indy Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 (edited) That stem has me guessing its integrity. It may just be the picture but it looks like its glass halfway down the stem? Just another piece to break and another location to leak air. BUT, the good news is that you are getting yourself into the game!!! Welcome to the wonderful world of hookah!

hookaheveryday Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 A good rule of thumb is to avoid ebay when buying hookahs. But if you practice your technique enough you can get any hookah smoking great. Plus, at 50$ its not a risky investment anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAKCuMG Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Rollad Instant Lites are OMFG awful....they gave me horrible headaches, and the taste was discusting. I have 9 rolls lying around (havent gotten around to throw them out). They are so bad that after I put them up for trade, I felt so bad that I asked that the post be removed.Do yourself a favor and toss them. $10 or what ever they cost is not big bucks in the long run.Just stick to 3 kings if instant lights are your preference (they are mine). never had a single problem with them.As far as your hookah, who knows, it might actually turn out OK. Its not a MYA or a KHALIL MAMOUN, but who cares, we all started with some cheap pipe we were totally ripped off for. This is why you are here, to obtain valuable information, better the hookah experience for you and your friends (it is a social thing), and learn how to avoid bad deals.I still dislike people who pray on someone elses lack of knowledge, presenting something that is crap as though it is top notch stuff. But i guess people will be people. None of us are angels.Except maybe the Mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DVS Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I think you will like it... it doesn't seem like its a crappy hookah. I smoke soex, and i can get it going good, and i use rollands, just make sure they are fully lit, of course you can always get better by going with natural or finger coals, and a better tobacco like layalina, al waha, al amir, al fakher, or starbuzz.

talksrealfast Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Hey, you gotta start somewhere. Even if the coals suck, and the Soex sucks, think of it this way. If you can get that working to a point where you can enjoy it, just imagine what some natural coals and some premium brand tobacco will be like. If you started at the top, you'd have nowhere to go, right?I have some Soex, but haven't smoked it yet. The smell doesn't seem that appealing to me (both vanilla and cherry) and people 'round these parts (and by that I mean this forum) don't care for it much. I just got some After Nine in, and I hated it. The chocolate was very artificial, like tootsie rolls, which I also hate. I'm actually giving it away to another member on this forum. Your mileage may vary, and I expect you'll like it since most people do.It's good that you're getting started and getting into it on your own. You'll probably burn your tobacco for a while, and it won't be that pleasant, but keep at it and you'll be enjoying it in no time. Just to add, I had Golden coals and a variety of Al Waha stuff, but got some 3kings and Starbuzz X on the Beach, and then realized how good it could be. Friggin' love Starbuzz now.Just keep at it.

I hit ebay up all the time. Usually for vintage kimonos from overseas, etc. And I might buy a hookah from there if I knew the model and were reasonably sure of what I was getting. I can't imagine ordering shisha though. I'd worry about freshness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Fair comment BoHo... But a lot of us around here have never seen a decent hookah from ebay.They are all substandard and, to be frank, crap.[I am sure that someone will be along to contradict me shortly ]JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazria Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 not every ebay deal sucks, just dont expect gold. My first hookah was from ebay, lasted 3 long years of my noobish abuse. But smoked liked a dream. My 4th hookah also came from ebay, a chinese knock off, but I knew it and acepted it. Remarkaly, smokes well for what it is. I agree, alot of ebay deals are not worth the money. good luck, it might be a good rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
