@@SarkisAlexander Hi mate, just want to askwhat's your experience with the orange and black hookah at the back? Also can you do a review on it? Cheers.
I'm in your group but I had no idea about your affiliation with the retail site (forgot the name, sorry,) and had no idea you were doing all this work. Thanks for what you do and I'll try to support you.
it is really clear that people on youtube doesn't have that experience with vortex bowls. Once, I bought a clay vortex from Mazaya. Damn. Gave me the best smoke sessions ever, why I used it for 2 years. Now I only use the phunnel bowls, but if i find a clay vortex i am going to be all over it. Egyptian bowl packing is really a science, while phunnel and vortex bowl packing are for dummies. I have been smoking for 13 years now, and I remember back in the days where we experimented hardcore with the egyptian bowls, as it has to be perfected to work. Just think logically. The vortex has its holes on the sides, so all the airflow goes through the tobacco, whereas the phunnel bowls' airflow comes from the top, why it goes both through clean air and tobacco. So clearly, more flavour and smoke will come using a high quality vortex vs high quality phunnel bowl.
Hello, thanks for watching. I disagree with you on pretty much every point. What shisha tobacco you smoke, how you pack and heat manage are crucial to experiencing the best sessions - given that an ideal session is defined as one that brings out the cleanest and brightest flavor while producing large dense clouds and preserving those aspects for as long a time as the given shisha is capable of. Feel free to join the Hookah Unlimited FB group to continue this discussion, but more so to experience how to pack every bowl at their ideal, and based on the given shisha you use. Thanks again for watching friend!
Alpaca didnt bring the diffused spire to market. That was another first advancement by tangiers with the super chief. Years before OG now alpaca brought the apache out. Apache was more easily obtainable yes but not the first. As for the bridged spire that was being made before alpaca atlease the brand name was a thing even before OG branding. The predator was basically being made by a guy in his garage back when everyone was doing scalli mods to their tangiers bowls. I dont know if he worked with OG when they started exactly but without that guy the predator my favorite bowl ever made would not exist possibly. Gotta pay homage to the beginnings
Hello! I know it’s unorthodox but I don’t reveal my personal favorites - nor do I really have any in practice. I simply pair the bowl that pairs best with the shisha tobacco that I’ve chosen to smoke for the given session. Because no two tobacco brands are the same, I don’t usually use the same bowl for every session. However, there are two bowls that are incredibly versatile and work wonderfully with many different tobacco brands and types: the Alpaca Mini Rook (which I’ve reviewed in this channel) and the Alpaca Apache Medium Both of which you can find over at www.hookahunltd.com you can also go to the tobacco brand product page on the site and see a recommendation list of the bowls that pairs best with that brand. We’ve worked hard to take the hookah shopping experience to new heights, making it intuitive and as easy as possible
Hi. A better designation for Egyptian, Turkish, Russian classic bowls is a universal designation according to the type, namely "traditional" bowls. It is the shape of the traditional first bowls that were used and there were no others. Is the shape typically "traditional" (holes on the bottom). Then, later, various experiments with bowls began to be produced, which, however, are not determined by their country of origin - such as the Russian classic bowls mentioned in the video! Therefore, it is difficult to talk today about an "Egyptian" or a "Turkish" or a "classic Russian" bowl, since today these bowls are produced by various manufacturers - anywhere in the world. Therefore, let's all hookah experts speak a universal language! Let's call them according to the principle of air flow and their BASIC shape - as "traditional" bowls. Secondly, very popular, still evolving, are bowls of the phunnel type. Others, less popular, are already almost extinct. For example: UFO / alien, vortex, masta / apache / trypo, etc. .
In 5-10 more years these bowls will be obsolete so, as an expert, I pay little attention to such things. However, it is crucially important to differentiate the difference between a Turkish, egyptian, and syrian bowl for the sake of spreading knowledge. For example, an Egyptian bowl smokes quite differently from a Turkish bowl. And that’s the point of this video - to convey this information and allow people to spot the difference between one style and the other. Jumbling all on to one category is a disservice to the enthusiasts who deserve to know the differences.
@@SarkisAlexander Yes, that's true... The Turkish type and the Egyptian type differ in shape and therefore also in principle. The hot air then flows a little (really only a little!) differently in the square "kettle" (bowl bottom) than, for example, in the case of the round "kettle". Then the volume of the bowl and the use of HMD or aluminum foil also play a role. Everything is related to everything. But the basic division... remains always principled and uniform... old and very long used (traditional) hookah bowls, they have holes at the bottom... usually 4-6, it doesn't matter at all. Because the principle of hot air passage remains the same. Although the air flow also affects how effectively the tobacco layer is heated, how the tobacco layer is heated also depends on OTHER factors, which an experienced hookah fan must know. So it's more about the fact that for beginners, the division of traditional bowls into sub-types is unnecessarily confusing. If we should have fun in this way, even 20 years ago, ... everything was different than today :). The additional aroma for hookah tobacco is still called WRONG, as natural "molasses". But it is no longer natural molasses. it is no longer used almost at all (neither in hookah tobaccos nor in additional flavors for tobacco). It is glycerin mixed with an artificially created aromatic substance. The composition of hookah tobacco (I mean the liquid component in hookah tobacco) was quite different 20 years ago than it is today. But it's still called the same. This is so that beginners have an overview of these things. 20 years ago there were of course also hookah bowls, different from today. The material used was almost always fired clay, sometimes with glaze. No shapes other than traditional were used (funnel, vortex, alien, etc.). And even if they did, they were not at all popular in the world.
The only Stone bowl we recognize at UNLTD is the Stone Bowl. Though though none of the brands you mentioned were firsts in their respective styles nor are they common, ergo fitting a Introduction to Bowl Styles video. Stone Bowls were the first to create lipped bowls for HMD use, but that isn’t exactly a bowl style.
How can you make a hookah bowl Video and show one Hookah John bowl and show his worst bowl what happened to the 80ft Bowl what happened to the Retro Harmony what happened to the Ferris Bowl Hookah John Bowls are the best selling bowls in the Hookah World it’s not a fair Review of bowls.
Well, given the fact I was talking about the original Phunnel bowls and the advancements of them, the 80 doesn't exactly bring much to the table - what was I supposed to do exactly? Mention the second Phunnel bowl? No, I mentioned the original creators and the only brand that's doing anything to evolve the Phunnel bowl in a way that matters. Then when I was talking about the Vortex bowls, I showcased a vortex bowl. Whether it's good or not, I did not mention because it is irrelevant to a bowl styles video. It seems to me that you missed the point of the video.
oh I see now, you think this is a review video. That explains everything. Allow me to clarify: this is not a review. Hence why it is not titled as "Review"
And I love your videos and I think you are a great guy I just didn’t understand how you with such hookah knowledge and experience you would not mention none of HJ other bowls
@@eddyblasco14 the best selling bowls in the world are Egyptian Bowls and Turkish bowls. I don’t understand why I would mention a standard phunnel bowl when I already mentioned the first and original Phunnel Bowl. This was not a lineup of what are the best bowls, as the title says this was a Introduction to Different Styles of bowls.
