The fabulous Ian Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 So, I've finally got the extra cash saved up and it's time to purchase my new piece.I've already got a QT, so now it's time for something big and fancy-lookin'.I'm up in the air between The Zeus, from Southsmoke.com, which I can't find any reviews on...Or, also from Southsmoke.com, the Mya Frost.And it's not big, but it is fancy, so this is my third, kind of hangin'-back-there choice, the 28" Red Sangria from HookahCompany.comIf anyone can help me out, I'd like to hear what you've got to say on these. I really want something tall and pretty that I can convert to a double-hose if I feel the need. So far I'm leaning towards the Zeus, for price, looks and the package that gets sold with it, but I can't deny how well Mya's done for me so far.

Brownman18 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 zeus is ugly, the mya hose looks like a rancid hose i had that kept the taste of vomit after my first smoke session! my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Southsmoke doesn't get a lot of publicity around here, but those prices are competitive. I would go with the Zeus of those three. If you look around Hookah Company, there are comparably sized hookahs as the Zeus for $50 and $60... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatthewLee Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I'd go with the Zeus!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, if I were Zeus, I'd be really offended that something that hideous was made in my name. I'm really not digging the blue stripes.I think you should go with the Red Sangria.

If I have to, and I'm feeling I'm getting a really good deal out of it.I'm not very happy approaching or going past 100. I'm pretty comfy around the eighty dollar range.

racemyghost Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) If you didnt want something that can convert to a 2 hose, i would say the 26" or 36" al fakher hookah is nice and purtty. Smokes like a champ! (I would know, i got one ) From those 2, i would go with the Mya Frost. Edited August 1, 2007 by racemyghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokes like a champ! (I would know, i got one ) From those 2, i would go with the Mya Frost.I just saw those last night! I liked the look of it so much I almost was willing to forsake the idea of a 2-hoser, but this is going to be intended to be my having-people-over piece, so I'd like a two-hoser for practicality's sake. Though... yeah. I suppose I have to add an extra machine to my secondary-wish-list. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SafeSearchOff Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 dude, the al fakher hookah is sooo nice >.< pick it up. the other day i had 5 people over. when i have pretty large hookah gatherings like this, rather than sacrifice quality for ease of use, we just light up two hookahs. or 3, if we're ambitious.

The fabulous Ian Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 While I'm here, can anyone on this thread direct me to a site that sells the plugs for valves? I found them once under the name Check Valves, but didn't know what they were at the time, and haven't seen them since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SafeSearchOff Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 well, if your getting a mya, you can get them here:hookahcompany.com/next_generation_stem_adapter_2186_prd1.htmmnhookahs.com/product_info.php?cPath=28_39&products_id=94hookah-shisha.com/store/pc/configurePrd.asp?idcategory=31&idproduct=1548hookah-life.com/StoreBox/accessories/aop-000217.htmjust a few, didnt search every site i know of.otherwise you gotta plug with your hose, or buy hose stoppers that split on the end of your hoses.

The fabulous Ian Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 Well, I don't need the extra stem valves. What I was talking about were just metal plugs that would screw into the hose-valve opening and close the hole. Like a purge valve, without the purge. Or the valve. Just a screw to block up the opening, type of thing. Thanks for looking, though!Though, what do you mean by the things that split the end of your hose?

jaker29902 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 If your looking for something really fancy hookah-shisha has some nice stuff, and if you can find it cheaper on the net than what they have listed they will beat the price so yeah...

Check out the nuts and bolts section. I think you are looking for a machine nut.Find the right size and then pick up a paint marker if you want to make it match your stem.
