Buncha Questions

[indian_villager]

1)Hey there I'm kinda new to the forum but i have been reading all week! Just a question is anyone here familiar with that ebay store caravansari imports? I was looking at their selection of hookahs and I was wondering if they are any good because they are kinda on the cheap. Also I did order some soex from them recently and I'm just waiting on that (they had my favorite flavor BOMBAY PAN MASALA). From their ebay feedback it seems that the hookas are good but I'm wondering if anyone here has some detailed information on it?


2)You guys know where I can find a tangiers phunnel bowl the cheapest (medium or small)? I was looking at MN hookah because they also sell the scalli mod so I could save on shipping if I order from there.

As for my current setup i have a cheapo chinese hookah given to me by my cousin. Would a tangiers bowl even make sense on that contraption? (Currently it is about 17" tall.

Thanks in advance for any and all help

1) yes there good hookahs imo, great starters thats where i got my first one, that thing still smokes great!
2) I got mine from HookahCompany ... its kinda a standard price.

and the funnel can help any hookah but it will do wonders on your new one.

The thing is I don't exactly have the 60 to shell on this quite yet. But thanks for the info. Now you said they are great starters. Does that mean they are inferior in any way? If so what are the downfalls?

the problem with some sites is that they dont provide proper descriptions of what metals the stems are made from. for example some people like brass and others like steel.
what he prolly meant by starter is that its something you can use to practice on before you make a big investment.
if i may, i would suggest going with something like a Mya bambino or Mya QT over something from the ebay site. they are great little hitters and they are durable. once you know youll stick with hookah you can make a more sound (and expensive) investment.

i got a med and large phunnel from mn hookah when they first came out. ive heard that the sizes have been changed since then though.

That is an example of one I'm looking at. It seems to be sturdy and the shaft according to the description is made of stainless steel. I'm not into hookah to the point of purchasing a 100+ dollar apparatus. I just want something I can use amongst friends.

looks like a mya knockoff which would worry me a bit. but really for 40 bucks you cant argue that.
