Hey, CodeName. Your avatar is wicked!

I gave it an hour and 4 minutes. I took two sizable breaks. After the first 8 minutes I was all "WHOOOOOooooaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!" After the second break I was all -eggnogada- ps. now I know just HOW noob I was/am!

44 minutes into it I had to put the hose down again. SHEEEESH!! besides the fact that my baby is crying, this buzz is ridonkulous! AND, these CH QL's smoked my whole porch up. THEN I burnt my pinky finger when I picked up the tray I lit them on. Hahahaha. I wish I had my camera. I'm a mess right now. Burnt, buzzed, sweaty, coughing, freezing cold on my porch. ...a good night.

dark side, no doubt! I ate some italian earlier. It's like I'm drowning in Peace Tea! I coughed so much that now I can taste the manicotti from 5 hours ago. hahahahaha. it appears that I've had an "awakening" with my hookah. This Narbish hose... the funnel... the shisha... My Mind Is Blown !!

packed as described in the vids I Watched... peach iced tea... 3 CH QL's... pfffpbhh I had to put the hose down after 8 minutes!! hahahahahaha scary good! more as the story develops 0eggnog0

QUOTE (GeorgieHC @ Nov 19 2009, 06:23 PM) For sure that hookah... at least the one in the pictures is 100% Egyptian hookah, probably Sarhan, based on the heart and down tube, it probably has lotus designs on the resting plate for the tray.. it could have 2 markings in Arabic that probably say the manufacture.. Sarhan, Hawenki, Al Ashary, ect. The glass is a 26" you must measure the inside diameter of the opening as the lips can vary in side depending on the moulds. But yes a 26 base will fit fit most Egyptians from 24 to 30 inches in height. Hope that helps. The Genie base is a nice design... epic. Thanks. I tell you what... I just realized... I can't fit my LARGE TANGIERS FUNNEL BOWL on the top of this mother. Does that help identify it? Shit! With a new shipment in (and all my shisha smells JUST LIKE CANDY VERSIONS of whatever they're named - so I'm not even gonna acclimate - FIRE UP!) it sucks to find that this wicked awesome bowl doesn't fit. I'll take a picture of it later. For now I'm gonna electric tape it, then wrap saran wrap around that for good measure and smoke me some Peach here in about 2 hours. wish me luck (or laugh at me). -eggnog-

Holy Burrito! Those holes were MASSIVE!! I ordered some CH QL's and I was thinking this procedure should be no problem as long as the coals don't get weird on me. Also... that smoke was ridiculous!!! Awesome! Can't wait to try this shiz!! -eggnog-

good to know! Thanks, gang. Currently waiting for the bowl packing vid to load. -egg-

well, i HAVE been meaning to ask what "acclimate" means in respect to tobacco. Let the temperature of the stuff reach room temp? Like a goldfish that you're moving to a new tank? help! I shall read the guide when my package arrives and then... showtime! also, it WAS Double Apple AF Shisha. One was double apple and one was er... I Think a blueberry flavor but on the can it had a picture of a blackberry. Hilarious but also PURE licorice. -eggnog-

QUOTE (NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD @ Nov 26 2009, 10:14 AM) hookah hookah-non alcoholic beer tangiers- jagermeister pfff HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Wow. Ok then. I am HOPING that my stuff comes by Saturday so I can experience this life-changing event before I have to go back to work. Yea, people laughed at my post about "my best session ever" wherein I smoked hookahhookah and blew a lot of smoke rings. I suppose soon I'll be laughing at HookahHookah too. I had some AF shisha start to smell/taste different after having it stored for a month so I changed to this cheap hookahhookah stuff. I guess I can chalk it up as a learning experience! Jager... hahahahaha hilarious.

So... I've been smoking my moderate stash of HookahHookah. Should I be expecting a big difference in taste and buzz when I snarf a funnel full of tangiers peach iced tea? In my research I have consistently found that the shisha will be WET WET WET and apparently if I stick a twig into the funnel a significant buzz should be had. I just wonder if this is gonna be a subtle thing or like a "WOW!!" experience? =eggnog=

QUOTE (demonix @ Nov 19 2009, 06:40 AM) he forgot to mention he got flavor for 5 minutes and really thin smoke with any amount of heat applied to it lol Well... flavor, yea. That was a little weak. But after like 10 minutes I realized I had a streak goin and my care for flavor (these two cans of tobacco are all I have at the moment, so I'm gonna smoke 'em) went out the window probably just as the flavor did. Anywho... -eggnog-

and then this story to wrap it up: After my bomb-ass hookah life-changer last night while watching a kung fu movie, I had a series of AWESOME dreams. The most memorable one involved myself being involved, 3rd person, in a post apocalyptic earth kinda thing. I seemed to be looking for someone. This garage I was in looked like something out of FallOut3. I found the guy and realized I had two choices, a "good" choice and a "bad" choice. Thing is, I couldn't figure out what the "good" choice was. I had to get this bum out of an old rusty car and the only thing I could figure out was to shoot at him. So I did. He got out of the car, tried to run and I shot him some more. Later, after my dream had shifted to another setting and plot I realized that I had residual smoke in my lungs. It was embarrassing. I was eat dinner with some executives or girls or something like that and every time I exhaled I would get, just visible, a little stream of smoke coming from my nostrils. I Started to freak out but then I realized it made me look like a dragon and that everyone thought it was cool. soooo weird! -eggnogada-

