ghostofdavid Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Nice hookah. Chillers are mostly worthless though. In fact, I'd go against them because they usually leak and make a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waterboi Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Nice hookah but like ghost said, i wouldn't go for a chiller. they dont do much. ice in the base can do much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakes Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share Posted December 10, 2007 Well to be honest, I didnt really plan on using the chiller. I just think this particular pipe looks really nice. I would just go with the Glyph, but I don't mind paying $10 extra for a much nicer looking pipe, provided it performs the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like everyone else has said it is a bit gimmicky. It is nearly the same thing as the glyph so i say go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do yourself a favor and get a Syrian from either J&R or SocialSmoke.com... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Oolatec, careful, you tread on thin ice. But chillers are worthless. Get the Glyph or Engineer or Snake if you HAVE to buy a Syrian from H-S. Otherwise.... think of Oolatec as the Moses of Hookahs, and your an enslaved Jewish man. He will guide you to new lands of happiness and rainbows. If you are Goth, then Ozzy Osbourne and eclipses and chains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakes Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 Okay, you guys definitely know a LOT more than I do about this, so I'll check out the social smoke syrians. Sorry if I've ruffled any feathers with my noobness and I really appreciate everyone's help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakes Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 That one is pretty sweet too. Social smoke hookah seem a lil plain looking to me though. Does anyone know where I can find some more aesthetically pleasing pipes that will perform just as well as SS hookahs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Look at egyptians from HookahCompany. Make sure to get one that is "Brass cored" or has the word "Brass" in the description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakes Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 Wow, thats a sweet looking pipe. Can someone explain to me the diff between stainless steel and brass performance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 (edited) You will get MIXED AS HELL reviwes about it. But basically....Brass is more durable, and beter looking. It is heavier and sturdier, won't dent. It's thicker as well. Stainless Steel is usually nickel-plated metal. It can rust, but if you take care of it it wont. It is thinner, usually COMES WITH DENTS already in different areas of the stem, and doesnt feel sturdy like brass does (Unless it is a Mya Stem. those are awesome)Hookahs are made with Stainless Steel mostly now because it is cheaper and easier to produce than Brass.

Shakes Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 Thanks for clarifying. I found two that I really like, though this goes against Zen's advice of brass pipes (Please don't kill me, I'm hard-headed). These look like winners?Option AOption B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
