Citizen_Insane Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I currently own 2 hookahs but neither is a great model. One is a plastic cheapo 3 hose, and the other is a glass base 2 hose. My problem is that both have broken in the middle where the stem attaches to the base. When trying to clean the hookah, I tried unscrewing the stem and it tore. Now, as a mechanical engineering student, I know this shouldn't happen. In both cases they used either cheap brass, mild steel, or aluminum for the threaded stem and that is a big no-no.I was wondering if there were any companies you knew of that used real stainless steel or some other mid grade steel that was not completely soft. I'm not looking to spend more than $100, but I'd still like something nice. I guess if such a thing doesn't exist, I'll just have to build my own hookah, but with school and all, that won't be possible for a couple of months.Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjdx88 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Check out devils playground or Hookah-shisha IMHO stay away from the Egyptians if your looking for steel at HS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
