bassman65 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Ok, so I'm thinking about placing my first BIG order of shisha (I've only had my own hookah for about 2 months). If I can manage to get the wholesale prices, I was thinking of going crazy and getting 1.75 kilos of AF/Layalina, most of which can be mixed nicely. However, I smoke only 1 bowl 3-5 times a week (depending on my workload). So, thats an average of 80 g a week, meaning this order would last me 21 weeks, or until August about (or more if I decide to order some 50g packs at some point to spice things up). I plan on storing these in ziplocks within glad containers, however, I'm still concerned whether the shisha would stay fresh this long.I'm aware that shisha has printed expiration dates, but I'm just looking for a general answer. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassman65 Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 (edited) Hah looks like applesauce. You wouldn't live in NJ by any chance? Because I know thats almost all they sell by Rutgers.Oh and 2$ for 50g? Very nice. Edited March 12, 2008 by bassman65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alle Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Those are 50g? Seriously? The package fits one bowl. And nope, I'm in Kansas. That is the only kind I can find, aside from the larger packets. I am trying to find a flavor I abosloutly LOVE before I invest in a very large quantity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchell8621 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Haha, half phunnel size... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkel! Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 nah those are 15 G shots not 50g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alle Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Wichita ATM. I was up at Manhattan the other weekend. Thats actually where I smoked my first hookah!So, I guess I have a 15 g bowl then. I saw some bigger bowls today when I went to the place where I get my hookah stuff.Don't mean to hijack the thread, but are all bowl sizes universal?

mitchell8621 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 (edited) there are many different sizes and styles of bowls, from the traditional to the super chief to the phunnel...some bowls can only hold around 10-15 grams, where as I had a "party bowl" that could house 250 grams...

bassman65 Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 Ah I assumed 50g, never seen anything smaller sold. Hah, thats pretty cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alle Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I know some can hold more (party bowl sounds like a TON of fun). What I ment to say was, are they all the same size? Like, will your bowl from your kickass hookah, fit my crappy cheap 2 hoser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canon Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 yes, bowls are interchangeable for the most part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchell8621 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 They make different grommets that will make most any bowl fit on most any hookah...paper towels, electerical tape, etc...will make any bowl fit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff_T Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Only discrepancy with a bowl would be if it was a syrian style with the male end, instead of normal female end. They are not very common and easy to spot though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majid Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 What i do is store the bulk in a larger container, then store a smaller amount for me to use on a daily basis in smaller container, filling it up from the larger one when it runs out. This way you don't have to open and touch the bulk of your shisha as often, wich will keep it fresh longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfaltous Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Since this thread got way off topic... Any shisha you buy should last you much longer than you plan on keeping it for... just make sure you store it in a cool, dry place (i.e. a cupboard) and inside some sort of airtight container, be it ziplock bags or tupperwares. I find that glad/ziplock throwaway tupperwares are ideal, the "Small" round ones. You can get a 5-pack of these from grocery stores for a few bucks.FYI though, 1.75kg is far from being a "big" or "crazy" order by most vendor standards, so you'll probably have a hard time getting wholesale prices. However, a lot of places offer package deals (although I've never seen any for AF/Layalina) and a lot of the online vendors have forum discounts of up to 15% off.
