Definition
A phunnel, also called a funnel or single-hole bowl, is a special type of shisha bowl with only one central hole. The tobacco is placed in a circle around this hole. Phunnels are used with HMDs (Heat Management Devices), aluminum foil, or HMS (Heat Management Systems). A chimney cap is unsuitable because air would simply flow freely through the central hole. Phunnel bowls come in various colors, materials, shapes, and sizes.
How it works
How Phunnel works
When smoking a phunnel, heat is evenly transferred to the tobacco via aluminum foil or an HMD. The central hole ensures that no molasses drips into the smoke column, which keeps the flavor intense for longer. Since air is drawn through the tobacco, the phunnel allows even heat distribution and an intense smoking experience.
Benefits
Why Phunnel convinces
- Better flavor: The central hole keeps the molasses in the tobacco, preserving the flavor longer.
- Efficient heat distribution: Phunnels enable even heating of the tobacco, resulting in dense smoke.
- Versatility: Can be smoked with HMD, aluminum foil, or HMS – depending on personal preference.

What you should pay attention to
- Chimney caps unsuitable: A chimney cap does not work with a phunnel because air is drawn uncontrollably through the central hole.
- Often more expensive: High-quality phunnels made from special materials like stoneware or ceramic can be pricier than standard bowls.
