Cicada Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 just picked it up today from my local smoke shop -- i had him order it for me -- it'll replace my egyptian style 2-hose hookah -- ill probably still keep it for friends and the stargate will be my personal first impressions: this thing is SOLID -- everything! nice thick acrylic base and all parts are ridiculously heavy compared ot other hookahs -- first thing i noticed was the tray which was very heavy -- i love the 3-piece screw-together design so it doesnt leak, and makes it much easier to clean and maintain [i havent smoked out of it yet, but ive had other screw-assembly type hookahs] I also picked up some golden fakher green apple and grape as well as some havana cappucino and lime i think ill try the green apple and will report back onto the pics: [url="http://imageshack.us"][img]http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/8264/dsc61960nu.jpg[/img] [img]http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/7839/dsc61987cm.jpg[/img] [img]http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/9798/dsc61999xv.jpg[/img][/url] on a side note, has anyone heard of "Safa-Lite" Coals? tehy're german supposedly -- i picked up a box today because i usually use the Quick-Light Golden Coals from holland...the safa-light coals are huge! 40mm; ill try some as well and report back.

Cicada Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 quick report; the new coals have a very strong flavour that ruined it, pretty much i ended up going back to the golden coals and am now smoking golden fakher grape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seandoo Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I wonder if it's the same company that made the Saet Safa double apple I've tried. It wasn't that great, mostly tasted like coal. Coincidence..?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicada Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 [quote name='Seandoo']Coincidence..??[/quote] i think not! so nara nara is closed, eh? i never knew -- i never got a chance to check out the place i used to frequent the spectrum a lot when i had friends that lived there [i still do, but ive been busy iwth school and such -- im form Palm Springs, but I goto school in San Bernardino/Riverside, so im out in Newport/Costa Mesa/Irvine a lot] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pavlakos_politakos Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 i would by a stargate from a local store on 5th ave(in bklyn) but am skeptical of their authenticity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy i bought it from is really reputable, and the shipping box it came in had "Taqseem Brand" stickers all over it [he sells the cases separately, i guess] -- im assuming he gets all of his stargate hookahs from taqseem or else he wouldnt have boxes with taqseem stickers all over them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
