The Oblako Phunnel M Glaze is a popular premium hookah bowl handmade in Russia from high-quality white clay. Featuring a functional phunnel design and an enamel-glazed top section, it is widely recognized for optimizing flavor delivery and managing heat effectively.
Key Specifications & Design
Material & Structure: Handcrafted from heat-resistant white clay which absorbs heat gently and ensures an even distribution.
- Glazed Top Finish: The functional enamel glaze coats the upper bowl/depot area. It is designed to prevent molasses and tobacco syrups from soaking directly into the porous clay, making the bowl significantly easier to clean.
- Phunnel Structure: Features a singular, crater-shaped central hole. This raised opening keeps the juices from dripping down into your hookah stem, preserving the richness of your shisha profile.
- Capacity & Session Length: Holds approximately 15 to 25 grams of tobacco (depending on your packing method). It serves as a middle-ground size ("M") that safely sustains sessions lasting 45 to 60+ minutes.
- Setup Compatibility: Works seamlessly with standard foil setup options, Kaloud Lotus, or other Heat Management Devices (HMDs).
Community Note on Bleeding
On public discussion forums like Reddit, user opinions are mixed regarding long-term glaze durability. Some users have pointed out that over extensive use, the glaze can experience micro-cracking or "bleeding," allowing syrup to weep through the clay exterior, while others note that superficial surface hairline cracks are purely cosmetic and do not degrade the overall performance of the bowl.
