gr!m Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Well I have a standard hose that came with my Egyptian from Caravansarai. I've had it about a month now and have been using it on a daily basis. Once in a while I would get a drop or two of water in the hose from the bubbles being very volatile but I figured no big deal. Well I let my hose and everything dry out for a whole day and I saw a brown liquid oozing from the bottom of the hole when I went to go get it. Looks like it might be rusting so I am going to make an order!On another note, I'm going to stop smoking until my new Razan and Tangeirs Medium Phunnel show up because I smoked today and it seriously f**ked me up. For brealfast (11am) today I had apricot with breakfast, about 20 minuted in the stuff gets REALLY harsh so I switch out to AF Cola. Now after about 45 minutes into the cola I'm feeling very very awful. Not from a buzz, not from harsh smoke, not from the flavor. It almost felt like a severe anxeity attack, sort breathes, shaking, ect. So i think "Shit did I get mild CO poisoning from the coals? No, no, I always let them completely ash over before using them." I think it's from too much nicotine lol, I smoke 2 times Friday, 4 times yesterday, and then the one time today. I tried later and the same thing happened. So I'm stopping until I get my new gear.Order from Mn. Hookah:Razan Hose (Black, I wanted a washable hose)Tangeirs Medium Phunnel (Blue/Black. I tried a ghetto rigged phunnel and it worked great, figured I should get a real one.)I also have AF Mango coming from my buddy that I did the gift exchange with, He says he ordered it yesterday so I can't wait to get it.Anywho, what do you guys think of the Razan hose?Also, picking up some coals...Coco Naras or Exoticas? I only had $80 in my account + a tiny ass paycheck so I didn't go all out on my MNH order. Once I get my taxes back I hope to order some Fantasia Bueberry, Margarita, and another flavor and also order a Starbuzz three pack.Another quick question. I noticed some white stuff (corrosion?) building up near the hole where the smoke comes through into the hose. Any ideas of what it could be, I think my stem is a stainless steal core but looking at the color te inside looks like a bronzish color maybe. Not sure, it's the 29" Blue Nirvana from Caravansarai. I'll post pics tomorrow, sitting in bed now and don't feel lie getting up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy1966 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I had the worst experience today smoking Fantasia Pink Lemonade with a Phunnel. It was a little tricky at first, and I had some good smoke for about 40 min. and then had a real hard time with heat control. Then in about 10 minutes it got real nasty tasting. I took off all the coals and went to go see what went on. I did not have enough tobacco left and it burned it all up and it was cooking the juices...yummy. 2 hits of that and I was messed up big time. White stuff does not sound good. Not sure what kind of metal corrosion it could be. Just hope not galvanized! I always run water and brush out my Hookahs everyday. I hardly find a need to even use lemon juice. Same with my Nammor. At the end of the day I will rinse out the hose a ittle with just warm water and blow it out a little and hang it on a door knob. Exoticas are good, but they are hit and miss where ever you get them. They are good coals, but very inconsistent. MNH has good Exoticas. World Hookah does too (DPG) Mine were good from HS and HC, but that was long time ago and now some people are getting not up to par coals. Another vendor I can not mention also has good coals. I have coconaras and they are good too. A Razan hose should be very good. I have no experience with them, but I guess they are like the Nammor. A totally washable hose.

PhishPhood Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Razan hose is great. I love it. Best hose I've used. Great pull, fully washable. I got the all black too but I'm using the colored tip offa my KM hose so its got a multi color tip on the black hose. Its pretty sexy imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackiain Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I have found when smoking my hookah to frequently like several times a day over a couple of days I do get shortness of breath, but I figure that is not too too big of a deal considering it is smoke being sucked into your lungs. And sometimes I tend to get carried away and take rather large hoots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamscott06 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I actually just recieved my order of a Razan, Phunnel, mod, laylina from MNhookah on satuday Razan kicks ass!

This could very well be tarnish or corrosion, but it is hard to tell without seeing it. Pictures maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamjames Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Just thought I'd post some pics of a rusty hose I ripped apart a couple months ago. It made me and everyone else who smoked out of it very sick. I will only use washable hoses from now on. I currently use a Nammor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might add it does not take a lot of heat to produce it. I have been working as a metal fabricator and they even spot weld and tack weld some galvanized where I work. Very very dangerous! If there is bad plating of galvanized, it is white in corrosion. It could be something else on Grim's Hookah. I doubt they use galvanized metal on a Hookah. Ouch for the rusty hose. Look at all the yummies in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeppyrkr Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 throw a mod on there! well i think it helps a ton for the phunnel, some will say different but if your ordering from mnh any ways its like 6 bucks, just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr!m Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 Oooo oo the excitment, got my tacking info yesterday and shipped out today...shouldn't take too long from MN to VA...WOOT! I am doing a video review of their services so look forward to that, and so far, FASTEST SHIP OUT EVER! HS usually takes 3 days just to process my stuff.On another note, I contacted the owner to ask if he had any 50g Fantasia I could buy (only 200g containers on their site) because I've been hearing rave reviews of this pnk lemonade and blueberry stuff. I offered to pay for them and he sent me two 50g of pink lemonade for free...sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
