Elky Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I've been planning on upgrading to a new hookah for a while now and while all the KM, Mya, and Social Syrian pipes that everyone recomends are nice in their own right, they just don't quite do it for me. I really like the Infinity hookah from Sahrah Smoke Co. and I have heard that their vases are top notch. I guess I'm just looking to make sure I don't end up with some crappy hookah again (my first one was a chinese knockoff that I overpaid for). So is this a solid setup?Also I'm thinking of just buying the vase and getting the stem from the discount bin. A 20 dollar stem is very appealing for someone on a collage student budget. Has anyone bought a discount stem from them, seems like a steal because the site says that the imperfections are cosmetic and the shipping weight is around 5 lbs. So whats the word? Good, bad, indifferent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zildjian Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 id still prefer something that is clear rather than painted and also id like something else personally. not sure on any personal reviews, but km or mya for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oolatec Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 You'd kill yourself for getting a crappy "budget" stem. That's the most important part of a hookah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elky Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 I had a feeling that would be a case, I was hoping someone might have tried it with success. Regular stems any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elky Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 I know, but the way I see it anything is an improvement on the pipe I have now. Its a Junior 2 hose knockoff . If anyhitng I can upgrade the stem at a later time, but I do want somehitng that can last me a little while on it's own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZenSilk Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Dude, go for quality over looks. You have a shitty-ass pipe now, so why not get a bomb-ass pipe now and surprise all your friends. We can help you find a sexy one...But.. if not even ONE Mya is doing it for you....You are very picky... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are unfortunatly more than I can afford, what with having to spend 1500 on car insurance this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Yeah, damn. Well maybe you could save up for 2 months. A sexy Mya it's worth it's heavy price. Well, if you are in it for the aesthetics as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaia.plateau Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I advise you to keep looking until you find the pipe that is just right for you. It is entirely possible to find a top-quality pipe that is aesthetically appealing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
