Shisha:
Getting loads of Tangiers, Al Fakher, and Starbuzz. Is there a way to see what flavors they have in stock? I'm getting tons of shisha, and I just don't want to order all of it and just have my new Hookah with zero shisha to smoke.

Coals:
Japanese Style Silver Coals
Al Fakher Coconut Coals

Other:
Small Tangiers Funnel Bowl
Hookah Hose Gasket


Opinions? I'm a 50% newbie when it comes to this stuff. Though, I think I have a really good idea on how to go about things just from browsing this forum everyday for the past 3 weeks or so. Thanks!

Looks like a good order to me.

I'd get the tri-metal hands down, such a beautiful stem. I'd also get coconara's instead of AF coals, haven't tried the AF ones myself but I love coconara's.

Yeah, I've heard people talk about both. I might swap the AF coals for the Nara's.

Either KM will be fine. A lot of people here have the hafa and love it and a lot of people have the tri metal and love it. Can't go wrong with either one.

Cool Thanks!

Also, anyone know how long it's going to take the order to get to my place? They ship this stuff from the US, right?

I'm planning a big order myself, I agree with you on the loads of tangiers, but I just haven't been able to like starbuzz very much. I can get decent clouds and sometimes good flavor, but zero buzz and like I said, only decent clouds. I like the tangiers, helps relax me after a day at work. I should get my tax refund any time now and I'm gonna order! Good idea on the small funnel, but I'm not sure about the coals, have you tried coconaras? I love em, I'm out right now and really miss them, gonna load up again with my next order. I find the silver jap coals just ash way too much and it's a heavy thick ash. I'll have to check out the AF coconut coals, those sound like a good idea! Enjoy the new hookah.

HC is out of california so it should be pretty quick. If you want something really fast I know that hookah-shisha ships out of Texas, but they don't carry KM's. HookahJohn is also out of CA and he carries KM's, I heard he has crazy fast shipping.

Great hookah choices! I'm considering the Al Bakr or the Al Gia as my next hookah purchase.

I've heard great things about the tri-metal stems so it should smoke like a champ.

I would definitely switch out the AF coals for Coco's. If you're set on Starbuzz, I would recommend Safari Melon Dew or Blue Mist, those are the only two flavors I have really liked from them. For Tangiers, pick up some Peach Iced Tea, Passion fruit, Kashmir Peach, and some Sour. For Lucid Tangiers, just buy 500g of Tasty peach--this stuff is amazing--, and some Kashmir Cherry.

For AF shisha, gotta have mint and honey. For AF's golden line, buy about 500g of Esk. Apple (It's a sour apple that is amazing!), and I really enjoyed Golden Strawberry (very much like cotton candy but really nice).

Hope this helps you pick out some good flavors to try!

[Bye bye now have fun]

drop the starbuzz its a waste of money

I'd go with the second one and switch your jap coals for some natural coco's or exoticas.
Starbuzz is fine if you got the money for it, its great flavor and good clouds people just dont like the price of it. And if your smoking more than an hour of it it loses the taste.

I'd go with the tri metal km it looks amazing and it's a bit smaller so it would be easier to maintain. As for shisha you gotta have af mint, watermelon, double apple, and orange. As for tangiers go with og horchata, orange soda, snozzberry, pink grape fruit, melon blend, blueberry, peach iced tea, or lemon blossow all great flavors. As for starbuzz if you can afford it cause it's steep in price I'd go with blue mist or ivory coast.u

I would have went with CH instant lights. They ash like crazy and don't last as long as cocos, but they are easy to light and are still natural so they don't taste like shit. Lol, I had to laugh when you said you were getting TONS of shisha and went with 1 kilo worth. There was a thread awhile back when a ton of people posted their stashes. I think most people who posted had like 4-5 kilos or so. I think the top was like 15 maybe? I know someone posted a pictured of their stash that filled up their ENTIRE counter. Not trying to get you down, just find it funny what "a lot" means to newbies compared to people who have been smoking a long time. I don't have room to talk though, been smoking 5-6 months and my order I am placing today or tomorrow will only be like 1.5-2 kilos.

I hear ya. I'm just used to having a couple boxes of 50g of crappy shisha laying around. I've never had this much at one time.

I'm super excited!

If you include the hookah bars I have been smoking since I was 18 and would call a kilo a lot myself still . Some of us feel like a few bowls a week is a lot!!! I'll have about a kilo soon (maybe less debating killing my order down a bit after car accident for money reasons) but fully expect that to last me... well a VERY long time And yes guys I haven't made that order yet, bigger stuff going on- potentially heading to court over this car accident .
