My Set Up...


Recommended Posts

yeah its a cheesy chinese hookah, but it looked cool and i dont mind taking it out in public and sharing it it goes with the theme of my computer room. i will be getting a mya colossus for xmas or shortly there after and that will be my persoanl hookah, and this one will just be used for outings or large parties where i need more than a one hose collosus. and yes each of the containers in the 2nd pic have a different flavor or brand in them.. i am still going through the process of finding my particular favorite brand/flavor combos so i have an assload of 250g or less packs of shisha and i found the ziploc bowls work wonderfully for up to a 250g of nakhla... so on to the pics. not a bad start for someone who was just introduced to hookah less than 90 days ago...

If you got 45-50 to spend, ditch that hookah and pick up a QT or bambino, much better hookah and still good for a starter. Hell, I use a hybrid of the two and have been smoking for 3 years

At the very least, if thats the skull conversation bowl I think it is, you'll want to pick up a new bowl or two, one egyptian and one phunnel. Still nice collection of tobacco.

i am in the process of trying to obtain both a KM and a mya colossus for private use, i bought this one cause it fit my decor, my wife liked it (which meant it was easier to talk her in to letting me buy it) and the fact that the store i bought from has a lounge in the back free for customers that used the exact same hookah for their lounge and i knew it smoked in a manner that was acceptable to me. i also got a 10% discount on it so that helped too.

I have a friend with a QT and i have joined him in partaking from it a time or two and honestly this chinese rig smokes almost as well as the QT does in my novice opinion. But yes it is definately a starter rig bought more for looks than top notch function because i knew it wouldnt be my only hookah.

its a decent bowl but yeah its the skull.. i already have a few spare bowls for it when its being used by more than just me, but solo the skull that came with is about the perfect size i can usually get two rounds of 33mm golden coal ql's but my room is breezy so i have to use 2 at a time till i break down and buy a windscreen.. between my hepa filter and my fan and ceiling fan its hard to light a regular lighter in here sometimes.. and yeah i know thats a bad thing.. i'll teach myself to live without my cool circulating air one of these days.. but when you have 100+ temps for like 50+ days in a row.. being comfortable inside is a priority especially if it just means throwing an extra coal on the bowl.

Ive seen a few of those around before. And i understand getting it because it matches and stuff but imo that thing seems like its akl for looks i dont really like figurine hookahs. But if it works for u as a first hookah more power to. Hope u get the mya soon.

I just started using those particular ziplock bowls too, I love 'em. You really need a TUB shaped container for shisha.

thats alot of shisha mang..lol


most of the ziploc bowls only have 50g packs in them actually... i ordered a bunch of different flavors from several different producers in 50g size. nut i am anal about freshness so anything that doesnt hate an airtight container gets unpackaged completely and put in a bowl.

my friend has that hookah, and its god awful. when you get your colossus you will realize how bad that really is. the downstem is tiny, the hose is tiny, and the bowl is awful...really who decided that making the top of the bowl not flat was a good idea?

I have never been a fan of the stems or bowls you have. Love the Bases. But the stems and bowls little too dark for me. Doesn't make me feel relaxed enough to smoke. If you got Questions about the Colussos send me a PM been smoking mine for a week now. Gonna post a review soon.

Personally, I'm not a fan. I like more traditional looking hookahs. But as long as you like it, that's all that matters. Well, okay that's a lie. It has to smoke well too. I think that after you get a Mya or KM, your current hookah will be for decoration or might possibly end up in the trade section. Nice collection of tobacco though.

Aight, first off: Get a new hookah and you will be opened up to a WHOLE FUCKIN' NEW WORLD of hookah.

I was like you, not really sure about hookah stuff. I bought an Inhale brand hookah, which I believe yours is an Inhale too... Anyway, I mainly got it because the girlfriend wanted to get one that "looked good." Sure, it looked good, but smoked like shit! After two smokes, it was already leaking air in multiple places. I returned it, got my money back, and for the SAME price I went to Hookah-Shisha.com and got this for a total of $59.99 (used the HookahForum discount code, basically free shipping!!!):

http://www.hookah-shisha.com/p-1726-mya-qt...ose-hookah.html

Got it with two-hoses and a black base. This is hands-down the ultimate cheap hookah. Won't break the bank, yet it gives you wonderful smoke. And it won't break on you... Sure, my girlfriend HATES the way it looks, and I'm not too crazy about it either, but what really matters is the smoke. And with this you can't go wrong. It's all I can afford right now, and according to other members' testimonies, these things last years. I'm gonna' eventually upgrade to the Mya Obelisk two-hose (I always get a two-hose for whenever my girlfriend or buddy wants to smoke too), but right now the QT suits me fine. No hurry to upgrade. You just can't go wrong with this little dude.

Oh, and that's a hella awesome shisha collection, man. You're set for a while. I have myself seven 50g packages of Al Fakher, a 50g Romman blueberry, and about 15 Hookah-Hookah shots (will probably NEVER get smoked). I'm gonna buy different brands after I smoke the Romman and AF, try some more stuff out. What all do you have, by the way? Maybe interested in trading something I might like for my Hookah-Hookah shots? Lol.

like i said above, i plan on getting both a KM and a Mya colossus (xmas gift if not sooner) this hookah was something my gf would actually let me buy, now that i have the habit i can make the excuse that its crap. smile.gif but i smoke several bowls a day out of it and no leaks yet.. cleaning every morning.

i will prolly be posting a shisha trade thread soonish.. i ahve a few things i dont really care for. but that will come later.
