Id My Hookah?


Recommended Posts

So I doubt it is any name brand thing, we did pay a good $70 probably but before I had any idea there were "differences" and whatnot hah! Anyone ID it for style or even a brand type or clone etc? That isn't the hose it came with, it is a dual hose but our hoses were getting lots of sawdust so I replaced them both with 1 I bought at a local shop, plugged the other side with a grocery bag lol.

EDIT: It also used to have these fancy little triangle things (they were like rings connected but cheap plastic) hanging off each "side" (4 of them) of the tray... but the other guy who went halfsies with me hated them and tore them off lol.

it looks good, no idea what it is, who from ebay did you buy it? was it caravansarai or an independant seller?


I think it was Caravansarai that sounds right. I would have to double check, I wouldn't recommend them at all though. They don't know how to use e-mail apparently. I tried to contact them about the sawdust coming out the hose and never got replies, unfortunately I gave them enough time that I was unable to give them a bad rating mellow.gif. It has been a good hookah, and was a decent price... but still.

If it's the yellow hose in the picture, you should replace it anyways. Looks narrow as hell.

sawdust happens on wood core mouthpieces...just get a thin brush (like a Camelbak tube cleaning brush) and ream it out for a while....that will get the bulk of the sawdust out. That brush is also great for scrubbing out hoses.

I reccomend getting a Camelbak cleaning kit anyways, the brushes are ideal for hookahs (un-bend the bladder brush, and you have a superb vase brush). http://www.amazon.com/CamelBak-Cleaning-Ki...s/dp/B0019DICLQ Edited by mustang_steve

We couldn't figure out initially what it was that was coming out of the hose. Now I just blast my air compressor through the hose before every smoke and the problems are gone!

That works too, but I think the scrubbing works a bit better myself....although it takes longer. The problem with the camelback brush is the fibers on the brush are really soft (they were made to clean vinyl tubing, not wood)....but it's a flex type brush, so it goes in and out real easy.

Looks like one of those "kemo" hookahs

Similar but the vase is quite different and the tray is also very different, hard to tell from this angle but the part between the tray and vase looks smaller too (the round silver part). However the paint job is pretty similar and the hoses are also very similar.
