Soup Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I've got two quesions. I already contacted H-S about half a week ago and haven't heard anything. Question the first: Are the hoses that come with the Abyss washable? Question the second: What is the size of the base on said hookah? From the picture and my crappy figuring, it looks like a medium base, but what would a medium sized base be doing on a 34" tall hookah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 It does look a might top heavy. The hoses LOOK like the mya hoses I have that are totally washable. I've heard good things about the company, but the lack of a reply to your e-mail MIGHT be a hint to look elsewhere. $.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 My brother, Stew, got his hookah from there...the Sphinx 1 hose genie..and it was perfectly handled. I have seen two example of hookahs: My friend, Leon, got his from hookahhub and its quality is less than perfect, then I saw Stew's...I was greatly impressed with the quality and workmanship that was put into that hookah. That is my first choice for places to buy from and I am finding it hard to look at other sites for hookahs knowing what I can expect from H-S.

jakescakes Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 i ordered from them twice. great customer service, and reccoment them in terms of satisfaction the hose is probably the same washable one i received both times. i agree the hookah is heavy, but its cool, get something from them!!

Soup Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 Atleast the hose issue is out of the way. Any insight into the size of the base? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR Bubble Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I have a medium sized Syrian (different hookah from a different store) but the size of the base reminds me of what you're looking at. The smoke from mine isn't as cool as the larger Egyptians. I just never have had a good smoke from it and I do blame it on the base size. However, the length of the shaft may help it cool down some before it hits the water. Don't really know. MR Bubble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alen Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Seems like a medium to me -the latest year i also been smoking a syrian and thought i was doing ok but a week ago i started to use ol abdul again (large egyptian) and to be honest i dont think i be smoking the syrian again so i guess it is as they say the bigger the better -it was my wife that thought we should buy the syrian beacuse it looked better but i guess she have to get use to ugly abdul again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 Should I get this one or look into getting a large egyptain? The first time I looked at the abyss I fell in love with it...stark black!!! But there are also the 30" egyptians too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Dorian Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I would dissagree, in my experience the sryian style bowls are far less prone to harshness and also make thicker smoke, because in general they have a better depth to surface area ratio. The only negative might be longevity, as egyptian bowl tend to be large and last through longer sessions/more people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 The abyss is a mod hookah that works off the egyptian bowl system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
