antouwan Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 thats good to know they fixed the downstem issue, the old pipes looked really awk with such a short stem. that pipe looks hella nice...DAMN YOU after my KM zakiy i thought i would be done for a while with buying new pipes....you may have changed all of this...

Giant Ninja Robot Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 WEELLLLLL, I went out to my fav local shop to pick up a nour that I fell in love with and they had sold it I was very sad.That is untill I saw the Al Fakher pipes that they carried and remembered the guy saying he'd sell me the 35 inch model for 100 bucks.I told him a friend (that's you China) just recently bought one online and he scoffed asking "How much did he pay? Probably about 150 or so... I'll sell it to you for 85 if you show him how little I gave it to you for so you can say "HA!" " What a neat guy.ANYHOW I ended up getting the same pipe homey, just a few inches taller, the downstem looks fine although shorter than yours so I'll have to wait till I can smoke it 25 more pounds from now to see...OH I almost forgot. IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! Online pictures don't do it justice. Looking foward to your review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SloppyJoe Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I am so about to order one of these. Not sure yet from where. Anyone have any suggestions? I know hookahjohn has them but he can't ship anything until the 17th or something like that. I also know al fahker website has them. Anywhere else anyone would recommend?

Sonthert Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Best damn hookahs out there.Bravo Al Fakher! It takes a real commitment to quality to go against the grain of shlocky crap that's going steadily downhill and bring a truly superior piece of equipment in for people to buy at a fair price. Well played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well played.Its a pretty damn nice hookah. Despite my lule issues with Al Fakhr, its a gorgeous pipe and pulls well.In relation to the above poster, it seems a few people on this forum agree alfakheronline.com is actually NOT the best place to order it online.Use a trusted vendor...like the ones on this thread:http://www.hookahforum.com/?showtopic=11438(a lot of people have also had success with alfakheronline, so who knows).So I have one complaint..I'm wondering if others have had this happen, between the jar and the larger grommet for the stem, the grommet gets INCREDIBLY stuck post-session, to where I'm utilizing intense leverage ON the stem hose-piece...I'm worried about breakage.Sometimes I'll work on it for an entire four minutes of twisting to get those suckers separated...I'm unsure what to do.

Sonthert Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Its much easier to wet the tip of your finger in sheesha juice and rub it around the gasket. Glycerine has been used in chemistry labs for years as a lubricant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
