Monil Posted February 5, 2006 Author Share Posted February 5, 2006 shishapipe.net is an actual uk retailer and i have used them in the past, when i meant no UK retailers i meant no decent uk retailers. I don't think its decent because they charge £37 ($65) for 250g Al Fakher and so on... overpriced but ok service. Also I don't like the look of any of their hookahs!Hookahs.co.uk is probaby ok but again i dont like their hookahs.Say 12.5lbs for the hookah.

Monil Posted February 5, 2006 Author Share Posted February 5, 2006 Taken the plunge and ordered a 3 hose abyss with 50g romman cocktail & sweet melon along with al fakher cola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Shoulda gone with the romman peach.... So you won't be needing my services? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monil Posted February 5, 2006 Author Share Posted February 5, 2006 Heh I emailed hookah-shisha to see if they can give me peach instead of sweet melon.I will probably need to your services for AF tobacco & the ice tray, I'll let you know as and when Thanks.

HookahCaterpillar Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I bought a 4 hose rotating hookah and had the same exact problem. The holes were so pewny that smoke could not pass through easily. You would use all the lung power you have and get a tiny puff of smoke. From then on I will never buy a hookah online. I always buy hookahs from my hookah bar and I get an insane deal anyways. 40$ gets me a big egyptian style hookah and 2 free packs of tobacco and w/e else the guy feels like throwing in that day. What I suggest for you is buy a hookah that is single hose but can have an adapter for 2 hose that way it can be both singe and double hose. In my experience I have never been satisfied with multiple hose hookahs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monil Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 I've had that problem with the triple hose I bought off eBay, two of the hoses got good hits but the other didn't, too small a hole. The hookah is satisfactory though when just using it for two people.Has anyone bought a multiple hose hookah from hookah-shisha, can they confirm that I'm not gonna have that kinda problem? i.e. too small a hole for one or more of the hoses, if i got that problem i'd be seriously annoyed.Below is the pic of the two hookah's i've bought from ebay. I've ordered a new one (abyss triple hose) from hookah-shisha.com as I previously mentioned. Hopefully I wont have the came problems you had HookahCaterpillar.[img]http://www.monil.net/shisha/Picture%20119.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 You guys gotta learn to size your pictures and PREVIEW your bloody posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monil Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 ah sorry man. Is it me or is there no edit post button? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Nope, no edit button. But there IS a PREVIEW POST button next to the POST REPLY button. This will allow you to see it as it will appear and give you a chance to edit anything wrong BEFORE hitting the POST REPLY button. I ALWAYS use this before posting a picture, just to make sure.

coldfire22x Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 [quote name='Sariél']One thing that is hard to tell from the web pictures, the shaft on the abyss is painted wood, not metal. I was hoping for a nice anodized metal, not a lathed table leg![/quote]i hope i'm not disappointed .. i ordered a 2 hose abyss and the description for it states _nothing_ about the shaft being wooden. in fact, "The black hose is perfectly matched by the tray and shaft which are both made of gun metal black stainless steel," straight from hookah-shisha.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monil Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 Yeah, after I got told here I went on Live chat and confirmed it with them, they told the shaft *IS* wooden. This shouldn't really affect the smoke as its still stainless steel on the outside but it could chip or even burn a lot easier not to mention it's probably weaker so we will have to be careful with it.I just hope it smokes good. Can't wait for it to arrive along with Cola, Grape, Melon & Lemon (Al Fakher) and Cocktail and Peach (Romman) tobacco. If yours arrives before mine (mine was despatched today and has a 1-2 week delivery time) then please tell me how it is as I'm real eager to find out.Anyone else with an Abyss care to shed some light?

coldfire22x Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 mine should be arriving today. i won't get home until late, however ... work until 5:30 and then i have to go get some sutures taken out. if i have a chance to try it out, i'll let you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

methodical13 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 A friend of mine ordered a multi hose rotator from hookah-shisha, and the welds on the stem were terrible. You could see the external weld and it was loose where the hose connects. When he returned it the company said that it USUALLY doesn't happen. So, not to scare you or anything, but just FYI so you know the check the welds and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monil Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 Well, your "not to scare me" post has scared by, I know they'll take it back minus shipping but thats my problem, shipping cost me $70 and would cost quite a bit for a return trip back. Fingers crossed the hookah is all good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
methodical13 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Yea, like i said, you should be fine, but just make sure you check everything before you smoke it. Let us know how it turns out when you get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monil Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 I will do, I'm looking forward to puffing away at some nice Al Fakher in the comfort of my own home. The guys on live chat at hookah-shisha have told me the hit I should be getting on the triple hose is the same as on the single hose, they reckon the holes are all equal in size (lets hope so).
