Zildjian Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Hey everyone, I stumbled upon this little gem of a forum and WOW is it great. Great knowledge nice people, awesome. So my girlfriend and I's one year is coming up (aaaand the chorus of awwwwws insue) and we met in a hookah bar. I shortly thereafter bought my own hookah and it has been a great social outlet and been the best investment i made in college, next to college. I bought it from a hookah bar and it has been a good hookah, but the paint has worn from the glass, things arent working as well etc etc...sooooo for our 1 year i wanted a new hookah. I would like a 2 hoser so we can both smoke at the same time, something with autoseal so you dont have to sit there with your thumb on it when not in use, and an overall nice looking, and great smoking hookah. The Stratus caught my eye but I saw some mixed reviews on it, any other input there?Also, feel free to make some suggestions because I am very open to checking out new hookahs! So far I have been drawn to Mya hookahs, some modern ones, and egyptians more so than syrian. I do prefer ice in my water, but I dont really like the Chiller. So PLEASE, suggest away!!-Evan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazria Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 (edited) And just to let you know, Autoseal systems can be both a blessing and a curse. I got a 2-hose Engineer (which is a nice heavy syrain) and it is (or rather was) a autoseal. Had an issue with the draw, was somewhat an effort and the purge valve didn't work well. Ended up removing a single bearing from one of the hose ports and although I have to plug off that port to smoke, it now smokes up a dream. Other than that, I've not had another issue with this hookah. But just letting you know, the autoseal system may (or may not) live up to hype.

nofrendo Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Autoseal is overrated, it affects the draw. The thumb is not so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zildjian Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 Well I am looking for up to $200. that doesnt mean that it needs to be that much, but like i said, I was looking at the stratus. Caught my eye mainly because of looks but I want something functional too. Right now my single hose is an auto-seal and i have no problem with it.MORE SUGGESTIONS! I DEMAND THEM! hehe jk-Evan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
