  1. FINALLY GOT MY MNH PHUNNEL BOWL!

    Read more  
  2. I bought my hookah from ebay a few months ago and I love it. I bought it from the user "luxuryhookah" http://myworld.ebay.com/luxuryhookah/ Here is a pic: http://imgur.com/ABZ8b.jpg It is awesome. Just saying, even though it ended up like $100 with shipping included I am very happy with it, and have not had a problem.
  3. I do not think that could possibly taste good, but to each his own.
  4. I ordered this on MNH but as many of you know they are having problems and I would prefer to get it quickly, so if anybody has one that they would like to sell, let me know. Preferably a yellow one but I will take any color. I will consider getting separate parts of the above individually, but I would prefer getting them all together from one person. Thanks.
  5. I was thinking of getting one of these but I'm not sure. Is the difference in smoothness of the smoke actually noticeable?
  6. [quote name='Cheng' date='11 January 2010 - 10:41 PM' timestamp='1263267680' post='444649'] I once smoked an Apple Bazooka which is basically an Apple made into a bowl, and the smoke was so damn thin, I told these guys many times that my shisha was crap, all they did was try and plug the hose in more and whack another lump of QL on top which did nothin lol. This was in North London and they were Turks, I was a noob then. Arabs @ Edgeware road are very good, but they are usually rude if your not Arab or you dont speak Arabic, one time I was lucky enough to have a friend who spoke Arabic - He told the guy something in Arabic and then said "Yallah" (means quickly?) and the waiter was happy as a mo fuker to sort out our coals. Oh another tip, bring attractive girls with lot cut tops, you will get the fastest service in the WORLD, they will be standing there only to serve your table! Arab waiters are big pervs [/quote] "Yallah" means "let's go" literally, but can be used as quickly figuratively. There's a hookah bar near me which is pretty good, although I haven't been there since I got my own hookah and I didn't know anything then, so I'm not sure what I would say if I went now. It is also pretty expensive. But their food is great. And they are Arab so they do know something about hookah. I still prefer smoking out of my own hookah, though.
  7. I cannot wait. Futurama is by far better than Family Guy and other comedy central cartoon shows. The only thing that sucks is that we have to wait until June.
  8. Its threads like these that make me sometimes wish I didn't have a mac.... Oh well I still like it.
  9. I am inexplicably attracted to the idea of tabasco in hookah. Let us know if you find anything good with it. What might work is making an apple hookah bowl and putting hot sauce on it before smoking out of it. I found a guide on making them, which I will paste here. I found it on reddit.com posted by Bossman1086: [font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]"So I've been making heads for smoking out of apples for a while now. titaniumten (the other mod for this reddit) taught me. Last time I made one, I took a few pictures and figured it would be a good thing to show all of you. They're not that hard to make. Other fruits work, too, but just be careful of how soft the inside of said fruit is. Apples obviously work better with apple flavors. Personally, I like Eskandarani. [b]Apple Head[/b] Materials Needed: [list][*]Sharp Knife[*]Sturdy Table/teaspoon[*]Apple[*]Your hookah[/list]Start with a whole apple. I use granny smith or something similar. The first step is to take the grommet for the bowl off your hookah and press the apple down on it (the bottom where the core is) until the top of the pipe is inside the apple. This gives you an airtight seal around the bottom of your soon to be apple head. Next, take a sharp knife and cut around the outside of the apple (about 3/4 of the way up from the bottom). The trick here is that you want the rim of the head to be even for the coals and all. So what I do is set it on the counter or a table and go around the outside of the apple with the knife so that the bottom portion will be even. Then, when I have the guideline for where I'm going to cut, I turn it on its side and cut through where I made the mark with my knife. When you're done, you should have 3/4 of an apple that looks like [url="http://imgur.com/Z25AA.jpg"][url="http://i.imgur.com/Z25AA.jpg"]this[/url][/url]. Now with your knife, trace a circle around the inside of the apple (leaving about 1/4 of an inch or so from the sides of the apple). This will be the side of the "bowl". Everything inside this circle should be scooped out. Use your spoon and start scooping out chunks of apple until you're near the bottom. You can really make it as deep or shallow as you want - depending on how much shisha you want to smoke. Once your at the bottom, push your finger through the bottom of the apple where you pressed it down on your hookah. It should pop out through the top, but if it doesn't, just use your knife to loosen it up a little. When you're done with this step, the apple head should look something like [url="http://imgur.com/N5OPp.jpg"][url="http://imgur.com/N5OPp.jpg"]this[/url][/url] and [url="http://imgur.com/jaoX6.jpg"][url="http://imgur.com/jaoX6.jpg"]this[/url][/url]. From there on out, it's pretty easy. Pack the head with your favorite shisha. The only difference between an apple head and a regular head is you want to block the hole with a bigger chunk of shisha so you don't suck all the shisha down through your hookah's pipe. After that, pack like normal. Here's what mine [url="http://imgur.com/QyWNZ.jpg"][url="http://imgur.com/QyWNZ.jpg"]looked[/url][/url] like filled with [url="http://imgur.com/PEpex.jpg"][url="http://imgur.com/PEpex.jpg"]shisha[/url][/url]. The foil is a little more difficult to put on than a regular head, but nothing out of the ordinary needs to be done there. Wrap the foil around the head and make sure it's air tight and not covering the hole in the bottom.

  10. What's up guys? I'm new here, also kind of a hookah noob but trying to get better. This is my hookah: http://i.imgur.com/ABZ8b.jpg I got it on ebay from Beirut Lebanon and it is pretty sweet. Its 3 feet tall and actually has 3 hoses but one of them ripped so I use two at the moment, which is fine. I have only tried Al-Fakher shisha so far because it is all I can get in DC, and still use crappy self-lighting coals because I don't have anything to light real coals and I'm lazy. Also I'm poor. But I just got paid so I just ordered a glass phunnel bowl from MNH 10 days ago and was really excited until I found out that they pretty much stopped their business and don't answer emails or phone calls, so now I'm really bummed. I guess I'll see if I can buy one from people on here but I need 5 posts first. My favorite flavor so far that I've had was Al-Fakher double apple with a bowl made from an apple that my friend made.
  11. DAMN!! I wish I came to this website earlier! I just ordered a mini glass phunnel bowl with the scali mod and glass screen 10 days ago and emailed them 3 times with no response. Do you guys think I'll ever get it? Frankly I wouldn't mind waiting a little while as long as I get it, but if I'm just never going to get it I'll file a dispute with my credit card. This really sucks, I want one of their bowls so badly. Are there any good alternatives or anything?
