Ahh yea SORRY I thought the guy was ignoring my emails but apparently his country's prime minister was assassinated and there was a week long work strike.  My mistake!  He has agreed to reimburse me for the broken stem.  I have no grievance about him or his company any longer.

DO NOT ORDER FROM wholesaleorient (ebayer) or "Phonecian Arts" which is his company. (i.e., hookahook) That guy sold me a total piece of trash.

sticky icky huh...maybe you should try and report back.  wieghing out your respective dosages would be good so we can get an idea of synergistic effects.  But I'd be more interested to hear if anyone has tried opium in their hookah though.

Yea I knew about that, but I thought the other one looked less suave.  And most of my smoking for now will be alone anyway.

Oh, it seems the wholesaleorient guy is conveniently ignoring my emails now as well.

Yea I inspected the metal a little closer, it seems that even a pair of plyers cannot bend it in any fashion.

The hookah I ordered from hookahhookah.com arrived along with the Al Fakhertobacco from socialsmoke.  Although the hookah works great it seems that it is not actually stainless steel as advertised.  It is not magnetic and looks like it is brass or copper inside the inner pipe.  Social smoke seems to be based in texas while hookahhookah is in georgia.  So shipping time differs a little there. As for smoking I have noticed that I get buzzed pretty easily and then after it wears off I am so sleepy it is difficult to stay awake.  I noticed that during sleep it seems to affect the ability to discern reality from dreams.  Basically dreams seem more real - one time I thought I was still on the computer chatting on IM until I woke up. Also my heart felt kind of achey after a 3 bowl smoking session the other nite.  I think I'm going to stick to once a week now.  Al Fakher is great btw.  So far I've tried apple and grape.

Glad to be here. I'll post some pics of the working hookah when I get it working!

Hi, this is my first post here. I ordered a hookah from wholesaleorient (ebay user id) and ended up receiving a poorly made brass POS that was severely dented in two places on the stem rendering it unusable.  The seller claims it was shipping damage, which it may have been.  The pic on the guys listing looked good, but in reality it looks downright nasty (cheap glue and falling apart decorativeness all over in addition to a stem pipe that doesn't look too safe to smoke out of). How much did that sh*t cost?  Lets just say I paid up the ass without any lube.  The guy says he's gonna file a damage complaint with the shipping co, but I figure my money is prolly lost already there.  So I ordered a stem/vase from hookahhookah and some al fakher and lemon charcoal from social smoke, which is what I should have done to begin. (sorry mr bubble, i know they're theives) Hopefully it will all arrive some day and I'll get to smoke from the hookah! [img]http://www.statwhore.net/files/hookah/PICT1.jpg[/img] (damaged hookah)
