Ishilied Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I hope this is the right place to post this - I'm a noob to both the forum and to smoking (period).I bought a hookah about a month ago from smoking-hookah.com called the wild hear hookah with case (it's a mini hookah). On the second use, part of the stem broke off. I krazy glued it back on after trying to simply reinsert it, but I can't blow the smoke out of the other side anymore, and it seems to not be quite so airtight. Any advice?Also: If one can't stand perfume, how can they manage floral flavored shisha? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giant Ninja Robot Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Advice yes, you may not want to hear it though...Unfortunately not all hookahs are made equal and you bought a crappy one. The hookah you purchased is a chinese hookah that is not from a reputable maker and is, I'm guessing, made of stainless steel as opposed to brass. Not a great choice, HOWEVER we all made some of those choices at some point. No biggy.What that does mean with the broken stem taken into account is that you most likely need a new pipe.Assuming you want another small pipe I have only one reccomendation: get a Mya.I have a Mya QT which can be had for about 40 bucks, many have Mya Bambinos which can be found for about 45-50 bucks. They also have a few models that are a bit more expensive.This is the only brand that is partially made in China that is worth a damn. Solid heavy brass, chrome plated, and these suckers smoke very very well. I've gotten sessions from my QT as good as some from my Khalil Mamoon pipes, which are top notch full size egyptian pipes.If you were to choose the QT you also have the option of converting it to a 2 hose pipe by buying a hose adapter and taking off the purge valve replacing it with said adapter.Fire away with any questions.And to the second question:If you dont like floral flavs why smoke them?

I didn't know that the site had had problems - and I love floral flavors, but can't stand perfume. Sorry about the iffy phrasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Ninja Robot Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Gotcha - I like Nakhla Rose and Al Fakher Jasmine which reminds me of Jasmine tea.Tangiers makes a Marigold flavor that I recall someone tried and reported was very good.There are TONS of good non-fruit flavors out there, but not many floral ones. Also you could try Kashmir from Tangiers.BTW welcome to the forum yo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that it was cute, and it fit nicely into my budget. I've been looking through the Kalil Mamoon's, and I like them, but can't currently afford the ones I like (being the epitome of the starving college student).I love floral flavs, I hate floral scents. It bemuses me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delSol_si Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Just to let you know, my first hookah I bought was a chinese POS off eBay. Smoked so horribly that I gave it away and quit smoking hookah for a couple years. My current roommate bought one that smoked really well, which led me to this site and then I ordered KM and am in love with hookah now. That is why I hate it when new smokers buy POS chinese bullshit...it completely turns them away from smoking hookah and they never really get the great experience.The chinese one I bought was like 20" $40 and the KM ice was 32" $100. The $60 price difference is totally worth it. Those hose also makes a word of difference. Sorry to hear you wasted your money, maybe you can get a refund.

Ishilied Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 I'd forgotten that I had purchased a cute little Mya from http://www.hookah-shisha.com/ - Hopefully it works out.And I need to learn to do some more in depth research before I waste monies - and I think I'm gonna try to get a refund if the second one doesn't work out. I already gave the first to my boyfriend, with the knowledge that it was messed up, so that he could play with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giant Ninja Robot Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 you didnt order a Mya, you ordered another crappy chinese pipe.....good luck I guess lol.If you can cancel the order still I would, and get a QT instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antouwan Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 that is not a mya. http://hookahjohn.com/product.sc?categoryI...mp;productId=59 that (<-) is not just a mya, but a hell of a deal as well. you get a mya qt, which is a pretty dece pipe, plus 150g of tobacco, plus a box of pretty legit coals. AKA pretty much everything you need to have a good session, minus foil.that being said, i would go with a mya bambino (i've never smoked out of one, but apparently they work extremely well and are also the only myas on the planet with a stem that is smooth on the inside = easier cleaning). also, get a different hose, as that mya hose will last you a few months at the longest, and a hose with a wider diameter will give you a better draw. get an original tangiers phunnel too - the small one.

Victim026 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 It doesn't say anywhere on there that it is a MYA, pumpkins are generic chinese junk. And H-S is a reputable dealer who sells authentic MYAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
