Definition
A multi-hole bowl is a traditional design of a shisha bowl featuring several small holes at the bottom of the tobacco chamber. Unlike the phunnel bowl, which has only one central hole, the multi-hole bowl distributes the airflow through multiple openings. This type of bowl is the oldest and most classic variant and was used long before the introduction of modern phunnel designs.
How it works
How Multi-Hole Bowl works
The shisha tobacco is placed directly into the bowl, with the holes at the bottom allowing smoke to be drawn through. Hot air flows from above through the tobacco and is channeled through the small holes into the smoke stem. Multi-hole bowls work excellently with various setups—whether aluminum foil, heat management devices, or chimney attachments. The smoking behavior depends greatly on the material used, the depth of the bowl, and the tobacco density.
