I have seen the others mentioned for prices in that range for the same amount of shisha. I mean, yeah some others are $17 or $18 but are also only 200g. Just saying I like the stuff and have no problem paying another dollar or two for it. [/quote] Its not about the quantity.. If i wanted quantity I'd just spent 8-10 a pack and stock up on endless Nakhla.. the fact is that alot of brands smoke better than Starbuzz. Its one of those hype brands that pulls you in promising you the more fine cut tobacco with big clouds and fancy flavors when you first hop on the hookah wagon.... fact is there's better out there and I'd much rather pay for less of Fantasia at 200g or the exact same amount with Social Smoke at 250g and obtain a heck of a boost in flavor, cloud size, as well as overall customer satisfaction. There nothing wrong with you liking it, nor was I saying that you have a problem for buying it lol.. You asked why it has a bad rep, so I gave my opinion on why I don't like it. If you don't like opinions then don't ask silly questions. On a lighter note as you only have 4 posts, welcome to the forum and I apologize for being a hardass, been a long night lol [/quote] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Absolutely. I asked your opinion and wanted it. I was just expressing my reasoning for liking it. Thought that's how the whole forum thing worked.

[quote][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Still a newb myself, but I just learned not to trust the Mya Econo line. I have a standard Mya QT that has been pretty good though.[/font][/color][/quote] Yeah I currently have a Mya Bambino and I think it is a great little hookah. I have since upgraded the hose and I guess I will be putting in an order for some Tangiers and a Phunnel bowl!

Is there a reason SB gets a bum wrap around these parts?

Hey All, I'm Patrick and I just signed up for a HF account. Seems like a real cool, supportive group of people here, all eager to share knowledge about a topic that has brought us all together. I would love to get to know all of you, and maybe one day be looked upon as a top tier hookah aficionado. [i]Add me as a friend - let's spread the love.[/i] I have smoked hookah probably close to 7 years now - but I have never really immersed myself in it. I knew nothing of the culture, all of the exotic equipment & shishas, or techniques to make my experience better. Yeah, I knew to put ice cubes in the vase and mix flavors - I'm talking about the stuff that only comes from veteran experience. With that being said, consider me a beginner who [i]has[/i] smoked hookah before but hasn't appreciated the finer things - someone who wants to hone in on the very essence of everything that is hookah. Throw away the tips you can read on any google search - give me something profound. So tell me hookah mavens - [u]What [b]one[/b] thing do you wish you knew about hookah when you were starting out?[/u]
