ilikevodka Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I'm looking at buying an acrylic airtight hookah made by a company called Orbit. It looks to be Egyptian, and is 26" tall. All a pretty good deal for $85. My real question being does the air tight system work effectively? I understand the basic idea; a valve seals the stem from flow. Wouldn't the water seal the stem from ambient pressure as long as I'm not applying negative pressure on the water? It seems a little useless to me. Regardless of the airtight system, this seems to be a pretty good deal. Given my objectives for buying a new hookah, this seems like a solid choice.

joytron Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 im not really sure what you mean but a 26" acrylic hookah for $85 seems really expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to find out if anyone has used an orbit hookah before and if there is a noticeable difference. As for the price, for that model of hookah, it's pretty low.It also seems that the stem screws into the vase, providing further seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to be stuck with a hookah with all the wrong parts now (male head, mya hose, leaky stem). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victim026 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Check out gothookahs.com and look at the Magdy Zidan Egyptian hookahs, they have several around the $65 mark which will leave you enough cash to grab a Nammor/Razan hose which will give you a great little setup that prolly blows that acrylic outta the water and meets all the requiremnets listed.

I would pay maybe $50 for that hookah not $85, especially since it's not the real thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquidglass Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 well ilikevodka too bad you didn't come down to visit (at buies creek/Campbell University, NC) and let good ol' uncle james show you how it's done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinite Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Isn't Air Tight Hookah kind of redundant? If you don't have a semi-airtight system (obviously broken when you inhale), you won't get any smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
