Fubar37 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Im going to purchase a Hookah tomorrow at one of my local smoke shops but i had some concerns on price, I was looking to spend about 110-130 bucks. Do you think this is realistic for a nice rig to enjoy with all my friends? Or should i dig a bit deeper into the old pocket book. I wanted a large possibly egyptian hookah but I might change my mind because all of the good things ive been reading about syrian hookahs on here. Any advice on price and type?thanks in advance guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbyers Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I got a nice 28" egyptian with 2 hoses for around $100. It was marked as $92, and then I bought some tobacco to go with it.but, generally you get what you pay for i would imagine, buy what you think you'll like. That's all that's important I'd say, is getting something you're going to like in 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahwahoo2006 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 If you can wait a little bit, you can spend $60-80 online and get a fantastic piece, especially after some of the forum discounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamscott06 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 (edited) Yea that forum discount is amazing Pretty much i never pay for shipping... lol Edit: Just rememberd something i wanted to say, if this is your first hookah i'd def buy it online, if you buy it online you are gonna recieve everything you need to start smoking asap. coals, shisha, pipe cleaner, gromets stuff like that. Not sure what kind of local shop you have or what they sell but buying on line is the way to go. Edited October 30, 2007 by iamscott06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemmiwinks Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I got my 22" SS Egyptian 3 hose hookah with 3 250 g tubs of layalina, an extra bowl and a box and a half of coals and all the goodies that come with the hookah for around $100, and it's a great hookah with everything I need to have a good time with friends. 110-130 is definitely more than enough money.

I think it's GenuineHookahs ( Read about him here http://www.hookahforum.com/index.php?showt...mp;#entry165929 ). A very shady dealer according to a few people. Good luck on your order, and don't forget, when your order arrives don't forget to take many many pictures so you can show off your brand new baby .

RayVer Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 not to mention the quality of the stuff I've chose to buy online is far better then what they sell at the local shops here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
