\/a\u003e are the better choice. Light them with a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/waterpijp-kolenbrander\"\u003ehookah coal burner\u003c\/a\u003e and wait until they are gray all around before placing them on the head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eComplete Your Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA good tobacco head is the beginning. Also look for a good \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/waterpijp-slangen\"\u003ehookah hose\u003c\/a\u003e for a comfortable draw. A \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/losse-mondstukken\"\u003emouthpiece\u003c\/a\u003e makes your setup more hygienic. Don't forget the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/aluminium-folie-en-prikkers\"\u003ealuminum foil and pokers\u003c\/a\u003e if you don't use an HMD. Do you want a complete setup?
