T355 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Just bought a Magdy Zidan 22'' Echo hookah. I should get it late this week, if shipping doesn't get delayed. Anyone have any experience with this pipe?I've had a hookah before, it was syrian made, though I don't remember who it was made by. It was a 26'' hookah I believe. Anyways, I loved it. But let a friend borrow it and it disappeared about 3-4 months ago. So I had to buy a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippo_Master Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I hate these. But it seems like most people here like them. Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zinite Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 MZs are generally considered to be quality hookahs. You did good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did good.Ok, good! I found a 20% off online coupon from the site I bought it from, so I got a good deal I think. <$90. Including a bunch of add ons like hose cover, bigger bowl, 3 free packs of Nahkla shisha(which I have never tried, I usually use starbuzz), cleaning kit, tongs, some quicklights(which I probably won't use) and a long egyptian washable hose. I will post a review up when I get it.Thanks Edited November 21, 2009 by T355 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Ninja Robot Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Since you normally use SB I'll suggest when you use the nakhla that you pack it tighter instead of just sprinkling. Seems to work better I like midsize pipes, nice buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 yo gotta love mz's..i consider them km's younger but just as talented brother..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippo_Master Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I totally predicted the future. they aren't bad hookahs, but it's all relative. I hate them because of how light, weak, dull and small the stem is. Small bore as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought a km last nightI am hoping it will be in on Friday. So I should have a review up this coming weekend. I went back and forth between a KM and MZ for a couple days. Just went with the MZ cause I got a killer deal. The comment about the small bore has me a little worried. About the only thing that I don't like is a hookah with restricted flow. If it smokes half as good as my Syrian then I will be pleased. I miss that pipe, it smoked better than the 36''+ Egyptians at the hookah cafe's I have been to.

Il watch out for the review on the MZ because I really like em aswell! Yeah I also went for the KM because it was discounted by over £30! haha thats the main reason why I went for the KM with the narbish V3 because its non-restrictive! I love playing with huge clouds of smoke so from what the people have said here, the KM seemed the best buy to match what I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atticus Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I love my MZ. People sometimes don't give them credit, but they are very solid pipes. And as far as air flow goes, your MZ won't let you down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one as well, but the hose has a rather difficult draw... As a result I never really use it. The best thing to get it a narbish if you want a washable hose...

T355 Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 It probably is. I noticed that the majority of the sites have the same options. I couldn't order from the first 3-4 sites I found something I liked on. Something was wrong with the sites and I couldn't choose the flavor of the free tobacco that comes with every purchase so I couldn't checkout. It said I was missing a option, but there were no choices. Just a blank drop down box where they should have been. It was VERY frustrating.

mattarios2 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 MZ's are awesome, the down stem and pipe width is smaller than a km but it doesn't matter, they hit just as nice. Only gripe I have is some of them have bad cuts and are rough, and are more prone to rust than km's are. take care of it and it will be a great pipe!
