The Oblako Flow is a stoneware phunnel for customers who want the airflow restricted slightly to push flavour intensity. It's the bowl our Melbourne team suggests when someone says their dark leaf is tasting flat or their HMD is running too cool — the Flow's inverted cone fixes both problems at once.

Oblako Flow — handmade stoneware phunnel with restricted airflow for concentrated draws

Why our team recommends the Flow

• Inverted cone airflow — slight restriction concentrates the smoke for a more intense flavour delivery.
• Heavy stoneware clay — outstanding heat retention and even distribution across the pack.
• Top-glazed finish — keeps flavour absorption to a minimum without losing the heat properties of bare clay.
• Foil, Provost or Kaloud Lotus — works with whichever heat method you prefer.
• 16–19 g capacity — versatile across solo and small group sessions.
• Handmade in Russia — every Flow is its own piece, with the small variations that come from real handcraft.

How to use it

• Pack 16–19 g of shisha — fluff or semi-dense both work depending on your blend.
• Seat on your stem with a standard grommet or silicone adapter.
• Cover with foil, or drop on a Provost or Kaloud Lotus.
• Place fully-lit coals — the Flow likes a touch less heat than wide-airflow bowls because the restriction concentrates everything.
• Rotate coals as you go to keep the session even.

Care & cleaning

• Cool completely before cleaning — stoneware holds heat longer than standard clay.
• Soak in warm water to loosen residue, then scrub gently.
• No abrasives on the glazed surface.
• Dry fully before storing.
• Handmade bowls develop a natural patina with use — that's the bowl earning character, not damage.

Common questions

Why would I want restricted airflow?

Restriction concentrates the flavour — it's particularly nice for stronger dark leaf or shisha that's been a bit lifeless in your usual bowl. Our team can talk you through whether it suits your blends.

How does it compare to the standard Oblako Phunnel?

The Flow trades some of the airflow openness for flavour intensity. If you want maximum cloud, stick with the standard phunnel. If you want maximum taste, the Flow.
