Crys Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 my first hookah has officially died (it was a Sahara Smoke Cyclone) I still have the beautiful base it came with but I'm not buying another Sahara product...I was extremely unsatisfied with the quality so now I'm trying to decide on a hookah for my apartment I've narrowed it down to three different possibles Nile Hookah Namor package from H-S Sphinx Namor from H-S or a Syrian Grip with a Narbish from HJ I don't want to spend over a hundred dollars and these were the best choices I could find so I guess the question is....Egyptian or Syrian?...which is worth the money?

Crys Posted December 25, 2009 Author Share Posted December 25, 2009 quick update...instead of the Syrian Grip it would be the Syrian Bracelet....as I realized that the Syrian Grip is out of stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikhman Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I'd see if your sahara base would fit any of the KM stems that John has. I'm assuming you have everything else you need anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Measure the hole in the vase. If it's like 1.75" to 2" it will fit a KM stem. Buy a KM stem and a Narbish v3 from John. Skip the Hookah-Shisha no-name Egyptian/Syrians.

Stuie Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Well, I am not a big fan of H-S Egyptian Hose Ports and not a big fan of the look of the HJ Syrian Purge. That's my input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] dont have any XP with the guru series, but a rule of thumb for KM stems. they are all built incredibly well and they all smoke the same, witch is amazing.

ryno Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I've seen a few of the H-S Egyptian pipes and I'd avoid them. Just don't seem too solid to me. I'd go with the Syrians. Have you seen the AF hookahs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delSol_si Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 oh and i personally think the KM guru series looks like crap from what i can tell from pictures. i also think john said they are a little lower quality than a normal KM, don't quote me on that though.