QUOTE (lasagna @ Nov 18 2009, 10:15 PM) Lol, my mouth gets...well not sore but I just can't feel it very well when I blow smoke rings for long amounts of time. I find myself looking even stupider than before and lacking the smoke rings to balance the stupidity with awesomeness, thus I look ridiculous. hahahaha. word!

oh. the tray is important when identifying it? Dang, should taken a pic of that too.

ugh. and I broke up 3K QL coals for the session too. I used about 1.5 coals at a time. This is the first time I did this with the coals. I think this and the fact that I poked holes through the baccy and bowl holes BEFORE I put the foil on are the reasons I got such a great session out of this "bad" shisha. I am blown away. Hopefully I won't have massive sores all over my tongue tomorrow. I've never smoked so much in my life. Awesome!! -Egg- ps. Kung Fu Hustle is hilarious and well worth the watch.

I've been smokin' hookah hookah shisha, strawberry/apple mixed out of my egyptian pipe with my crappy hose for like 2 HOURS!! I was sitting here watching "Kung Fu Hustle" and I decided to count how many rings I could blow in a row... I got 10 out of 10 tries... TEN TIMES IN A ROW!!! HAHAHAHA AWESOME!!! thought I'd share!! (now my jaw hurts. haha) -eggnogadam-

hilarious. some other folks were pretty adamant that I destroy all trace of these clay bowls. I'll deff keep them but I'd like to try a funnel with some other new additions and see if I can roll a HUGE smoke cloud. I love practicing rings! -eggnogadam-

thanks. Seems like maybe... Maybe I should put up with a single hose unit. It's mostly just gonna be me, anyway. One day I'll buy a 3 holer (out-house joke) and save it for takin' to parties. Man. I love this forum. Can't wait till I'm not a nuber any more and can contribute something. Basically it looks like I'm gonna cop a new single-hose stem, phunnel bowls, windcover, shisha, coals, and hose for Christmas here REALLY soon. ...mwuhahahahahaha AWESOME!

QUOTE (inino @ Nov 16 2009, 06:42 PM) Country of origin: Egypt You can pretty much put any stem on a 2" base opening. You might need a bigger or smaller grommet depening on what you get. Thats a nice pipe though, I would just use it. Probably better than most of the multihosers. Oh and most likely you will have to buy a whole hookah, it might be kinda hard to find a two hose stem by itself. Possibly check in the trade section here. The first thing I would replace is that bowl. oh sheesh!! I totally missed your post this whole time. The bowl? Yea. Sucks because I bought this one and another just like it when my last one broke after being frozen and heated too many times. (Moron Alert.) I am gonna rock a phunnel, windscreen, CH QL's, blue Narbish and hopefully a new grommet for this stem and I guess I'll be set... Maybe I'll buy a new stem. Maybe not. I'm still just excited that I get to buy some new stuff!! -EggNogAdam-

QUOTE (3lemental @ Nov 16 2009, 07:39 PM) You could also look at getting an adapter to turn the purge valve into a second hose port. Assuming it's syrian, as people are saying, this should fit http://www.hookah-shisha.com/p-2058-syrian...se-adapter.html. Plus, at $8 it's a lot cheaper than a new stem AND you can keep your friend happy - everyone wins! awesome idea. Er... how do you purge if there is no valve? And, if I attach another hose, what keep me from pushing the smoke into the other person's hose? (besides common sense of not blowing in it when the other dude is smoking)

QUOTE (SloppyJoe @ Nov 16 2009, 06:41 PM) ...When the time is right for you to acquire some new stuff, we can definitely help you. From choosing who to order from or where to get it from what to get, what is the best and what you can do with that kind of budget. as it happens the time is NOW! Wheee!! I'm posting in other threads about how to mod my current rig for more hoses. I've been told my setup is Egyptian so now I needs me some Egyptian Stems to choose from! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! -ENA-

Thanks. I'm gonna roll with a blue Narbish! I guess I should make that 2 blue narbitches because I'll be on the scout for a 2-hose rig! Kick-ass suggestions! Keep 'em comin'!

Pffff Hahahahahahahaha. Well... Okay then. hahahaha. I've seen vids with people using "power hose" stuff. I dunno. What should I look for in a hose?

Hey hey, and thanks for the 'welcome.' I have made an executive decision to SMOKE the HookahHookah liberally and at the same time not expect too much from it. This as opposed to throwing it out. I have managed to finagle myself a Christmas budget of ~$150 and will be acquiring some expensive smoke in a few weeks I hope. -EggNogadam
