crisbeatz Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 (edited) So I was cleaning my cheap little "My First Hookah" today and I found some rust starting it journey throughout my downstream. First thought was "Aw Shit!" but then I realised that I had to buy a new one! I feel great to have to retire my hoopty hookah and purchase something nice. Of course it won't be the best but it will be made of solid materials and worth every penny I spend on it. Thank you rust, you made my day.

mushrat Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 heh, i was thinking this was going to be like describing my old truck...the rust is the only thing holding parts of it together... But sometimes like you said, it helps you decide its time to go out with the old and in with the new.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venzor Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I'm not sure if it's rust or what, but my first hookah is nearing its decommission I fear. I have to agree, it's unfortunate, but an exciting opportunity as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuie Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 (edited) I agree. My cobra heads started falling apart, rusted out, and now that I switched to Nammors I am happy! ! ! Edited April 2, 2008 by Stuie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinkyfisherman Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 My old hookah did that to me too. Then I deiced to step it up and spend some money and get a hookah that would last. Hope you find something great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seefoodlover Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Hate to ruin your day but, you can take a blow torch or something, and cut off the rusted part. For some of you I may have made your day . But if you LIKE your hookah, and you want to keep using it, just cut off the rusted part and fill the vase up more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crisbeatz Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 I'm still not sure what I want to get yet. My friend that introduced me to hookah has another friend who says I can buy it from him for wholsale price. he has a few to pick from but I haven't seen them yet. Hopefully badass though. I'll post some pics when I get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
