vetbridge Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Hi everyone. I am a new hookah owner/smoker. Been lurking here, trying to learn, but I couldn't help myself and I went and bought one. Couldn't get it to work, then I figured out the grommet between the stem and vase was leaking big time. So, I ordered one from Hookah-Hookah, but ended up ordering a Sahara, so now I have two.Any words of wisdom on either would be appreciated! Having some trouble placing my images, I'll use photobucket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steemax Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 The Top one looks Amazing!, but i also love the vase of the bottom picture, How well do they smoke if you have tried them yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you are right on as far as the hose! Crappy quality, blobs of glue, looks like it was a kid's kindergarten project. They now smoke fairly nicely, considering that I am trial and erroring all over the place.Anyone have any idea on the first one's origin, etc? I bought it from the Sphinx Cafe in Oakland, and the seller and I did not share a common language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassman65 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 That top one is crazy. I don't think I like it at all, but it sure is original. I always liked those vases on the second one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smidge Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 QUOTE And you are right on as far as the hose! Crappy quality, blobs of glue, looks like it was a kid's kindergarten project.I'll second that, i have the same hose, came with "delilah" hookah from HH. picks up tastes like a magnet and they linger, the glue is abnormally excessive. Just not a good hose at all. As of my first (and last) order from HH i am staying away from them. As for the first hookah i love the stem! The second one, the base looks as it would affect the smoke, does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy1966 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Both are very sweet Hookahs. How is your stem from Sahara Smoke? I did not like mine and I have the same stem as you. Watch out for rust on it. 1 week and it was crap. I still need to find a good stem for my Cyclone from Sahara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I would be interested in where you got the first one. The stem is original looking but i think i might get tired of the flowers. I hope you enjoy the Dicro. If you end up getting a replacement vase I would buy it from another vendor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cartercdad Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 i am totally digging the bottom one. but i do imagine it is hard to get the water level right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vetbridge Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 I purchased the first one from The Sphinx Cafe (Pittsburgh).Sphinx CafeYes, the stem on the second (Sahara) hookah is (to my eyes) the weak link. The vase is nice, the o-rings seem to get a nice seal, but the stem just looks weak. When it was cut during manufacture it was crushed a little.

The flowers on the first one are a bit er... odd looking and not my sort of style but even the base is nice on the first one. But the vase on the second one is definetly awesome IMO.-H&S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
