DC_Hookah Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 So I am new to hookahs and having trouble finding reputable web sites to shop from. I have so far used three sites: saharasmoke, hookahcompany, and hookah-life. I know of hookahjohn from the forum, but I was hoping to tap the collective mind of this forum for more places to buy online. Also, I live in DC and wonder if anyone knows of any retailers in the surrounding areas that are legitimate. So far I know only of Khan El Khalili in NoVA.

Arcane Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) additionally, there's a vendor section...the companies with official vendor threads aren't too shabby. Edited January 7, 2010 by Arcane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fillup Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Ive used hookah-shisha, hookah john and texas hookah over my hookah smoking time. Over the three Hookah John is the best. His customer service is well above the others and he even throws in free stuff with orders from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hassouni Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Hey man I'm in Nova/DC too. Where is Khan el Khalili? Duty free shopping from the Middle East aside, I usually get my tobacco and coals from the many Lebanese or Persian stores around --Assal Persian Supermarket in Vienna has lots of Al Fakher and other tobacco too. Gourmet Basket Lebanese store, in McLean, has really cheap Coconaras, cheaper than online. There are also two shops in Adams Morgan that have hookah stuff, one is called B&K Newstand, and the other, not sure, but its a little hole in the wall on the same side of 18th street with hookahs in the window.

antouwan Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 i really only order from 2 places online: Hookah John & Hookah Company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayfarinstranger Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I just bought a KM hookah from Hookah John and was real pleased. I called him concerning some shipping issues I had and he was real understanding and accommodating. Plus, he threw in a 50g of Al Fakher. Not that he'll do that all the time, but still.

white_rabbit Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 i feel as if this is a very forgotten vendor: southsmoke.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahl071 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) Southsmoke.com, where I ordered mine from. Excellent support, and they take packing very seriously-When mine arrived i had to swim through packing peanuts to get to my goods, but they in perfect condition. prices for parts are cheaper too-the vortex style base that H-S charges 50 bucks for is a mere 35 from southsmoke. I was very satisfied with my purchase, and they almost always have some sort of speciel incentives going on. Edit** Right on Rabbit!

T355 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I bought my hookah from www.hookahkings.com, and I have also ordered through www.socialsmoke.com. Both had great customer service and were shipped out the next day and packaged wonderfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
