shisha fan Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 it looks great, but you might want to replace the metal bowl after you get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scimita_R Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Hi, my first real post, and i think im being brave by saying, personally i think multihose shisha's are just pointless, firstly, it just looks wrong, one shisha to one guy/girl, its the way it was, way it should be lol and secondly they are not as good a smoke in my experience as a single hose shisha, other than that the glass looks nice...

shisha fan Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 you could probably unscrew the second hose port and put a purge valve on it if it doesn`t smoke good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL15 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 thats a nice looking hookah, but yeah like others said i would use another bowl to replace the metal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elky Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 The only thing I can see abut this hookah is that the downstem seems to end before the glass bulbs out so its going to take a lot of water. Might just be the picture though. Beautiful style. If you dont mind my asking, whats the damage on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopooshaboo Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 From what I've heard, the quality of the Saharasmoke hookahs isnt very high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 +1 to that. But i'm gonna get a catalyst vase sooner or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopooshaboo Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 +1 to that as well, I love the bases and they supposedly have thick-ass glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Maybe the unlucky Mya owners who have broken Vortex glass can get one of those.. actually..... someone should check the dimensions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillZedKill Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 I wasn't really looking at the two hosed model, but it costs about $110.00, around 90 for the single hosed hookah. I've always owned one hosed hookahs, so I might get the second hose, and if I dont like it just turn it into a check valve, not that hard to do.

ZenSilk Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 90 dollars? wow.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabanapatio Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Yeah man I smoked out of one of those recently, different colored base etc...cosmetic differences. It smokes well, very airtight. I would definitely change the bowl...metal bowls just don't seem right. The biggest plus about this sucker is the base. It's very stable and its strong! It's good...but 90 bucks a bit too much in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookah_Bob3 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Sahara smoke and the sister companies do a --really-- good job of making their products like --really-- good, and my best friend did buy one a long time ago and it was a decent product, but be warned, if you break the base, prepare to break the bank to get a new one (His base broke on the second day because another friend dropped it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookah hippie Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Well having no experience with this hookah I will point out a few things that I think about it due to what I can tell from seeing it.First off the base is awesome and it looks thick so thats a plusThe stem is most likely stainless steel which is good not as great as brass but it will do. The bowl is crap but easily replaceableNot a fan of multi hose hookahs at all. Don't like cobra hoses either you can't wash them and personally I just don't like them.I don't think I personally would buy this hookah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 For 90 bucks, why not take a step and get an AF rig. Much better quality. An d you're most likely only buying this hookah for it's vase. Saharasmoke/HookahHookah do not make very high quality stems at all, so if you want the vase, i'd say buy it seperately. They have very nice vases, i have to admit, but the stems do not compliment those vases in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AS to the OP, i like the Catalyst better, but alot of those bases are just SEXY. This time I'm going to disagree with you Zen, but probably because I'm a traditionalist. I'd rather set up multiple hookahs rather than use multiple hoses, but then I own multiple hookahs, so for me that's an easy choice. But part of the fun of hookah is to pass it along. I remember so many nights when my girlfriends and I sat around and just passed a hose around over and over and over without taking a break. It's part of the whole experience I think.'Rani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PirateNinja415 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 yea, i really don't mind passing the hose at all, it kind of gives you a break form smoking so you don't get headaches and whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scimita_R Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Yeh having multiple shishas is much better, i have 3 anyways so when my mates come its not a problem, and it doesnt matter how well you set up the shisha its still not the same as a single hose shisha, and about the headache thing, i dont get that, it only happens when i eat and smoke, i actually got quite sick lol (bad memeories ) never doing it again.

chrisrbts Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 (edited) From personal experience, the downstems are short and can be very pick about water level (have accidently pulled water into the hose numerous times) also the stem felt very flemsy and the ash tray did not lock onto the stem. The unique shape of the base causes a lot of bubbling which in return caused the ash tray to rattle very loudly every time someone took a hit.However i LOVEEEEEEEEEE the glass, my base is probably the thickest base i have ever seen, and it has been accidently dropped a couple times and didn't break.I eventually bought a social smoke stem which had a longer downstem than original stem that came with the hose and changed out all the grommets with mya silicon grommets.After all the upgrades i was only left with the social smoke base, but the thing smokes amazing.
