chinamon Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 they accept a payment processor which does not allow tobacco transactions so i would not purchase from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotsi95 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I dont know about them but there prices seem a little high. Id suggest (like MANY other on here) to order from hookahjohn.com. He will treat you right and there is a coupon for 10% off if your a forum member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skmiller Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 Thanks, I only ask because Ive read a bunch on the boards about Tangiers "Bug Powder" and they claim to have it in stock. So wanted to see if I was throwing my money away or asking for a headache by ordering from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skmiller Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 That was the red flag that made me ask about them. I figured if they were a legit site that everyone has heard of or used, that it may have some truth to it. But I didnt see anything about them in the vendors section of this forum.

cotsi95 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 It is VERY interesting! They seem to have all of the new beta flavors...Bug powder, Blue flower, Lime, Lemonlime, Ginger Beer, pomegranate, and green tea with honey.Maybe they got some from eric since they are located in SD or maybe its a pre sale type of thing...But they have pics of the packages...hmm I dont know to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The handwriting is digitally added to a blank label. Look at Tangiers Chocolate Cherry and compare the capital C's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skmiller Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 Def sounds like this site is not legit. Thanks for your help guys. It was def confusing especially since Eric mentioned in another thread that he was giving hookah company his shipment of bug powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats not a bad deal imo.Its just a bad deal if you give them your credit card and they dont send you the product and end up using your info. Granted if you have a good CC company you'll be covered for fraud, but its still a pain in the butt to have to call them, open a case, cancel your current card #, have them issue and mail you a new card, then update any other vendors or bill pay services with the new info. Im very tempted to contact citibank though and see if they can get me one of those one time card #'s for online use that ive seen advertised by other card companies.

skmiller Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 So I just called the # from their contact us link. I got a woman on the phone and she sounded legit saying that they do in fact have these flavors in stock and they accept major credit cards and blah blah blah. She even talked about how long it would take to ship to the east coast and what not. I wonder if we can get Eric to chime in regarding if he's heard of this vendor or even distributed "Bug Powder" to any vendors other then Hookah Company, like he stated he was doing in his one post.

skmiller Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Spoke with this person again. When I asked how they got their hands on bug powder and some of the other flavors that no one else has, they suggested that I ask Eric how they got it. They claim to know him from the San Diego Hookah scene and said they've known him since before he started making Tangiers. Also claims to have met Hookah John before and that they order his coals to distribute to lounges in San Diego. They have another site which is: dehgo dot com. Seems like a site with info about San Diego hookah lounges. They also have a twitter account that they post lots of info to. Ive PM'd Eric. Lets see what he has to say. If they aren't legit, then he may want to know that the person from this site is going around saying that they know him and using him as a reference when asking how they got the flavors they have and when asked about how legit they are.

skmiller Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Just bit the bullet and placed an order with them. I'll let everyone know how it goes. Talked to my CC company and they provided me with a one time use virtual #.I was sent a confirmation email and told my order # is order 11.

skmiller Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 I had PM'd Eric asking if he knew about this site and he responded back that he knows the owner from San Diego and he buys stuff from him as well as Hookah Company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dehgo Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Lets think positive. I have a good feeling you will get your Tangiers shisha you ordered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
