uselessdreamer1 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 i would have to say the second one. reason is because of the shaft design. its a nice straight through. with the oprn chamber'd ones they tent to leak, have green sh*t come out of them, etc. personally i think that price for both is bad. i think you can do a little more shopping and find better deals. im getting my torrent with a hard case for 90, with extras. also if your cousin is new maybe a 66 dollar hookah isnt for them. i would get a cheeper egyption and let them choose what they want next.

John Deere Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 You make it sound like an egyptian hookah is bottom of the barrel. Ive seem some inexpensive egyptian hookahs that were 10 times better than these modern ones. You people and your new fangled hookahs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uselessdreamer1 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 nono not at all. Egyption hookahs are nice. but there cheep( price ) so i was just recomending a cheeper one for him, so he could save some money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghaleon Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 what do you mean by an "open chambered shaft" uselessdreamer? how is that different as opposed to the close chambered shaft? Just curious, thanks. And yeah, i'd look for better prices. there are some solid egyptian hookahs on ebay you might want to check out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 you can get much more inexpensive ones than those. Look at places like hookah-shisha.com who have discount areas. I know h-s has some really nice ones down under 40 bucks. But definately keep shopping around. Though I would definately not go the ebay rought. never know exactly what you are getting.

uselessdreamer1 Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 i dont know if those were the correct terms, but open chamber is when the smoke just floats shaft. it causes buildup and such. With a straight one, i think theres more of a tube design, which causes the build up to occur less often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobmarlen Posted July 22, 2005 Author Share Posted July 22, 2005 maybe this one would be better for my cousin since you recommended an egyptian one: i can get it at hookah4u for 31.95. its a 25" egyptian hookah and it comes with 3 tobbaco boxes so that my cousin could start smoking immidiately when he gets his present.. tell me what you think, is it a good find or shall i keep surfing the web?

ioannisds Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Why not try socialsmoke.com? Or hookah-shisha.com? Or someplace else besides hooka4u.com? There are so many other sites you could be looking, I don't understand the fixation on the one website. I bought a very nice Egyptian hookah at social smoke, with a load of accessories and shisha for around $60. There is also a thread on this board called "the definitive online hookah thread" or something like that that has about every single vendor this side of the universe linked to it. Shop around! I still don't get why your posts always revolve around hookah4u.com. Mushrat? Are you there? I hear ya buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Deere Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I think there may be a confusion here. About the whole "open chambered shaft" thing, the inside if the stem, even if it has ornamentation and such like the one in the first pic, is still a straight narrow pipe, it just has a shell of other more decorative pieces to make it look like its not just a metal pipe.

cypress Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Does anyone have any experience in buying from hookah4u? What makes them look shady is that there is no phone numbers to contact them, payment is done by paypal, and there is not address listed on their website. For all I know that is a fly by night company. I used my moderator rights to look up this and its quite fishy. bobmarlen, I find it quite odd that your isp is www.bezeqint.net. That is an Israeli ISP. I then looked up the whois for hookah4u. The host is brinkster.net located in Arizona. The registrant contact of the site is from Israel. I dont know about you guys but since I live in the states I will stick to website who sell here.
