The Oblako Phunnel M Basic is a handmade Russian hookah bowl designed as an industry sweet-spot for everyday sessions. It uses a single central crater-shaped hole (phunnel design) that keeps shisha molasses trapped inside the bowl instead of dripping down into your hookah stem.
Key Specifications & Materials
- Material & Build: It is crafted from high-quality white clay.
- The "Basic" Finish (Milk-Threshing): Unlike the fully glazed variations, the "Basic" series undergoes a traditional organic process called milk-threshing (milking). The baked clay is dipped in milk and baked a second time. This seals the micro-pores to prevent shisha juices from bleeding into the clay, granting a natural water-repellent coating and an aesthetic matte earthy-brown finish.
- Capacity: It holds roughly 18g to 22g of tobacco, making it highly versatile.
- Session Length: Optimized for stable, robust 1 to 1.5-hour sessions whether solo or in a small group.
- Dimensions: Stands approximately 11.6cm to 12cm tall, featuring an outer diameter of roughly 7.3cm to 7.5cm.
Setup Recommendations
The Medium (M) size line accommodates both traditional aluminum foil setups (with or without a Provost) as well as modern Heat Management Devices (HMDs) like the Kaloud Lotus or other standard smokeboxes. It performs exceptionally well with both blonde leaf (Virginia) and dark leaf (Darkblend) tobacco varieties.
