The Oblako Phunnel L Basic is a handmade, large-capacity hookah bowl manufactured in Russia. Part of Oblako's organic "Basic Line", it is crafted from high-quality white clay and undergoes a traditional milk-firing process rather than being coated in a colored glaze.
Key Specifications
- Capacity: 23–28 grams (up to 30g depending on the pack), making it the largest phunnel size in Oblako’s lineup.
- Height: 120 mm (approx. 12 cm).
- Outer Diameter: 79 mm.
- Inner Diameter: 72 mm.
- Depth: 14 mm.
- Weight: Approximately 180 grams.
- Material & Finish: White clay with a milk-fired organic coating (unglazed).
Performance & Core Features
- Organic Milk Firing: The clay is treated with a milk-baking process. This organic coating seals the pores of the unglazed clay to protect the bowl from absorbing tobacco syrup (molasses), which prevents "bleeding" and extends the lifespan of the bowl.
- Even Heat Distribution: Unlike fully glazed variants, the unglazed basic clay material redistributes heat more gradually and evenly. This helps prevent blonde or dark leaf tobacco from scorching prematurely.
- Phunnel Design: It features a single crater-shaped center volcano hole. This airflow system keeps tobacco juices locked in the bowl instead of dripping down into the hookah shaft, resulting in intensely flavored, thick clouds.
- Extended Group Sessions: Because of its 23–28g capacity, it is intentionally designed for heavy-use, multi-person lounge setups or long individual sessions lasting 1.5 to 2 hours.
- Compatibility: The top diameter fits standard heat management devices (HMDs) like the Kaloud Lotus, as well as traditional foil and Provost configurations.
