Hookah In Vietnam: Habibi


Recommended Posts

Got back from Vietnam a few weeks back, had some fun in downtown and found a hookah bar on Google.

Interesting points:
-KM knockoff, or a old model? Dunno, maybe you guys can identify it..feels like a knockoff..they get them from Singapore
-Japanese "style" coals, almost no ash, very cool, I couldn't get a picture / video of the box they order in bulk, also from Singapore
-Shisha crapped out after 15-20 minutes, higher nicotine though, got my friend all buzzed
-They wrap the Entire bowl in another layer of foil, with an additional "lip" of foil going ~1/2" above the bowl to keep the foil on
-Fun times, our escort, highly traditional, was scared shitless. Fun times.

Enjoy (cussing in the video FYI)

(from another friend who had been to Vietnam for a week stated she saw tons of hookah shops and bars, but, we weren't in "disctrict 1," the more touristy area too often, and so this was the only bar I saw)

Interesting little wind cover/ridge thing they did with the foil--kept the coals hot I guess?

Was 2 coals too much heat for that bowl size?

Very neat video!


Thx for the comments biggrin.gif

Well, the first bowl I left the ridge alone, and when it started getting harsh I just stood one of the coals on its thinner edge. But the smoke thinned out a LOT...but laying down two coals = crappy harshness, so the shisha was a poorer quality.

I requested three coals the next time, laying down that funny little ridge, and we probably got an extra 10 minutes out of it by moving the Three coals to the edges, then when it start getting too hot, I'd remove a full coal, and edge one of the remaining two towards the center.

The ridge was kinda interesting, I DID fail to mention that the bowl wasn't sealed to the stem..rattled around a lot.

Nice video, and it does appear to be a authentic KM, a chiller stem with a Amer base perhaps?


As I said in the video I have never smoked on a KM, but the thing pulled SO easily I imagined it to be a KM. Stem felt medium heavy (I have my big ol 36" AF Solid, which was heavier then the hookah at the bar).

Good times.

Tangiers expansion into Vietnam baby! If I move their, ill make it happen muahah

Awesome vid man. Very funny, "I was expecting it to taste like ass." I like your foil rant as well. $15-20 sounds like a really good price since you got the drinks with it. If the bowl wasn't a phunnel, was it just a regular clay?

That KM is legit, It's similar to the Kafae. I know brad has the same exact model as the one in the video too.

I'll be sure to go if I'm ever hanging out in Vietnam. biggrin.gif

Regular clay biggrin.gif

I'm not vietnamese, the chick smoking is my friend I was running around with in Vietnam for 2 weeks.

15-20 is actually pretty damn expensive in Vietnam, just not in downtown.


edit: I was gonna try to sneak a QT over to Vietname so I could smoke (not necessarily naked, mebe shirtless) in the "countryside" where I was for day and a half...GORGEOUS over their, I recommend a trip with a good translator. Edited by redjako

ooooh
you kept referring to one of the chicks your "cousin" in the video if i remember correctly and that got me confused.
Isn't it humid as hell over there in Vietnam?(Gives you more of a reason to run around butt-naked and be one with nature)
One of my friend's lil' sister got a nose bleed the second she stepped out of the plane when they went to Vietnam
