NoPeace Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 hey so i have been strongly advised to stay away from pimpyourhookah. i have 100 bucks to spend on a hookah, a box of 3 kings coals and a tangier funnel. preferably i want a KM but unless i buy from pimpyourhookah, i wont find some that would fit in the 100 dollar range with the other things. can someone point me in the direction of a good hookah to get? no shorter than 25 inches.

Very solid, smokes wonderfully too. Ali (screen name Social Smoke here) even inspected it personally before shipping it out. SS is tops in my book as far as I'm concerned.

NoPeace Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 yea i kinda wanna get this one actuallyhttp://www.shopping.socialsmoke.com/item--...--SYRIAN12.htmlits still a syrian and everything it just looks slicker. im not sure im still debating. however the hookah that i have now that ive been having so much problems with is a syrian and so im worried i wont get flavor out of this one either and once i use it i cant return it so it would be 100 bucks wasted.

ZenSilk Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 (edited) Flavor does not have anything to do with hookah type....Smoke and Pull is based on the pipe. The hearts on the SS Syrians are Traditonal, therefore will smoke the same as a KM or MZ. BUT, the Syrian from SS is made of solid brass. SO you can get a KM for 50 bucks, or get a SS Syrian for 60-70. The Syrian will of course stand up to more abuse and last longer over all. And that's only 20 bucks you're adding.EDIT:Oh yes, and of course KM's will always be available; SS Syrians will not, and will be gone soon. There also happens to be a naval blockade on Syria (whether or not it is still in action...or ever was) so that might affect the U.S. Syrian hookah market.

Many more factors affect flavor... not necessarily the pipe itself, so long as it's clean.And the one you linked to is very nice... however, as I recall, the stem isn't one solid piece, but a few pieces welded together. You should shoot Social Smoke here (Ali) a PM and see what he says... just for clarification's sake, as I'd hate to spread wrong info about that particular pipe.

NoPeace Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 im pretty sure on what hookah im gonna go with but i just wanted to get any last opinions that anyone has because i havent gotten to see all the hookahs out there and well.... you guys have so shoot me any hookahs that would appeal to what i said before. thanks a ton to everyone who has already posted hookahs. i love all of them and im not 100% on what one im going to chose. I like the 39 incher on hookah life but the problem is i would only get that one in green and that is out of stock. i think i might go with oolatec's original recommendation of the green and gold syrian. its a beautiful hookah and im sure its really good. i think i would like it more if it had the stem of the large chrome & gold syrian with the clear base on the same site but i could go with the gold stem.

Give them a call, explain to them that you are a Hookah Forum member, and was wondering if they could do any mixing and matching for you...

NoPeace Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 hahaha i mean i couldnt image its a major things unless they are pre boxed and stuff like that. i dont want to like push him and stuff tho but i mean i might as well give it a try. what do u think about that combo. i just kinda like the multiple colored stem, it just seems so much fancy and slick.

oolatec Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 If it were me, I'd go with the green and gold. But you know that already. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy1966 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I only see 2 choices. I would go with the one from HC. I like the other one, but I am not a fan of the gold colored stem. To me it is a little ugly. I am telling ya, get the Hafa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
