When you see the photos at the end of the article, you will understand that the number of varieties of cups exceeds all reasonable limits (and this is probably only 10% of the total variety). How to choose a hookah cup from all this gigantic assortment? Which cups are best?

The Internet is full of reviews on various cups, but it’s not at all necessary to look at all of them, because, oddly enough, there is no big difference in smoking on different cups. For most of these reviews, the cups are provided by manufacturers or shops, and any manufacturer will praise their material, their "exclusive" form, etc., you should not pay attention to all this.

Any cup has three characteristics:

1. Material
2. Shape
Size 3

Material

Most cups are made from clay. The most classic are cups made of brown clay, but there are many others - white, colored glazed, ceramic and others. In any case, the base is always clay (with the exception of silicone and glass), and various processing methods only change its appearance and add strength, but the material has almost no effect on the taste and overall quality of smoking. Some cups heat up faster, some slower, by properly adjusting the heat from the coal, you can smoke perfectly on any cup. You can often see in the description of cups such an indicator as thermal conductivity, the words “keeps heat well”, all these words can be safely ignored, because. you need to get used to any cup and just understand how much to put coal.
Thus, when choosing a material, it is better to pay attention to ease of use. Glazed and other non-rough cups are more convenient, because. tobacco after smoking does not stick, they are easy to clean. On this, perhaps, all the differences end. Silicone cups do not break, but not everyone likes the fact of smoking on such material, although it does not melt.

Form

Despite the apparent diversity, according to the shape of the cup are divided into only two types: classical And fanel. With the classic ones, everything is clear without explanation, there are just holes inside. Tobacco will fall into too wide ones, traction will be worse because of too small ones. When smoking on a classic cup, it is better to make a hole in the tobacco to improve traction.

The shape of the fanel (from the English "funnel" - a funnel, although it is often written "phunnel") is characterized by the presence of a bulge in the middle of the cup, at the end of which there is a hole or holes. This form is much more convenient than the classical one:
- tobacco syrup does not flow into the mine;
- you can put tobacco both tightly and “airy”;
- always light traction, because holes are not clogged with tobacco;
- Cup preparation time is shorter.

Ceteris paribus, it is always better to take a fanel than a classic, this form greatly simplifies life.

Size

Taking too big a cup in the hope that it will last longer is almost always pointless., because the top layers will start to taste bitter before the bottom layers start to taste. Medium sized cups are the best for most people. Smaller cups are more suitable for strong tobaccos as in larger cups, the effect of nicotine will be too strong due to the larger volume of tobacco.

The small fanel-type cups have several sub-varieties, the most famous of which are alien and pico. Something supernatural from smoking on Aliena or some other form will not happen, the main reason for using them is convenience: low consumption of tobacco, you can enjoy the taste without excessive nicotine, but, in general, for most people it will be more convenient to take a medium-sized cup, put less tobacco there, but more coal.

Please note that the hole on top is just below the edges of the cup, because. otherwise, the foil may stick and nullify traction.

Other

There are no cups for specific tobaccos. But there are reasons why some cups actually work better with some tobaccos. For example, Darkside Medium tobacco contains a lot of syrup, which makes it quite inconvenient to smoke it on a classic cup, the syrup will drain into the shaft. If you smoke it on a large fannel, then it will have to be fluffy, "airy" because of which the smoke (more precisely, steam) will be too strong, so this tobacco is usually rammed, and smaller cups are better suited for this. There is no magic here, just convenience. Another example is World Tobacco Original tobacco, it is corny very expensive, so it is better to smoke it on very small cups.

Due to the huge popularity of such a convenient thing as kaloud, cups with a special recess for it began to appear. In principle, kaloud can also be used perfectly on a regular cup, without a notch, but it is a little more convenient with it. Please note that some small cups cover the holes of the kaloud with their edges, so you won’t be able to use it normally on them.

After reading the article, you already understand what to look for when choosing a cup, it is not necessary to look for any specific ones, because, given their gigantic variety, they may not be in every store. Nevertheless, the following types of cups proved to be very good in operation.

Classic

White "faience", smokelab evil bowl (or other similar from smokeclub), as well as any cups made of brown clay of sufficient depth, size and accuracy (often they are quite crookedly molded). Don't chase too much for "real Egyptian cups", they are usually quite small, crooked and nothing special. You should also not take MYA cups, due to their small size and material properties, they heat up very quickly and simply cannot be touched.

