I've really enjoyed using this bowl. It makes the whole process smoother! The scraper doesn't allow it to gunk up so fast, so I don't have to clean the bowl as frequently as a normal bowl.
Also, since all the air and flame intake goes through a small hole, you can prevent the smoke from drifting back out from the lit bowl by covering the hole with your thumb.
So in very cold weather where you can't leave strong smells inside:
Stand by the door,
Light and inhale,
Cover the intake hole with your thumb,
Blow your smoke out the door or window. 😊
I bought a 2nd one to keep in rotation while the dirty one is soaking in alcohol, when cleaning is eventually needed. 😊 😊
