Anything New The Past 2 Years?


Recommended Posts

Hey y'all

Used to browse through here a lot but haven't the past year+ since my MZ got trashed sad.gif . Still smoking every two weeks, but not with the variety and enthusiasm as I used to when I had my own hookah. Decided to get back on the scene and just seeing if things have changed here at all.

Is Eric still the local deity? KM's still kick-ass? MZ's and Mya's holdin' it down on the upper class? Razan, Nammors, and phunnel bowl still the shiznit? Tangiers still curb-stomping newcomers?

Far as I can see, all these seem constant, but I'm just checking if I missed anything. Anything new on the hookah front?

You pretty much covered it smile.gif



People are digging the new AF syrian hookahs, a buncha dudes are making glass hookahs and bowls now, there was a crazy deal in which Eric the Deity made us miniphunnel bowls in a limited run, there's a brand of pipe called Temsah which apparently uses the same components used to build KMs but are cheaper, there has been a Nakhla resurgence on the forum as of late, there have been a few washable hose competitors added to the Razan/Nammor category bla bla bla bla bla, not really anything insanely major.

Welcome back!

hmmm.... Temsah seems to be something to definitely be worth keeping an eye on. As for the rest, it looks just like the good ol' hookah forum I remember. Wished I was around for the mini-phunnel run, though.

Not seeing old names such as Yash and mech ant, but good to see that mushrat and eric are still around happy.gif

Robot man did a great job summarizing.  Let me see what I can elaborate on.

Tobacco:

Eric came out with a washed line of Tangiers called Lucid

Nakhla came out with a more modern line called Mizo.  

That's all really worth mentioning imo

Bowls: 

A bowl called the vortex came and past.  It is a fusion of a standard bowl and phunnel bowl

Glass bowls and mini phunnels as ninja mentioned

Coals:

Coconut: Coconaras, HookahJohns, Afire, AF and Starlight are among the favorites

Japanese: Golden Canary and Fumari

Quicklite: HookahJohns hands-down

Natural: Um, exoticas but they have major quality issues. And I Don't here much talk about other naturals such as lump/bulk anymore.

HookahJohns? Sounds like a knock-off but click sets it as legit. If I see one I'll try it out. Right before I left I heard about the Mizo line, but it wasn't actually out widespread. Also, AF had only one hookah model I remember, so it's nice to see the gorgeous additions to the lineup.

Oh, and it turns out Yashman is still around. I thought he was gone but I saw him on the boards right after my last post, lol.

How long has the idea of putting a diffuser on the downstem been out there? I absolutely love having a diffuser on my hookah. Still faking my own, can't wait to get a Heba. Is that a new thing?

welcome back. Did you have another account back then that you want re-activated?

I'd say the rest of these folks covered most of it. Some old friends are gone, new people on the boards, we've had to crack down a bit on the rules and what you can and can't say I'm afraid.

ANd ya, i saw yash the other day for the first time in gods knows how long. smile.gif

Can't really remember my old account, so might as well let that one die. Never posted much anyway, and I can't recall the name or password.

As for what you can't say, I'd say good riddance. I use hookah only for hookah and I still remember the drama over key words.

And Genie, diffusers do go a ways back. The heba's been out since god knows when, and people have been fakin it with pen caps to widgets from Guinness cans.

welcome back there isn't much else I can think of

and diffusers are lame


I love using a diffuser. Won't smoke w/o it. If I don't use it on my Bambino, the coals jump all over the place. And on my KM, it cuts down on the noise considerably. So, blum2.gif !

Obama is president....that's new.

Oh! There's Ed Hardy hookahs/shisha now! That's exciting! Can't wait to get my hands on some new Starbuzz tins for double the price! Woo!

...That and everything else that's been said is about it.

Basically, me and FCB are the only two who still admitt to smoking and likeing Starbuzz.

Santino makes awsome glass bowls, which I think we've come to name crown bowls?

Everyone either really loves or really hates Meduse hookahs. I personally want a 2 hose brute, just saying.

Ed Hardy bought some SB and put his crappy designs on them, and then charges $40 per 250g.

Eric is making a new Lime flavor, and it will be the best thing you've ever smoked. Ever.

Hookah John's QL are easily the best QL out there.

Hookah John has a new hose called the Narbish, pretty badass if you ask me, he's the only one who has them.

Milk is still a horrible idea for a base.

Hookah-Hookah's Black Label herbal is better than their normal quality, also better than Hookah Freak and a handful of the Al-XXXXXXX tobaccos.

Oh, and they're grommets, not gaskets.

Oharro Skiddles, ya this was a thread I was tempted to start as well, as I haven't been around in a LONG time myself. Still smoked, but not with the same frequency as before.

I have tried the new line from Naklah, specifically the grape, which really had me impressed especially for the price! I ordered 1 of each of thier newest flavors from Mizo earlier this week from H-S.com, and I'm just waiting for it to arrive to give them all a try, should be tasty.

And I wasn't aware of Eric's new line of baccy, going to have to give it a go as well, as I'm always interested in expanding my palate. Anyone recomend the most preferred sites to order this from? Although I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to locate.
