MechAnt Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 From my experience, that pipe does smoke decently but it doesnt quite have the same lifespan as higher quality hookahs.Also, congrats to GT for spanking Notre Dame.

Hookah_Bob3 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I'd go for the QT myself. I always seem to be recommending it, but I really do enjoy mine. It's portable, light, can be picked up by the stem if you accidentally grab it instead of the base in a drunken stupor, and is easy as hell to set up and break down.

GThookah Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 Thanks! it was a great game! we were all cheering and watching it on HD tv. What exactly do you mean by lifespan? Also i did some searching on the forum and did not come up with any conclusive answers. So i will ask now. Should i get the regular base or the Genie base? which one is better?

Dekon Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Genie looks like it holds more water than the regular base. I say go for the genie . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 i mean lifespan as in the long term durability of the hookah. A well built and maintained one will easily last over two years. This particular hookah starts to degrade after a while. My friend trashed his a while back after about 9 months cause the welds starting giving way amongst other various rusting.

leadpipecinch21 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 if i had the chance to grab a hookah for my dorm, i'd go with something like thishttp://www.hookahcompany.com/blue_egyptian...a_2222_prd1.htmit's small, it's cheap, and if something ends up happening to it, you can get 2 more for the same price as the nile...

garykainz Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 the link you posted is pretty much the baby brother of the hookah i have (the H-S.com Sphinx). it smokes great, but whatever you do, don't get it in the red. the red paint/glaze/whatever that is on the base will come right off if it gets wet. over all, it's a great smoke, i'd say go for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olooko Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I have something similar, it smokes pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leadpipecinch21 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 not a bad choice...just make sure you're careful with the base...if it's anything like the other frosted mya bases, they're pretty thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaker29902 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I have the same exact hookah, piece of advice GET THE GENIE BASE!!!!!!!! it is worth it, I have the regular style base, and its not big enough to smoke for 3+ people, 2 its okay, 1 its great, but the genie base is so worth the extra $5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
