    Been using alpaca mini rook for 6 years already Haven’t felt the need to use any other bowl. Like Sarkis said u can smoke almost any tobacco with this bowl and it won’t disappoint you.
    Great video Sarkis

    If you asked me about mini rook or ARKA bowl I will go with Arka Bowl guys this guy made a bowl which works I tried both bowls but I always love the Arka bowl if you want a good experience you should go with Arka. The flavour in an Arka bowl enhances the flavour today I order 4 Arka and I will never use other Alpaca bowls are not good if I compare them with an Arka bowl I always go with an Arka bowl this is a product I am looking for . It's my personal experience if you want to give try you can experience it by your self thank you for making the ARKA bowl

      @@johnward2131 it wouldn’t get a rating higher than 4/10. Slip cast, hollow inside, thin, deformed from batch to batch, far too wide and shallow for optimal performance. Beautiful glazes!
      One can’t even see the distinct features of the bowl such as the compartmentalized divisions or the lip. I love Mason for a couple of other bowls but the Onyx isn’t even worth reviewing

    Would you suggest the Alpaca mini rook for Tangiers? I currently use HJ 80 feet but I always wanted to get a Mini Rook.

    • @SarkisAlexander
      @SarkisAlexander  3 роки тому +1

      Yes, I would - I even gave tangiers as an example of what works great in a Mini Rook (as do many other brands, that’s what’s so special about this bowl). In comparison to the 80ft bowl, you’ll use less tobacco with the Mini Rook and get cleaner tasting sessions especially in the second half where the composition of the bowl truly matters. Otherwise, the two should be comparable, the main difference is slightly improved Flowrate and the use of less tobacco for similar results

    First of all gongrats for your amazing videos!
    you explain it very detailed so we thank you that you share your knowlwdge with us!
    I have a question for you...
    What is the main difference in all the categories that you analyze (air flow, cloud effect, session time etc..), between two similar phunnel bowls with the ONLY exception to be the diameter of the inner hole... ????
    For example alpaca goodfella (bigger hole) versus alpaca Huacaya (smaller hole)...????
    can you tell me please???
    thanks a lot !!!!!

    • @SarkisAlexander
      @SarkisAlexander  2 роки тому +1

      They do that in hopes for better Flowrate but that isn’t always the case. But in practicality, if the bowls are similar width and depths but the spire is wider - means there’s less space to pack shisha meaning the Goodfella takes less tobacco than the Huacaya for example

    Would the full size fumari rook give a longer lasting session? Or is the mini like the holy grail; giving similar length of session but using less tobacco?

    • @SarkisAlexander
      @SarkisAlexander  2 роки тому +1

      Well hookah is not a gas tank that u can just make bigger put more “fuel” in it and expect to go for longer. There are many variables at play, namely how the shisha is cooking. Larger bowls will use 2-3-4x more tobacco and barely get you an extra 15 min of flavor *and* clouds

    • @SarkisAlexander
      @SarkisAlexander  2 роки тому +1

      Well, as both are shown in this video, the Shallow Rook (which is the current largest Rook produced by Alpaca) is around 2.5-3x larger than the Mini Rook. So everything I said about the Mini Rook doesn’t apply to the Shallow Rook.

    • @SarkisAlexander
      @SarkisAlexander  3 роки тому +1

      Good question! Most likely not, if I’m being honest. I do this to uplift, inform, and elevate hookah smokers from all over the world. Making a video for a boutique brand that limits production to just a couple dozen or so bowls a month is kind of the opposite of the goal of being proactively helpful to the millions of hookah lovers out there. My thinking is how helpful would it be for everyone to guide them to a bowl they have to struggle to own? Maybe I’m incorrect in my thinking! Let me know by commenting below 🙌🏼

    Kaloud also didn't copy the rooked spire, but you can bet your buns that if they were the first ones to come out with that feature, they'd sue everyone else who did it later on.

    • @SarkisAlexander
      @SarkisAlexander  3 роки тому

      That would be true if Kaloud had created the grooved spire, but in this case it was the Rook which was the first bowl to use such a design. The only bowl Kaloud has made is the Samsaris series of bowls though…none of which utilize a grooved spire

      @@rockandrolldude22 obvious myth. Bc it doesn’t matter what style bowl it is but whether or not it’s glazed or unglazed. Unglazed clay absorbs the flavor from the molasses so if you use only one flavor, the flavor is accentuated. But it’s also by no means a requirement. Where are you getting your info from?

      Good morning! Thank you so much for considering www.hookahunltd.com it really means a lot to me 🙏🏼
      However, the simple fact is that AmEx makes it far too easy for the end user to make fraudulent claims against the merchant - I’ve seen it happen dozens of times since I launched my first business venture at 17 - regardless of substantial evidence provided by the business. Therefore, it’s just too big of a risk to accept AmEx. But try it out with other vendors with your AmEx card! Then claim u didn’t make the purchase and voilà free stuffs for you 💫