1. Ordinary small clay cup of classical shape
2. Same thing
3. Same thing
4. "Faience" cup made of white clay. Very durable. Such cups are often called UPG, from the word Upgrade form. Number 4 is not the original more "white" cup.
5. The same, but the color is not so bright. This is the original UPG cup. It does not differ from the original in any way, except for the color.
6. Same as number 4, but a little more
7. Smokelab Cup
8. Same thing
9. Smokelab Evil Bowl. There are no super effects from it, just a beautiful cup, even, durable and easy to use.

Regular size fanel

Fannels from Smokelab, Cosmo Bowl, white "faience" fannels. A very good Smokeclub Mummy cup, it has an optimal depth and has a notch for the kaloud.

1. Cup 50 clouds. Expensive, because absolutely the same Chinese ones are several times cheaper.
2. Chinese fanel. Not very good because kaloud can slip off it.
3. Chinese clay fanel. Ok and cheap.
4. Smokelab fanel. Excellent cup, thanks to the glazing, very easy to clean.
5. "Faience" white fanel. Good solid cup.
6. "Faience" white fanel is not original. Good solid cup. It differs from the original only in a whiter color.
7. Smokelab Mummy - a great cup with good depth and a notch for kaloud.
8. The same, but with icing. In principle, the Mummy is already well cleaned.
9. Silicone cup HK 50 Clouds. The best choice of silicone, convenient for kaloud.
10. AMY silicone cup. Also a good silicone cup, but don't confuse it with a fake, it's easy to guess by the price. A fake always costs up to 700 rubles, and also visually does not look presentable.

fanel small size

Again Cosmobowl, Smokelab Martini, Smokelab Flames and others.

1. Chinese small fanel. OK.
2. Small fanel from HK 50 Clouds. Not much different from the Chinese one on the left, but much more expensive.
3. Cosmobowl is a great cup.
4. Smokelab Flames - a great cup for very small fills.
5. Smokelab Mini Phunel is a great little fanel.
6. Cosmobowl is a great cup.
7. Marvel Cosmobowl is a great cup.
8. Smokelab Martini is a great cup.

You should not chase American cups Hookahjohn (HJ), Brazilian Made, OG and others, there is nothing special about them, the more expensive the better, it does not work here.

silicone cups

The AMY silicone cups were the first and have proven to be excellent due to the fact that they do not break. The 50 Clouds HK cups are also great, especially with the kaloud notch. Of silicone cups, the Samsaris cup is also particularly famous, largely due to its unusual filling with swirls. However, numerous experiments have shown that the cup is not worth the money.

Never buy cheap Chinese silicone cups, they are much cheaper, but the quality of the material is very doubtful.

Now the huge assortment of hookah cups no longer seems so incomprehensible, and you can easily choose the right cup for yourself in any store.

P.S.

Often on hookah forums you can see posts about UPG cups. This name comes from the words Upgrade Form. For a person who has not been involved in the hookah industry for the past few years, the situation with original and “non-original cups” will be absolutely incomprehensible. Initially, these cups were made at a factory in St. Petersburg. And there were two classic forms - regular and large, as well as one fanel. Of all three, only the large cup bore the inscription Upgrade Form. The most popular were not large cups, but the standard size (unfortunately, at the time of photographing, I did not have one available). And in order to completely confuse everyone, nothing at all was written on these most popular standard cups, nevertheless, they went down in history as Upgrade Form, UPG or UPG, by analogy with their larger relative. After some time, another manufacturer began to make these cups, completely copying the original design. These cups are "more white". The most interesting thing is that this new manufacturer began to write the Upgrade Form on the cups of the standard size, because of this, the non-original cups began to look more original than the original. Well, in order to finish off the buyer, it will be useful to know that the fake and the original differ only in color, there are no special differences in their properties, and the word “fake” here sounds somehow rude, given that there is no difference. In general, any white cup is normal, don't bother looking for "fake" and "original".

Article written by smokehookah for Alibaba

A lot depends on the hookah bowl. If it does not warm up well, it will automatically give off the taste of the tobacco mixture badly. Moreover, the bowl should not only warm up well, but evenly. It is due to optimal heating that high-quality bowls allow you to perfectly smoke absolutely any fillings for a long time, whether it be air fillings, overpacks or trombos. Bowls from which manufacturers are the highest quality and most popular today? What bowls are really worth having in your collection and what should you not spend money on? Which bowls are not only practical, but also original? You will find answers to all these and many other questions in this article.

