About Shisharant

my story

Hi, if you don't know me: I'm Vincenzo, also known as the "Shisharant" and founder of the #phunnelgang 🙌🏽 Today is finally the day, I'll tell you my personal story of how it came about. 

The right way?

The training in the commercial area was over. But what now? I asked myself whether I really wanted to sit on an office chair for 40 years and wait for the eight hours to pass. this is not my life That was for sure! I thought about what I enjoyed and enjoyed, and that was smoking shisha 💨

What does "shisharant" mean?

My primary idea, which came about in November 2019 but was only implemented in February 2020 after completing my training, was to open a shisha delivery service in the Mannheim/Heidelberg area. The heads were filled with tobacco and taken to the customer. Instead of pizza there was shisha 😄👍🏽

(By the way: shisha + supplier = shisharant)

Hookah with Phunnel head?

It always put a smile on my face when customers told me how good my shisha tasted. The small hookahs that I delivered had a very special feature. That was the head. The so-called phunnel head has many advantages over the standard multi-hole heads found in shisha bars. One of them is, for example, that the molasses is better heated and it therefore tastes better. Through this service, I made it possible for shisha smokers who didn't have shisha at home to enjoy a great shisha during the Corona Pandemic 😍 Every single bowl was prepared with a lot of love, as if they were prepared for me. My videos of the head construction were often referred to as "work of art", but more on that later 👇🏽

From delivery service to blog

In addition to the delivery service, a creative blog filled with love and fun was created. In this blog I shared my experiences every day right from the start and have given the shisha smokers a lot of added value to this day. My primary goal of the blog back then was to take people with me into my everyday life and to become better known in the area in order to provide as many customers as possible with good minds. But times are changing and I just focused on the blog as I'd much rather show people how to prepare a good head with videos rather than delivering them. You can get a picture of how I prepare the phunnels on my Instagram page. Exactly these videos made people from all over the world 🌎 aware of the shisharant. That was the start of something big. The… 👇🏽

Phunnelgang 🙌🏽

Through my belief in the Phunnels, I managed to animate many people to buy a Phunnel head. A great community was created that is constantly growing 😍 This counts, as of the end of July there were over 6,000 followers on Instagram and over 15,000 followers on TikTok, as well as over 200 on YouTube. My reach increased with every video. It didn't take long before many people from the shisha scene became aware of the shisharant. 

How the product came about

While recording one of my countless head building videos, one thing in particular bothered me. When I inserted the tobacco into the bowl, the tobacco kept falling into the phunnel hole for me. This dirty the table/the counter. I initially crumpled Zewas and thus plugged the hole. (You can still see these videos with the Zewa on my profile today). But this solution did not satisfy me. I wanted to create something that is handy and looks good. Something you only have to buy once and doesn't end up in the trash immediately afterwards.

Phunnel plug

This realization made me act immediately. I researched whether something like this already existed. In fact, someone had the idea before me, but you couldn't buy stoppers on the market. I took the opportunity and had a large batch produced. The original shisharant stopper was born 🤩 Some people associate this stopper with another object, but that is undecided 😂 Full of euphoria, I set up my online shop on my own. On a warm early summer day, the time had finally come. I got a message on WhatsApp. The courier had delivered a package. Inside were the shisharant plugs 😍💜 These instagrammable plugs in the three colors black, white and purple could be purchased from this point on. They make your HQ a Phunnelgang HQ ©️

vision

My goal is for all hookah smokers to benefit from the benefits of the Phunnel bowls and experience them for themselves, be it in the hookah bars or at home. I would only be tempted to visit a shisha bar if phunnels were used. The shisharant stopper is of course a good and nice tool when building the head. Whether for shisha bars or for a cozy head at home 🏠 🙏🏽 The plugs have already been used in one or the other video by shisha youtubers, as well as in a well-known shisha bar abroad 🙌🏽
