Stuie Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 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 GramFumariPotion0.08 USD per GramRommanStarbuzz0.07 USD per GramFantasiaKing MoasselSmiley'sTonic0.06 USD per GramAl Amir FusionHookah Freak0.05 USD per GramAl AjamyAl FakherHavanaTangiers0.04 USD per GramHookah HookahLayalinaPharaoh's0.03 USD per GramAl SultanAl WahaCrystalNakhlaSaharaThis 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, how low can you go? 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.

MNH Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 (edited) 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..

Shifty Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
