Bushbr Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 my Pharoah fills up so fast, i really don't have a need for that, i have no problem power-tokin for a few seconds to get it started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekon Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Usually instead of power hitting for about a minute (i have small lungs) i leave the coal on for a minute while fully red and a bit ashed. It gives me some time to gather or put away extra things like coals, extra hoses, shisha, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechAnt Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I like! Have the air port that blows out fan coals that are partially lit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayVer Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 or use it to blow off your stems like the "shisha vac" does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zildjian Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 maybe ill rig up my aero-bed vacuum. that would work great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyt Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 that 18 dollar one seems really useful for a lounge or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfaltous Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Sorry for digging up a fossil of a thread, but I figured there's no sense in making a new one that will bring up the same stuff anyways Last I heard they were planning on shipping it in January 2008, then there were some sort of fire-related problems that they had which pushed it back... Now they have a new website and all, so I was hoping they'd be closer to a finished product.I've e-mailed them for info, but have yet to hear back. Has anyone heard anything about this product recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDHarding Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) If someone needs something to heat their coals, just get a portable stove burner. They cost $20 for the cheapest, and you can stick a pot or something on it and throw all your coals in it.As for the rest of that thing.. it's a vaccuum with an air filter. Not worth $250.Edit: Shit, I didn't notice how old this thread was. Edited January 30, 2009 by JDHarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inino Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 usually i can start my bowl in about 2-3 hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worth $250.Edit: Shit, I didn't notice how old this thread was.Yeah, like I said it's a fossil... The nice thing about this is it's basically a stove burner combined with an oven, similar idea to using a foil dome over the stove... It lights coals way faster than a coil burner. On top of that, the suck/blow ports on it make cleaning and drying both stems and hoses a lot easier. Plus this looks way nicer sitting on your kitchen counter than a dirty old school coil burner... But obviously the price point is high, and it's not for everyone. I definitely want one for myself QUOTE (inino @ Jan 30 2009, 01:17 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>usually i can start my bowl in about 2-3 hits.Um... okay?

ElijahSing Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 so what exactly does it do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfaltous Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 ES: It's all on the site. Read through it I just got this response to my inquiry, if anyone else cares for it... although I find it odd that a Chicago-based company puts out a 240 VAC model before a 120 Any of you electrical-minded types out there know how easy/practical it is to get some sort of transformer that would allow a 240VAC system to work from a North American socket?Hi Mr. Faltous,We apologize for the time it is taking. We have only released machines rated for 240VAC. It is likely to take 6 months for the 120 VAC model to be safety certified and released to the public. Thank you for your patience and be assured we will ship your unit when available.Shishavac Customer Service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FactorE Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Any updates on this again? I am also interested in this system. looks stylish and it does make cleaning my hoses alot easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
