Hookah is a traditional smoking device that has a rich history from back in the early 16th Century. It was first found in India, and in the latter part, it spread throughout the European country, and it became a tradition there. A hookah comprises a water pipe, hookah bowl, and hookah base. One may use various flavored tobacco to enjoy the hookah session while chilling with a group of friends or even chilling alone. There are multiple designs of hookah which one may found, but the typical structure of hookah is as follows:

  • Many have seen hookah having a small hookah bowl on top which contains a minimal amount of hookah tobacco.

  • A short chamber just beneath the hookah bowl where the dense white smoke is formed.

  • The hookah base is often filled with water for filtration purposes attached to a pipe through which one will inhale the smoke from the hookah.

  • There may be one hose or multiple hoses to choose from. Single hoses are widely used if you are planning to enjoy hookah alone, and some have numerous hoses which are widely used when one is with a vast group of friends.

This is one of the most used hookah bowls available globally. This type of hookah bowl has a prominent spire in the middle of the hookah bowl. These bowls have one large hole in the center like a funnel, unlike having multiple small holes, which helps in the overall ventilation of the hookah. Thus, it has become one of the popular options among regular hookah smokers. This hookah bowl doesn't allow flavored tobacco glycerine to drip into the hookah base water. It also has the best ventilation, which allows air to move freely between the hookah sessions. The central hole within this hookah bowl allows better airflow, which eventually produces dense smoke which one desires to have from a hookah session. Usually, the Phunnel hookah bowl is made up of clay which provides the best heat management and distribution purpose in the hookah.

Already many of the experienced hookah smokers are aware of the efficiency of John Bowls even if many didn't own one. John Bowls is one of the largest selling hookah bowls in the present times. This bowl has become a popular option. As the border of the hookah bowl is much lower than that of the hookah ridges. So one can pack the John Bowls evenly with aluminum foil to enjoy an excellent hookah session.


Furthermore, John Bowls are generally made with various items that have efficient heat management and distribution systems, making these bowls different from all the other hookah bowls available in the market. But there is one disadvantage of using the John Bowls, which I thought of sharing with you all, i.e., this hookah bowl contains a large amount of tobacco, so if anyone desires to enjoy a short and refreshing hookah session, then this bowl is not appropriate for them. As a result of which this hookah bowl many a time wastes a lot of hookah tobacco if it's not utilized correctly.

Experienced craftsmen make these hookah bowls as it is mostly handmade, so each bowl has its unique size and shape. The only major disadvantage of using this type of hookah bowl is that, if one is using flavor tobacco, the whole glycerine of the tobacco comes dripping all over the hookah base, resulting in the entire hookah losing its flavor real quicker than that of other hookah bowls. However, this bowl is one of the most affordable hookah bowls, which is widely available globally.
