sebby_0 Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 (edited) Hello all. I am thinking about buying the Chiller 2 Hose pipe from Hookah-shisha. Does anybody here have any personal experience with this pipe? Also do you think it is worth the money? This would be my third pipe if I buy it. Any comments would be nice. Thanks.https://www.hookah-shisha.com/store/pc/configurePrd.asp?idcategory=8&idproduct=113 Edited May 6, 2007 by sebby_0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rooker Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 I used a friend's once. It's not really worth it. You can stick your hookah in the freezer if you want. Or, the best way is just put like half ice half water in your base. That's where the smoke sits/passes/filters, so it would be the best way to cool the smoke. Also, the longer the stem, the more time it has to cool. Just my opinion. Take it or leave it.Happy Smoking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebby_0 Posted May 6, 2007 Author Share Posted May 6, 2007 So what on that site would you reccomend me to get instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oggie505#2 Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 chillers are mainly for looks, just put ice in the base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebby_0 Posted May 6, 2007 Author Share Posted May 6, 2007 I would prefer if I ordered from hookah-shisha. So if you don't think I should get the chiller, which specific one should I get instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oggie505#2 Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 all depends on how long u been smoking. As a first hookah, you cannot go wrong with an egyptian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebby_0 Posted May 6, 2007 Author Share Posted May 6, 2007 As I said in the first post I already have two pipes. I bought them both from the dubai airport. One is ten inches and the other around 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markchan Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 u know i disagree, if u put too much ice in the base the ice tends to make the drag harder, it does cause the smoke to filter more though. it's the hot smoke tht melts the ice in the base causing it to melt faster. the chiller acts like a pre cooler and cools the smoke before it hits ur ice in the base. the melting process slows down. any extra coolness helps i reckon.

ggb Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 You know, whatever the physics of the ice and all, if you like the syrian chiller, just get it! I've never heard anyone say it's a bad pipe, and personally I really like the look. If the ice thing on top doesn't do anything, just don't fill it. If nothing else it looks like it'd make the ash tray more stable (a problem on my egyptian). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's passing by too fast. Your best bet is ice in the base. Even once the ice has melted, the water is still extremely cold.30 inches with 2 hoses:https://www.hookah-shisha.com/store/pc/conf...p;idproduct=10326 inches with 2 hoses:https://www.hookah-shisha.com/store/pc/conf...mp;idproduct=9922 inches with 2 hoses:https://www.hookah-shisha.com/store/pc/conf...mp;idproduct=94These hookahs all have good reviews and are a good price. Sturdy bases that won't topple over so easily. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for stability I'd recommend not getting the genie base, mine has been a little wobbly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey32b Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I have a pipe with an ice chiller and in my opinion, it helps a lot. Putting ice in the base doesn't compare to the coolness you get from a chiller. I fill the chiller with ice and then pour some water in there and it gets really cold, really fast.

3rooker Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 My experience with chiller pipes has been not good. They haven't really worked for me. Your smoke could be cooler because of the fact that it's a larger hookah too tho! They didn't work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
