The hookah bowl is the heart of your hookah. Everything that happens in this part of your water pipe ultimately determines the flavor when smoking. It’s crucial to pay special attention to the bowl and your HMD (Heat Management Device) – because if you want the best results, you can’t just buy any hookah bowl! At our shop, you’ll find a huge selection, and once you’ve made your choice, you can easily buy your favorite hookah bowl! No idea what to look for when buying a new bowl? No worries, we’ve gathered and summarized all the essential information for you!
Hookah Phunnel or Multi-Hole Bowl, glazed or unglazed – what do these terms mean in relation to a hookah bowl? If you’re not yet familiar with the world of hookahs, finding the perfect bowl isn’t easy.
Or maybe you already have a hookah bowl and use it regularly? Why not try a new bowl and discover how it can change your smoking experience? With the right bowl, you can unlock entirely new flavors from your favorite hookah tobacco.
The hookah bowl (often referred to as a hookah head or simply bowl) is essential for smoking – tobacco is placed in the bowl and heated with charcoal to produce smoke. Without a bowl, smoking wouldn’t work at all.
It’s also incredibly important because it has a significant influence on the flavor of the tobacco. Depending on the material and shape, hookah bowls heat up differently, affecting how intense the tobacco tastes and which notes stand out most.
This means: When buying a hookah bowl, always focus on quality! A water pipe is only as good as its bowl – a low-quality bowl can ruin the entire smoking experience, no matter how premium your hookah is.
There are different types of hookah bowls to choose from. They primarily differ in two key factors: shape (e.g., multi-hole or phunnel bowl) and material.
There are two particularly popular and widely used types of hookah bowls: Phunnel and Multi-Hole Bowls. They differ significantly in one key factor.
The Phunnel Bowl, often simply called a hookah phunnel, has only one large central hole. It is typically used with a hookah heat management device (HMD) or foil.
The multi-hole bowl, as the name suggests, has multiple holes in the tobacco chamber, allowing for efficient air circulation.
Which bowl shape is better largely comes down to personal preference. It depends on the type of tobacco you smoke, whether you prefer strong or mild tobacco, and whether you’re a beginner or an experienced smoker.
A hookah bowl can be made from various materials, including clay, stoneware, ceramic, silicone, or glass. These materials are heat-resistant and help transfer heat to the hookah tobacco to produce smoke. At Moze, you'll find high-quality hookah bowls made from the most common and practical materials: stone, clay, and porcelain.
Different materials have unique advantages and suit different smoking preferences. While a clay bowl is great for intense flavor, a stone bowl offers durability and longevity for longer smoking sessions. The choice depends on personal preference and the desired smoking experience.
By far the most popular option is clay, although there are also differences within this category.
One key difference in clay bowls is the temperature at which they are fired. The higher the temperature, the denser the final material becomes. This generally has a positive effect on the bowl's heat properties:
Additionally, there’s another important difference in hookah bowl production: some bowls are glazed during a second firing process, while others remain unglazed after the first firing.
Most hookah bowls are coated with a glaze that covers at least the tobacco chamber. This is the part of the bowl where the tobacco is placed during smoking. Many bowls are also glazed on the exterior, but this is mainly for aesthetic purposes.
But what’s the purpose of glazing the tobacco chamber? Simply put: Because hookah tobacco contains molasses and the heat causes pores in the clay to open, molasses can quickly penetrate the clay in an unglazed bowl. This can lead to what's known as “bleeding,” where molasses seeps out of the bowl during a smoking session.
Generally, bowls hold 10g to 25g of hookah tobacco. This is an important factor to consider when buying a hookah bowl. For some people, a bowl with a large capacity simply isn't practical and would be a waste of both money and tobacco.
How long you can smoke with a hookah bowl depends on the amount of tobacco in the bowl. Other factors include how many people are sharing the hookah and how frequently you draw from the hose. Typically, a hookah bowl can last between 60 and 120 minutes.

Whether a multi-hole or Phunnel bowl is better depends on your desired smoking experience. A Phunnel bowl is ideal for moist tobacco as it prevents dripping. It offers a longer smoking duration and more intense flavor. A multi-hole bowl is best for dark blend tobacco and allows better airflow, resulting in denser smoke production.
A Phunnel is a specialized hookah bowl with a central hole and a raised rim around the hole. This design prevents molasses from dripping into the bowl. It ensures intense flavor and a longer smoking session. The hookah Phunnel is suitable for both beginners and experienced smokers.
The smoking duration of a hookah bowl can vary greatly depending on several factors, such as the type of bowl, the type of tobacco, heat management, and personal smoking habits. Generally, a hookah bowl can last between 60 and 120 minutes or even longer.
The amount of tobacco in a hookah bowl varies depending on the bowl size, type of tobacco, and personal preference. As a general guideline, an average bowl requires about 10g to 25g of tobacco. It’s important not to pack the tobacco too tightly to ensure optimal airflow.
