yashman19 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Hey guys. This thread was created due to Apoc's thread asking where people can find that ceramic bowl that comes with a snap on windcover and a great screen. Well look no further... [url="http://stores.ebay.com/Taqseem"]http://stores.ebay.com/Taqseem[/url] The same bowl being sold at hookah-shisha.com for 15.95 can be had for 5 BUCKS from Sammer's Ebay store Taqseem. I nearly poo'd myself when I saw the price... Thinking about picking up a couple for that price Cheers everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooka_Master Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Hey, I just checked out the bowl: it's awsome! But I have a little problem. I'm from italy so i asked if they shipped here: unfortunately they dont. Now, i have a BIG favour to ask you guys. If i have the bowl shipped to one of you, would you send it to me via USPS? Of course i'll pay you the shipping cost. Is Paypal ok? I really love this bowl so please PM me or answer here. THANKS!! P.S. Anyone that already has it can you tell me if it fits egyptian hookahs?

Jonny Haze Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 That's the bowl that came with my hookah, but mine did not come with a cover. Is the wind cover sold seprate or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the wind cover sold seprate or what?[/quote]Negative, because there is no real easy way to take this contration off of the bowl. Its sort of attached on, not something that can easily be taken off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahDuck Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 another benefit which would seem to be would that one would require less coal. With the cover that close to the coal itself, that thing is going to do some serious heat insulation.I may pick one of these up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmexx Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Isn't it considered a "chinese" bowl?I have one, which came with my ice torrent, and I hate it. The reason why I don't like it is because it NEVER sits well on any of my hookahs, be it egyptian, syrian, or even my chinese hookah.Gah... it's that grommet that gets too soft and the head starts to slip offJon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gah... it's that grommet that gets too soft and the head starts to slip off Jon[/quote] The only time I have problems with my chinese ceramic bowl staying on is when I'm smoking really fresh, extra juicy Al Fahker... The juices start dripping down the bowl and onto the grommet, causing it to come loose. Last time this happened, I looked up at the bowl and it was at a serious tilt, almost falling completely off the hookah. Luckily I caught it, switched it to a dry grommet, and everything was fine.. If grommets aren't working for you, you gotta try the damp paper towel strips...Back in the day, this is all I used, and it worked the best..

djnick Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 i bought 2, i live in ca so i should get them soon, will comment on how the screen/cover work. Im not expecting any miracles though but for $5 i can afford it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djnick Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 i got mine yesterday! they are pretty nice, definatly not worth the $15 + shipping from hookahshisha, but a good price at $5 + $5 shipping at taqseem. the bowls seem nice, although ive seen better quality, they screen is pretty cool, has different size holes, but there arent holes everywhere, theres some patchy spots. i will have to try it and report back but so far so good!

mushrat Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I got my 2.. Though one is going out to Hookah Master. I noticed the screens were in upside down when I got them. Also you need to rotate the screen tab to the side instead of straight out to be latched or when you lift the cover, it will pull the screen up with it. Other than that the screens on min eare fully punched. I do have one peeve though. I bought 2, they discounted the shipping on the second one from 4.99 to 3.99. When I got them it was simple 2 boxes taped together, and the TOTAL postage was $4.05. This means the total postage was less than what was charged to send only 1. Not nice...

ApoC Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 hmm, tried it with one coal and it sucked, definitely too many holes for single coal work i think, even with the lid closed. should smoke well with 2 coals, but I like my gunmetal teardrop cover more, and 2 covers seems to make the smoke too hot and bad, will try again tomorrow.

TaqseemHookahs Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 [b]mushrat, we are charging $10 less then everyone else. Notice the simple shipping you paid is not only to ship the item from the mail office to your house. It is shipping and handling. What about our time, packaging material and the employees we have to pay. Because of this I will increase the price on those bowls. It is already not worth it our time but we are still selling them cheap to serve you all well. And still complaining.[/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djnick Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 taqseem you should keep it at the $5 price, it is fine, as you can see from the buy history you have been selling them well. i will probably pickup a few more later but if the price goes up might as well buy it from anywhere else that sells them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApoC Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 id raise the price if i were him too, even at 10 or more a bowl its still the cheapest out there, turning some proffit is good for his business, and I'm very glad to see how well he's doing with his business!

mushrat Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Taqseem: It didn't take any MORE effort to tape 2 boxes together and mail them than it took to mail 1 box. So your "extra" effort to send the second bowl is B.S. I'll take it over to the post office, but i'm going to bet that sending the one bowl would STILL have cost $4.05..but I'll check. If thats the case, then you were willing to make the extra .94 on one for your "handleing" the extra $3.99 for the second is just gravy. And a DEAL isn't a DEAL if you just make up for your low price somewhere else in the transaction. I don't believe for a second you are LOOSING money even selling them for 5 bucks..no one sells for a loss no matter now nice they make them selves sound, so don't give me that crap either. You chose to sell them at a lower price, its a price you are offering EVERYONE in the world, not just us here, so it has to be worth your while. It's not like you were doing US any special favors. If I was a business who purchased them from you for resale, I'd be pissed as hell that you were undercutting me on Ebay. But i'm not so thats a moot point. You want to use me as an excuse to raise your prices that cool. I got mine! Most people here got theirs already as well I'd bet. But hey, as long as you are taking my word on how to run your business..I have a few other suggestions... And if you don't like us discussing our experiences with companies openly in this forum, you know what you can do about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaqseemHookahs Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 [b]mushrat, If I was selling this price to everyone in the world like you are saying, I would have listed those bowls on eBay. But we are not. We simply have them in the store only. For your information, that bowl is $6.99 and UP wholesale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
