thatonethere Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 (edited) What's the deal with some vendors *cough utah cough*selling hookahs with some sort of light in them? To me that just cheapens the hookah experience and makes it lame. What do you guys think? Edited November 19, 2009 by thatonethere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santino Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Exactly, we've sold so many of those damn things simply because it lights up, we've also sold a lot of those because they're $19. Different strokes for different folks.(ps, if anyone wonders what the hookah in question is, it's one of those "rave" pumpkins that light up.)

lasagna Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I think it all depends on your environment...Personally I agree with you, I think lights in hookahs make it more childish and takes away from the nature of smoking hookah. But I assume they are targeting a certain group, possibly hookah lounges that cater to a younger crowd or just random people who are into that kind of thing. But yes I certainly agree with you, they don't mix for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sin on Sunday Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 i don't think i would try a light up one but recently i have been adding small glow sticks to the base which makes a cool effect when its bubbling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasagna Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I look at it the same way as I would like the beach or something. Beaches are fun to visit, vacations and what not; but I'd probably not want to live there. A light in the base would be fun a few times, but I definitely wouldn't buy a hookah with a light built into it, if that made any sense.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a while of smoking with a hooka that had a light built into it, I think it would get boring and redundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasagna Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Yeah, and you have to also take into consideration that their target audience isn't going to be daily hookah smokers. People who purchase these probably don't smoke that often, so the quality of the pipe won't be great.. And if someone does purchase it for a daily hookah smoker, it would be more of a gag gift.

ih303 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 (edited) I hate those rave pumpkins. They're such pieces of junk. The lounge I own used to sell them a long time ago before I bought it. The little buttons to turn on/off the lights would always come off and get lost. It's funny, though. A lot of people could care less about the quality of a hookah. Seriously, if you made a hookah that was built with disco balls and cup holders along the shank and naked ladies painted on the base, you'd make a ton selling to nubs. I'd say four out of five lounge customers value fashion over function. Edited November 19, 2009 by ih303 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtm2007 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Yeah, for regular smokers I would go for better quality, and if you MUST have lights, there's a few online sites that sell little glow-bubbles and base lights and whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I woke up my baby.You wouldn't believe the shit people claim gives them thicker smoke.. one guy tried for like a half hour to convince me that if you used kool aid, your smoke tripled in density. Granted it was a few minutes before he asked if we still sold hookah hookah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Just adds a look. Not a big deal. Don't like it, don't get one. I don't like it but I could see it being an interesting piece at a party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yojaun Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I am not a huge fan of hookahs that light up but thats because no one other than meduse has made a good one that I know of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
