Boersnoes Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 (edited) So, last autumn, my bottle broke...I didn't want to spend any money on a pipe I was not gonna use for half a year (I don't smoke inside).Now spring is around the corner, so I should be getting me some new gear.This time around, I would like to have a dual hoze one.But most of all, since I'm always using it in outside areas, I want it to have a stable base.I tried a search, but didn't get any usefull results, so I turn to another "advise me" thread..So.. any advise?

PhishPhood Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Sounds like you're gonna be carrying it location to location alot, so get a QT. Everyone loves em, and if it should happen to tip, its not far to fall.Wide base diameter too so it shouldnt fall over unless someone trips over the hose or something stupid like that.

shisha fan Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 thats really exagerated gaia. maybe you like the mya saturn, which definately has a stable base http://www.shisha-world.com/MYA+Saturn+4er...+Dunkelblau.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaia.plateau Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 it feels like there's been about one a day since I've been here, which is only 120 or so days. So I guess that is a bit hyperbolic. But I think it's accurate to say that no other pipe has had even a 20th or 50th the complaints about broken bases though.QUOTE (shisha fan @ Feb 14 2008, 02:51 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>thats really exagerated gaia. maybe you like the mya saturn, which definately has a stable base http://www.shisha-world.com/MYA+Saturn+4er...+Dunkelblau.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one and I love the thng.I have a Sahara Smoke Cyclone. It is a very stable vase. They have larger vases that shape that will be good for your stem. I would go with them for sure. I still need to find a better stem for mine. It is ok, but it is not going to last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoalition Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 aside from the dual hose part you could just get a hobo hookah. then if the base breaks...big deal just drink a bottle of liquor and you have a new base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmediahOU Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 go with a qt, just check it when you get it and if there are cracks email h-s.com and tell them, they will gladly send you a new one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hinrg Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I'm placing my vote for a Mya Paragon... I just got mine in the mail a couple weeks ago and it is super stable and built like a tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elky Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 i notice a lot of people recomending Myas which can be pricey. What type of budget are you looking at for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boersnoes Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 (edited) Haha, love this! Been gone for a day and already got a lot of replies As for the budget: I want something to last.My filosofy in all purchases is to spend a little more and use it for a little longer.(yes, still using my very first mobile )Breaking: I don't want my base to break AGAIN! My very first one (which is also the one I'm finally replacing now) snapped 2 times.I was cleaning it and the bottom just snapped clean of.. 2 times! If you ask me this was a production issue. Too much tension + warm water = snap?Since it was a very clean breaking line (word?), without chips, I was able to glue it.The reason I'm replacing it now was a transport issue I already got two little pipes to take with me on quests in yonder-land. This one will mainly be for garden use. So I was thinking big.I know, big does not equal better, but it is more impressive The reason I want a stable base is not really because the base would break, but because I hate to loose a good coal & shisha, break the head on the tiles, burn ppls clothes etc. It happens more then is fun that with passing the hose the pipe just tips over. Maybe this will be a lot less with my new hose, but nevertheless I would like to limit the burn holes in my garden-sofa this time.Also, I got three acceptable spare stems lying on my clauset here. Are there stores where I can buy just the vases?@thecoalition: not looking for a hobo hookah. Already got travel pipes. This one needs more style.

Hobocans Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 HoboHookah can have a lot of style, if you chose a good vase. Like one of these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboy. A bit of an aside: Liquor bottles really make great vases: They are thick so that they can be tranported with out breaking in large quantities. Unlike hookah vases: If a bottle of booze breaks, its a lot of mess and clean up as well as lost revenue. A few broken hookah vases in a shipment aren't a bit deal: Its more cost effective to make them cheap, and allow for a few to break in transport.I like old school Egyptian vases though. Like the ones you see at most hookah bars. The vases are usually great, but the pipes are a lot of times shit. It might be worth your while to go to a hookah shop, find a vase and gromment that will fit with your old stem (if your old stem was pretty nice).

Boersnoes Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 @ St. Goodypants:Well the Micron and Stratus do indeed meet the reqs, but they are just damn but ugly!I do like a modern design, but that's just .. not it.@HobocansAbout the hobo hookah. You have actually made me think about it again.I have dug up my old initiative of making my own pipe (don't we all at one point or another?) and found this cool vase I have here.It's from my father's work. He's a chemist and the bottle is used for storing all kinds of liquids. The bottle's totally "inert" (word?) so it doesn't take up any smell/filth. It's stable and hard to break too. Thing is, it doesn't have a standard bottle neck.It's bigger then regular booze bottles but smaller then the big necks you find on some fruit juice bottles sometimes.There's a screw on cap on it that fits air/water tight. I wanted to use it before, but the hole's too small to fit any of my stems in..Can't post pictures right now. Cam's not in the house... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
