probably not.

[LiveRadical]

i mean medical grade aluminum in witch mold can't grow

hahahahaha

[Bulldog_916]

Actually, yea, if I had the money for it, sure. But you make me the perfect hookah and I'll show you a forum (this one) that can break that shit down and send it back to you to get improved. You need serious testing on all of this, long term testing. Like months of daily testing under all kinds of conditions.

[Canon]

nope, why spend 300 when you can spend 100?

[AKammenzind]

I think for most people 200 would be the max. Myself I'm a cheap bastard, and would only spend $200 if it came with a phunnel (or some other interesting sort of bowl), a very sturdy base, and a matching hose with a wide ID that is completely washable and ruggedly built.

[joelhookah]

I would totally go for it. BUT for $300 I want a hellacious warranty. At least 5 years. And I want it to smoke equally as well if not better than a good Mya/KM/MZ and yes the hose needs to have a wide ID and needs to be fully washable.

[Zinite]

I would if it smoked better than a Mya/KM. I'd want 30+ inches, huge base to prevent it from tipping over. Easy to disassemble, clean, 5 year warranty, amazing bowl included.

i honestly have never heard of medical grade aluminum, in fact i dont know of any medical item that is aluminum

also to keep it from growing anything aluminum wont stop that you would have to use silver

all that aside, maybe, 300 is steep but if it was the perfect hookah i may

why wouldnt you want aluminum, if you anodize it well you probably wouldnt even need to brush out the stem just rinse and push a cloth through to wipe

My KMs handle business like no other.

I pass

[Majid]

If it performed excellently and it was very very durable as well as looked good, i would spend about 200-250 on it. But like joelhookah said, a warranty would be a must. Also i would expect a great hose and bowl or two to come with it.

[hookah hippie]

Only if it was better then my beloved KMs

[liquidglass]

while it 'sounds' like a good idea I spent $55 on my 32" KM (majestic) $18 on a Nammor (washable) hose and $12 on a med. phunnel bowl.


So let's see

Total spent: $85 = a kick ass set up that feels like breathing flavored air in (literally breathing normally, you don't even have to pull),and breathing clouds upon clouds of smoke out.



I did have a base break but it was from age/temp change rather than tipping over. So add $3 to that for gorilla glue to fix it back to it's awesome self and that's all I've spent on my awesome set up.


Unless you were able to make a hookah that would pretty much never get dirty, impossible to tip over, could take temp changes like no other, and a little lock in mech for the hose optional would be awesome, then i might consider buying it MIGHT.


If I were you i'd start off small with bases made not to tip over and stems with built in diffusers. even then I don't know if I'd like a built in diffuser because I like to scrub both ends of the stem.

[Hippo_Master]

Can it clone models of hot actresses?

[wiggle]

little lock in mech for the hose optional would be awesome

what's lock in mech?

[AKammenzind]

He probably means a mechanism to lock the hose in place in the port.

[mattathayde]

honestly the only way some one would pay that much i think would be if it was hand made here in the states by a very skilled artist, not this bs "hand made" that is just mass produced, the thing would have to be flawless with a nice well blown base, and a very well crafted stem from very high quality materials

[erufiku]

Can it clone models of hot actresses?

dude, for that price it better brew beer and distil whiskey as well as clone hot models

to answer the original question: not unless I win the lottery, and even then I would sleep on it first. Edited October 6, 2008 by erufiku

[noca$h]

I take your 300 clams.




And go on a shisha shopping spree!
MWAHAHAHAHAHA

[Capt. Morgan]

I'd just as soon buy an MZ, phunnel bowl, nammor/razan hose, then whatevers is left of the $300 on coals and shisha.

[jezter6]

Yeah $300 for a hookah is just plain crazy when you can get quality hookahs under $100.

[Giant Ninja Robot]

Show me a unique piece that has all the practical improvements already listed that is truly handcrafted by the same hands all the way through, and made to my exact specifications and yeah I'd do it if I had the money.

It would have to be a similar experience to getting ink done though, a collaboration on a unique and individual piece with high quality standards being upheld through the whole process.

You think Gargamel would try to smoke a smurf if he had a hookah?