Top 10 hookah bowls

1. Turka - Turkish bowl made of clay- great for light tobaccos like Fumari. The advantage of this bowl is excellent traction, as the holes in it are quite large. These holes are also a disadvantage, since tobacco often falls through them into the shaft into the flask. However, you can live with it and this bowl is a great and inexpensive option. Just such a bowl came with my very first hookah - I still love it very much and do not use it just because in a new hookah the bowl should be external, not internal.

2. Egyptian clay bowl- perfect for Nahla, also goes well with light tobaccos such as Starbazz. All classic Egyptian bowls are made by hand, so if you find that it is not very even and even crooked, it does not matter! It will not affect the quality of smoking in any way.

This bowl is made of faience and everything on it smokes just great: Tangiers, Nahla, all light tobaccos. Holds heat very well. Recently, batches of not very good quality began to appear at this St. Petersburg manufacturer, but there were no complaints about the old ones. In any case, you can try to purchase such a bowl from a new batch, what if you are also lucky? Moreover, they are not so expensive.

Also a very good bowl, which is distinguished by a large consumption of tobacco. This is a bowl for large companies and long gatherings with a hookah. For independent smoking or smoking in a small company, it is not very suitable. If you do not have the opportunity to buy several different bowls, I would still choose a small Upgrade form.

5. Upgrade form fanel. Also a large bowl with a decent flow rate. Smokes great, heats up evenly. This bowl also has great traction as it has one single large hole that is not blocked by anything.

6. Kaloud Samsaris (Samsaris)- a bowl made of heat-resistant silicone, designed for a block. Very expensive bowl of interesting shape. The manufacturer recommends to hammer it with the air method. The compartments in it are specially designed to make a variety of delicious mixes. Another advantage of silicone bowls is that they do not require the use of any seals. I didn't like this bowl. Yes, it looks quite impressive, but still it is not worth the money and is inferior in quality to clay.

7. Amy deluxe- silicone bowl It takes a lot of time to warm up any silicone bowls, but this is their plus, since they do not overheat and there is less chance of burning tobacco on them. This bowl differs from Samsaris only in design, it smokes in the same way and costs much less.

8. Hookah John harmonica. Wonderful bowl made of glazed clay. Heats up great and evenly. Very expensive, but looks great and has excellent working qualities.

9. Smokelab harmonica. The undoubted advantage of this hookah bowl is the presence of special slots on the “volcano”, which do not allow losing traction even if, under the influence of heat, the foil begins to sag and block the main “vent”.

It is also glazed clay. Also a wonderful hookah bowl with excellent traction and working qualities.

Smoking a hookah is an oriental tradition, which is also expressed in the features of the smoking device itself. Its original addition can be a Turkish hookah bowl. In the most traditional version, it is made of clay by hand from a special type of material that is resistant to temperature extremes.

Features of Turkish hookah bowls

If you strive to stick to tradition in everything, we advise you to buy Turkish hookah bowls. They are one of the most popular, as they are performed in accordance with Eastern traditions. Note that you can find such accessories in the line of far from every brand, which makes them even more original and unusual. Turkish bowls are otherwise called "Turks" and have the following features:

• thick walls, thanks to which tobacco heats up quickly and maintains an optimal temperature level for a long time;
• large openings, which ensures excellent traction;
• average tobacco consumption - about 20-25 g of the mixture is required to prepare a hookah for a company;
• ideal for smoking strong and juicy tobaccos.

The production of such bowls is carried out exclusively by hand, which affects the excellent smoking properties. In our catalog of Turkish hookah bowls you can choose from the following models:

• Upper Turkish. This bowl embodies the best oriental traditions, which is expressed primarily in an unusual design. Modern and neat design provides excellent smoking properties. Suitable for use with different types of tobacco, while its consumption is 18-22 g. Thanks to the wide holes, good traction is provided.
• Vintage Turkish Form. This bowl combines an extremely simple design with a classic shape. The model is universal for driving any tobacco mixtures - from light to the strongest. The classical form in the form of a Turk refers to the traditions of the East. The advantages of the model are in the optimal depth and wall thickness, thanks to which any tobaccos are perfectly smoked.
• Grynbowl. In the line of this brand, two Turks are presented at once, which act as a high-quality analogue of the Turkish bowl. Production is carried out from white or red clay. Models are compatible with kalaud. It is worth noting a new model from the guys from Ukraine - Turku in milk roasting, which reduces the possibility of leakage of the walls of the bowl to a minimum.

In our online store, prices for Turkish hookah bowls are quite affordable - the simplest models can be bought at a price of 350 rubles. The amount of filling depends on how many users will participate in hookah smoking.
