*HOT&SMOKING* Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Hey....It is not necessary to have a self seal system....it helps....but what we usually do if we don't use all hoses we put a little blob of prestic over the mouth piece/hole.....or even a bit of tape.And I would recomend buying a nice two piper rotator....it is still prefect for more than three people.But it depends on how often you need all three hoses if you wanna buy a 3 hosed one.-H&S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allia22 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 It's not that hard to do. My first hookah was a two-hose. I just bought the rubber stopper from socialsmoke, jammed it into the unused hose port, and it was automatically a one-hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankenstein_666 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Yeah, the Rotators are really nice and high quality too. There are little problems/issues with all hookahs but for the money and uniqueness...i would go with the rotator because they have large bases and mine has never tipped or even looked like it was going to! SouthSmoke has some really nice quality ones too!You would just plug the other hose outlet when not using multiple hoses. I usually just use one hose with 2 people because we use our own throw away mouth pieces + if you are smoking with more than one person it's an easier pull to have them plug their hose or pull together!?...You can pull with the other hose open but it's really hard and you do not get a large draw.

jonny_lech Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 The only reason I would really go more than two, I suppose, is that at one particular party of mine, we had two hookahs going and it was still not enough. Hahaha, perhaps I just need to work on building a collection, since all my hookah smoking friends bow to the quantity of shisha I have! That's mostly due to the fact that the Middle Eastern stores around here have dirt cheap Nakhla and Al Fakher. *sigh* I must say though, I long for Starbuzz.

frankenstein_666 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 yeah, that's exactly what I did...I bought the Rotator first and then wanted to try the smaller ones, so I bought a 21" single and a Mya QT...My next one will be a multiple hose 2or3 in a 25-30"...just so I cover all my bases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been said that rotators are notorious for eventually leaking water everywhere. No personal experience, but ask the mods, I'm pretty sure they'll confirm this.This girl I know got one and it hadn't leaked yet, but she got drunk and knocked it over, miraculously it didn't break. Yet as she was spinning it like a toy, attempting to show it off but only succeeding in disgusting me in the total disrespect she was displaying, there was a noticable wobble that she'd put in by the fall. (damn, I want to rescue it now ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankenstein_666 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 YES....they do leak water! Sorry, forgot to mention that...it's no big deal to me because I am in a shop and water is the last of my worries leaking. If you are not concerned for a little bit of water leakage then they are amazing. They are also a little hard to attach the stem to the base as well. I do not have a problem with it because the quality of this sucker makes me take my time and I love it. Maybe the traditional egyptian 2 hoser would be better...then you can graduate to a more complex one like the rotator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny_lech Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 What does the rotator give you, other than making passing easier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shaft disassembles for easy cleaning. pretty sure its metal dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
