You're much better off watching some videos on here about how to properly pack a bowl, manage heat, assemble and maintain a hookah, etc. than you are purchasing new gear.

Sherwood Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 You know, considering, Stuie really is right. I have all of those things, and they aid my smoking experience immensely. If everything was stolen, I'd buy all of those again. I might put it all on a QT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd start with Lucid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakhla packs just as big of a buzz as tang, overpowering to me means strong buzz, so if you are saying u don't want something strong, pass on the nakhla.
