Chreees Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Hey guys, I ordered me a new hookah! Steppin' on up in the hookah world! Have the two-hose Mya QT with a black vase, but I've always wanted a prettier and better hookah, mostly a Al Fakher or Khalil Mamoon. I'm more attracted to the AF, though. So I ordered it. The Small Solid from Hookah John:http://www.hookahjohn.com/product.sc?produ...p;categoryId=22I can already tell I'm gonna love this hookah. BEFORE anyone says I should've gotten a KM, I'm going to go ahead and ask you to please refrain. I seriously considered a KM, but always been more of a fan of the AF. Anyway, I'll let you guys know when I get it and how it smokes! Just had to share my excitement. I get it on October 2nd. Can't wait, 'cause my small Tangiers phunnel and three 250g's of Nakhla (strawberry, chocomint, and mizo guava) come on the 1st, so Friday's gonna be a good day!

delSol_si Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Enjoy man! Like I said, if you have any questions, let me know! I'll do my best. For the price you paid, that was a good hookah to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really considered it, I really did. But decided cheaper was better. The smaller size will make it easier to clean/carry/just overall manage.

Jeff_T Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) Awesome choice man. Let us know how it is, seriously considering one.

NimbleCow Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I have a smaller Mya--and I don't understand why the larger hookahs have stems that don't break down into pieces for easier cleaning--it's crazy!I'm assuming the AF doesn't unscrew into pieces?

One of the biggest drawbacks of KM's, IMO. Pain in the butt to clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 No, it doesn't break down for easier cleaning. The Egyptians and Syrians don't screw apart... but hey, less places to leak air, right?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingsMaster Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 i dont find my MK a pain to clean at all its easier imo because i dont have to worry about all the broken down pieces all i have to worry about it getting the brush down the downstem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 ^x2. Oh, and guess what guys? I just ordered my buddy a KM and he gave me cash (he lacked a credit card). After I bought the AF, he decided he wanted to upgrade also from his Hookah Brothers hookah. This is what he got:http://www.hookahcompany.com/al_bakr_khali...h_3784_prd1.htmSo now I'll finally get to try out a KM. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't noticed a difference between the 34" ice and 36" AF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 Awesome. It's going to be interesting to try the two best hookah brands. My buddy's leaving for the police academy and will be leaving his KM here... hehe. Nah, I probably won't touch it without him here. Definitely can't wait to get my AF and Tangiers phunnel.

newjacksm Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I am disappointed in my AF, I was expecting something great. I think it smokes on par with a Chinese hookah. Purges better but the pull is pretty disappointing.I do love the way it looks, I'll smoke from it time to time. However I wish I saved the extra cash and got another KM or bought an MZ instead. Hopefully you have a better experience then I did/do with my AF and have a different outlook on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen youtube vids with people getting massive clouds, just as big as KM's will put out. I'm still confident with my purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 I get it today! I will post pics. I would post smoking pics, but I don't think I can get my cell phone's camera, despite it being a high-end 5MP camera, to take good shots of the moving smoke. Damn $400 Sony Ericsson phone off eBay from Hong Kong... it's a love/hate relationship, lol. Nah, really it's just love but I wish the camera took good pics of things moving. Slightest movement blurs like a mofo. Anyway, I will update as soon as I get back from school. It should be here by then. Good thing my friend's staying here, so he can get it if it comes while I'm gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 Man, do I love this hookah!!! BIG smoke, purges great...Unfortunately my phone's camera blurs too much for action shots. John forgot the second tray and grommets, but he's fixing that and shipping them out today. He asked me if I wanted to order anything to go out with it. I'm thinking the blue Narbish hose and the silver Tangiers-sized phunnel... Will the Narbish really make a difference? Btw, I used my Mya grommets, lol.

delSol_si Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Congrats! Looks nice, sorry to hear you didn't get all the parts. As for the hose, pretty well any hose of wider diameter that doesn't leak will make a tremendous difference. Personally, I would build my own if I were you and save a few bucks, but its up to you.

Chreees Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) Well, I'm thinking about the Narbish, since he's offering me discounted shipping if I order some things to go along with the tray and grommets. Is it true that you can get the Narbish hose with the connected mouthpiece and just take it off? I want it to be able to come off, but would just as well buy the connected one and take it off if I can. I heard it's not that hard. I'm definitely picking up the windcover, though.

Chreees Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 Welp, got a windcover and a blue Narbish hose! Can't wait to get everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 Man, I must say... I can't believe what I've been missing! This hookah smiokes so much better than my QT. I'm amazed. I've smoked chocomint, mizo guava, and strawberry (all Nak flavs, in my small phunnel) and they've been great. Except for the guava. I think I packed it too tight. Gonna try it again before I call it quits and sell it. Perhaps I'm just not a fan, or I really messed it up. It gave decent smoke with little flavor. The other flavs gave big smoke, however. Can't wait to get my new hose, windcover, and the trays. Yeah, I forgot to mention, he's sending me two different size second trays to go on it! Pretty cool.Anyway, I'll post more pics when I get the stuff. Try to get some action shots too! Gotta find the gf's camera... She's always losing the damn thing...

Chreees Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 Man, this hookah is awesome!!! Smoking pics:AND these pics STILL don't do the clouds justice...Huge props for matterios2 for the Nakhla tutorial. I gave mizo guava another go after not liking it the first time. Apparently the first time was user error; I didn't pack it right. I recommend this hookah, hands down. Can't wait to see the difference when I get the Narbish. I also give props to delSol for recommending this pipe. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 Oh, I also forgot to add huge props to delSol also for fixing my problem of not having any grommets since I sold my Mya QT today to my brother. The wet paper towel trick really did work well. I get my grommets, trays, blue Narbish hose, and windcover Thursday. More pics of the AF: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I want an AF so bad, smoked out of one again last night and hate myself to telling all my friends to get one before I could afford one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 It really is an awesome hookah. I was wanting a KM real bad, but settled for this. Pretty much glad I did, 'cause I like the aesthetics of it better. I will still get a KM in the future, however. For a guaranteed good smoke everytime, use matterios2's tutorial. I'm going to try it with Al Fakher shisha (if I have enough left) in the next few days, but instead sprinkle it, not pack tightly. We'll see how it goes. I just want to keep smoking these three Nak flavs (strawberry, guava, chocomint) they're so good... Definitely blows away AF's shisha. Funny, I have a AF hookah, yet I prefer Nak over AF. Lol.
