delSol_si Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) Normally I would just post this in the eBay thread, but I am actually somewhat serious about this hookah. It looks totally badass in my opinion. What do you guys think? It is worth $95 shipped? Man it looks gorgeous to me Edited June 10, 2009 by delSol_si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delSol_si Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 Btw, I don't see this hookah on Al Fakher's website. You think this is authentic or fake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rani Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Pictures like this make me want to start rubbing my hands together and start murmuring 'preciious' under my breath.......'Rani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsboy Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Looks nice but I doubt that it smokes nice. From experience with similar looking ones the air flow is not very smooth and alot of stale smoke stays inside.I can be wrong but if you look at the place above the vase, that compartment looks like it has a tight part below it.I know that there is only one way to know for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobo_piggy Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 What's that mean "Alfakher style hookah"?? not sure but i think it's chinese hookah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamiliarJoe Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 hate to say it but I think it's a knock off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 That is most definitely a chinese made pipe. Many of the different styling cues give that away. The posting is off I suppose.Chinese pipes CAN smoke well, they just tend to be a little cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidglass Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 it looks nice, but the clear parts are most likely cheap plastic so probably a knock off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freezerburn456 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 This is my personal experience with hookahs that look exactly like that one. We have nearly 1000 cheap chinese hookahs sitting in a warehouse that have components that are extremely similar to those. The plastic globes crack, on their own after <100 smokes. The down stems screw into the stem, but the part of the down stem that screws into the stem is crap and comes off the down stem and cant be reconnected. most of them are a common chamber made to look like it has tubes. All of the finishes will come off in under a year. My lounge switched over from high quality Syrians (lasted 4 years of 3-6 times a night useage) to crappy chinese hookahs about a year ago. We have since gone through 3 entire sets of hookahs due to the cheap ones always breaking. That is just my opinion. If your heart is set on it then go for it. But the price is a fucking rip off. I dont even want to tell you what we pay for similar models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mohinder Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I'm not a fan of that at all, too many colours and looks really cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no longer welcome Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 do you have link to that? it's definately not an al fakher hookah, it's the same type of Chinese hookah that some folks try to sell as "premium modern hookahs", not wanting to name names. It's ok but for $95 you could do better imho. the only thing i have a problem with is them calling it an AF hookah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no longer welcome Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 i see now that the link comes up when you click on the pic. anyways, they say al fakher "style" hookah, now that makes all the sense in the world.actually it's a starbuzz style hookah as SB is in the business of importing these types of hookahs, you can tell by the glass, and well, every other component.

delSol_si Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 Thanks for you advice(even thought it makes me sad )! I will pass on this one. I buy hookahs to smoke, not to sit around and look pretty. I was hoping this one would do both, but from the sounds of it, it is an el-cheap-o hookah. Thanks for helping me save my money!And John, I agree with you one the Starbuz style thing. I have been looking around and have noticed Starbuz has imported some. This one does look strikingly similar to the those. I also noticed you have nice little MZ for pretty cheap. Man I wish I was in college right now, I am still trying to figure out how to explain a hookah or hookah accessories coming in the mail to my parents.
