Apocalypse glass silicone phunnel bowl
The Apocalypse glass silicone phunnel bowl is a hybrid accessory that combines a thick glass bowl with a silicone base to offer a practical, stable and high‑performing shisha experience. It is designed for Kaloud Lotus‑type heat management devices, with an integrated groove that keeps the HMD perfectly in place throughout the session.
Large capacity and phunnel design
This model stands out for its large tobacco capacity, ideal for long sessions with friends or for intensive use. The phunnel design, with a raised central hole, limits molasses leakage into the stem, preserves flavour and helps produce dense, consistent clouds.
Thick glass and premium silicone
The thick glass bowl ensures excellent flavour neutrality, with no off‑tastes or lingering aromas from one session to the next. The premium silicone base offers a comfortable grip even when the bowl is hot, while providing perfect grip on your shisha’s bowl port.
Kaloud compatibility and extra stability
An integrated groove on the top of the bowl allows you to lock a Kaloud Lotus‑type heat management system firmly in place for optimal stability. This design makes coal management easier, improves heat distribution and reduces the risk of the HMD tipping over during the session.
Grommet‑free setup and easy cleaning
Thanks to the integrated silicone base, this bowl can be fitted directly onto most stems without the need for an additional grommet, simplifying setup while ensuring an airtight seal. The materials used make cleaning quick and easy: the non‑porous glass rinses off effortlessly and the silicone can be washed in warm water with a bit of mild soap if needed.
Dimensions and session comfort
With a height of around 10 cm, an inner diameter of about 7.1 cm and an outer diameter of about 8.5 cm, this bowl offers generous volume for shisha tobacco, gels or creams. Its depth of around 2.5 cm lets you pack plenty of mix while maintaining good airflow for a smooth draw.
Expert tip for optimal draw
To get the best performance from this bowl, distribute the tobacco loosely without packing it, just below the rim of the phunnel. Pair it with a well‑preheated Kaloud and adjust the number of coals according to the cloud density you want, in order to preserve flavour throughout the session.

Faqs
The bowl is chosen according to the heating method used. With an aluminium foil setup, most standard bowls will do: flat bowls, Turkish bowls, phunnel or vortex. With a Provost system, a high-rimmed bowl — phunnel type, or flat with a rim — keeps the setup stable and spreads the heat evenly.
The Kaloud Lotus system requires a compatible bowl, such as the Kaloud Samsaris bowls or a bowl whose rim matches its diameter. Chimney-style systems (Brohood, Dragon, Badcha and others) are used with a Turkish clay bowl or a glass bowl such as the Dschinni Nero Glass, whose material withstands the temperature of the coals.
The Quasar Raas system is used with the Quasar bowls designed for its dimensions, in ceramic or glass depending on the model.
The material also affects how the bowl is used: clay is porous and seasons over time, glass is non-porous and easy to clean, silicone is light and unbreakable. Ceramic, glass, silicone and clay bowls are all in the shisha bowls category.
Regular maintenance is crucial for keeping your shisha bowl in top shape and ensuring incredible smoke every time. Once your session ends, allow your bowl to cool down before touching it—this prevents thermal shock. Once cool, empty any leftover molasses, then gently clean the bowl with a non-scratch sponge and liquid soap. This method clears molasses residue, tobacco buildup, and lingering odors, no matter if the bowl is made of clay, ceramic, glass, or silicone. For a deeper clean, soak the bowl in warm water with specific cleaner like El-Badia Shisha Cleaner powder or a dash of white vinegar for tough spots. Rinse thoroughly and dry well before the next use.
Avoid rinsing a hot bowl with cold water to prevent cracks. A specialized bowl brush is handy for hard-to-reach spots, and you can find all El-Badia cleaning products for targeted care.
Pro tip: every material needs a little extra attention—never use steel wool on silicone, and use only a soft sponge for glass bowls. Proper care preserves your flavors and guarantees every shisha/hookah session is smooth and hygienic!
