Is This Hookah Good?


Recommended Posts

I would rate the first one as crap, just because it is being sold by Genuine Hookahs. Avoid that seller at all costs. SafeSearchOff has the rest right too. Ebay is not the place to buy I hookah, IMHO.

Agreed, GenuineHookahs was a shady piece of crap in the past. Was passing off regular tobacco on his ebay store as being tobacco free, just to get past the no tobacco rules. Not to mention he got pretty damn defensive when this forum called him out on his bullshit.

I wouldn't buy a hookah from him even if there was nothing wrong with it, AND it was cheaper than online site prices..

Aside from that little rant, I'd agree with the fellers above and just buy a hookah from a site with a reputation. Check out the review section for a list of retailers, and read up on what they had to say.

Hey just to let you know the discounted egyptian you suggested comes with a velvet hose, avoid these at all costs!! I had a cobra which was made out of the same material. After the first few smokes a horrible taste stayed in it, which ruined the whole smoking expirience. Make sure you get a leather hose, or if you want to spend a bit extra, purchase a nammor!

Genuine Hookah has a lot of positive feedback now...maybe the guy reformed?

I think all those hookahs you linked are crappy...if the bidding goes any length of time...don't buy shit on EBay...its a rip off. Those are main-line production hookahs, why would they go up for auction? To rip people off. If you want a cheap hookah, buy one from HookahCompany, those $20 fatota ones...I would recommend saving your shekels and buying a nicer one, though. Spend like $100 bucks and you can do a lot better. Spend $120 and you can get a really good one.

I will second what is being said here. It is bust to buy a hookah form a reputable maker through a reputable supplier. If you insist on using ebay though, than I would suggest you try
http://stores.ebay.com/Caravansarai-Imports

My first hookah came from these guys. It is not a bad hookah, and it is a genuine egyptian, not a chinese copy. They do different sizes and models. They also are one of a few suppliers actually reccomended by Hookah Culture's buyers guide page.

Well, they're all "stainless" at any rate... I'd stay away from the golden pyramid unless you buy a full grommet set and new bowl. My friend got that one - the grommets sucked monkey nuts, the bowl was a super standard shallow "burn me, please!" clay bowl that, well, burned everything we ever put in it in spite of all of our putzing with the different variables. The hose never lost its plastic flavor, either.
