vickstephanie Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 My boyfriend got me a hookah for my birthday last week and it came in the mail today. I got to pick everything out...which took me a while as I did a bunch of research on here. I was literally waiting for this like a crazy person all day. When UPS finally came it started downpouring and I ran outside to get it as quick as I could. Hookah-Shisha really likes those packing peanuts lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickstephanie Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 Anyways...the main part of the purchase was a blue Mya Gyro. It was more impressive in person than I expected it to be! The detail is SO beautiful!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vickstephanie Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) I tried to get all of the things I thought I might need to start out with. Shisha, coals, extra bowl, windcover, etc. The hookah was supposed to come with a cleaning brush but h-s ran out of them so they sent a washable hose and pre-cut hookah foil instead. The package came at like 2pm so I started acclimating some of the shisha as soon as I was done taking pictures. We started getting the hookah ready around 6 and smoking at 6:30. I acclimated Starbuzz Safari Melon Dew & Chocolate mint today. I really don't even know if the acclimation made a difference because I swear it was almost 100% humidity today and AWFUL. We smoked the Melon Dew earlier for our first bowl. I was really bad at doing the whole foil thing ahha bubbles! This bowl smoked okay for our first time ever setting up a hookah, but it wasn't perfect and it wasn't very flavorful. We ended up stopping it after about an hour and just wasting the shisha and throwing it out because we knew we did it kinda-wrong. Realized that the main problems were that I put too much shisha in the bowl and forgot to poke holes through it into the bowl (if my wording makes sense...). So, we tried again with Chocolate Mint. And the session was WAY better, we smoked til the bowl was cashed. Awesome flavor, even bigger clouds than the first time...so good! Anyways, I just wanted to share my excitement in a place where people could actually relate! He has sturdier hands than me and doesn't suck at punching holes in the foil. I think this might have a lot to do with how our first bowl was less than perfect. I'm hoping to place another shisha and coal order soon because right now we are getting ready to smoke our third bowl of the night. This time, it's AF Grape.

Tyler Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 My first hookah was a pumpkin hookah I won by correctly guessing 10 "mystery flavors" in a row at a local hookah bar contest. It was ridiculously easy but it landed me a job and the title "Hookah King" among the local hookah bar rats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fcbayern Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 DAMN thAts a beautiful pipe .. CONGRATS.. I wouldnt worrry about not getting it perfect the first time. I think half the fun of smokin is the Journey to enlightenment.Just an observation, maybe 2 whole coco's is a little too much heat for a standard mya bowl. It should be right for the phunnel but the mya is kinda small.CHEERS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sisonpyh Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Happy late birthday! Very good job on your research and figuring out how you packed the bowl wrong. Don't think anyone would be disappointed with that order. Like the hookah porn as well, haven't seen any for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
