Fun With Numbers


Recommended Posts

So today I am kinda bored at work, slow day. I decided to have some fun with math! I calculated the price per gram of some shisha calculating in different sizes and different vendors. I know I am a nerd. But here it goes!

Shisha Tobacco Averaging:

0.10 USD per Gram
Fumari
Potion

0.08 USD per Gram
Romman
Starbuzz

0.07 USD per Gram
Fantasia
King Moassel
Smiley's
Tonic

0.06 USD per Gram
Al Amir
Fusion
Hookah Freak

0.05 USD per Gram
Al Ajamy
Al Fakher
Havana
Tangiers

0.04 USD per Gram
Hookah Hookah
Layalina
Pharaoh's

0.03 USD per Gram
Al Sultan
Al Waha
Crystal
Nakhla
Sahara

This is just averages. Price will vary from Vendor to Vendor and between size to size.

Just did this for fun, no real reason for doing it, so have a look mock my nerdiness, whatever. Just thought it would be fun to do.

wow, I guess this will help me?


Maybe, if you are on a budget for shisha? Like I said, I was bored! Smoke what you like and to heck with the price, that's what I do.

Havana at Hookah-life costs $.0198 per gram. Wow, how low can you go? laugh.gif


That's one retailer out several. I didn't factor HL in, just forgot about it. But I mean 250 will be cheaper per gram than 50g, and kilo will be even more cheaper than 250.

I personally haven't been a big fan of havana. Edited by Stuie

iamscott06Posted Today, 12:55 PM Wow I would have thought Smileys would have been at the top of the list.. shits expensive!

Smiley's must have been calculated from our site at that price.. The problem with that is they were raising the price to like 20.00 for 100 grams, it was something ridiculous like that.. No vendors bought it again.. Edited by MNH

yeah if you want a real eye opener you need to find the whole smiley fiasco when he started using OPD as his shipper. The price was like 7-8 dollars for a 15 gram shot, unrealistic prices. His rep basically hit the ocean of S*it after that, no way to recover from that one.

maybe potion could drop the price a little bit by getting rid of the coals and the foil?
didn't use them anyway.


+1 I agree, maybe if they were coconaras or exoticas I would use them.

i thought tangiers was a lot higher. What website are you looking these off of? These are Retail right?


I factored in all sizes on a few sites, like MNH, HS, HH, SS, and HC. Just to kind of get a feel. Like I said this isn't definitative, just representative of some of the major sites to give you an idea on prices.

I did, you are the only place left I can even find it. Never tried it because the concensus seems to be that it is over rated!

if you can get the stuff to smoke with the coals it comes with, then *high five* to you


Double high five! I had those coals on for like 5 minutes before I switched em with exoticas.

They just dont give off enough heat in my opinion.
