ghelyan Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 (edited) I've been smoking hookah for a good 2 years and I'm now looking to buy my first hookah. Money is no issue for me; I would pay up to $250 altogether. I just want to have the best that there is. I want something 30+" and really nice looking.I've been looking at HS and HC but couldn't find anything as gorgeous-looking as this one that I found on eBay. But the eBay listing doesn't say much about the specifics. I was hoping maybe some of you pros could tell me what brand this is, how real it is, and wether it's just pretty-looking or its performance is top notch as well.http://cgi.ebay.ca/38-1-LUXURY-Hose-BRASS-...bayphotohostingbtw this is my first post here great forum Edited April 29, 2008 by ghelyan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victim026 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Totally agree, no ebay hookah is worth the money.... Check out MyaSaray.com if money isn't an object and you want a beautiful hookah specifically there crystal hookahs. The best smoke hands down will either be a Khalil Mamoun or Magdy Zidan though....

Voski Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 If money is no issue buy a meduse hookah. But I wouldnt buy that one on ebay. No point in spending over $100 on a pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Ebay tends to overprice shitty pipes. Not worth it. If you find the right retailer, you can get a better pipe for even cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anxiety Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 the reason why that hookah smeems so pricey is just because of the gold....i guess if u want a show hookah than go for it but imo get a km...their cheap, reliable and kick amazingly.

Is it the authenticity?You have the audacity to question the verdict of the oracle? Pitiful mortal...Seriously though, $200 for a pipe on e-Bay is like sodomy with no lube. Take the advice and get a KM + tobacco + washable hose + coal for that amount of money. One of the reasons is that if you get a shoddy pipe (likely) or if there is anything wrong with it the seller will most likely not stand behind his/her product. Ordering from a trusted online vendor gets you peace of mind, prompt delivery, and lower prices. I really don't know why anyone would buy the aforementioned item.

waterboi Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I say it is a nice hookah and Caravan Imports is one of the only reputable ebay vendors. Is it what you want? That is all that matters. Big plus that it is a brass hookah. There is cheaper hookahs, but if that is what you want, i say get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shisha fan Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 i like the looks of it, but $200 is too much money in my opinion. a magdy zidan or khalil mamoon is cheaper and a safe bet. not to mention that these things probably sell for $35 in egypt.

I got a package deal with Rolland coals and Soex shisha . If I knew then what I know now I would have either just bought the hookah by itself or gone with a KM (which I will be doing eventually).

mushrat Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 The vendor is quite reliable. as soemone said, one of the few on Ebay you can trust. It's a nice hookah and I'll wager the quality is good. It's a beautiful hookah. If you think it's worth it then get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkonjunk Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I got an amazing 4hose hookah on ebay for about 70 bucks. The hoses are a tad shitty, but everything else is solid as a rock. It was a steal, and I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emachine Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) THe paint on those things arent that great, I just recently bought a 22" from caravanasari two weeks ago. The seller is VERY PROFESSIONAL. I called them up after I bought the wrong hookah and he changed everything up in about five mins, took down my 6 flavor choices for the soex shisha, and even gave me a $5 discount on the new price.. then shipped it the following monday (I called them on friday)That's a huge hookah man Edited April 30, 2008 by emachine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I have a hookah exactly like that, and if you are set on buying it the first thing you should do is replace that awful hose. It will rust even without being in water after a few uses. Don't forget that these folks have to add in the cost of the container and a bit of profit to each hookah, so the price might not be too unreasonable.
