Chreees Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 *sigh* Chinese hookahs BESIDES MYA are almost ALWAYS going to be crap... Stick to the main brands (Khalil Mamoon, Mya, Temsah, Al Fakher) and you'll be okay... A very good Chinese is the Crystal Blue on thehookahcentral.com. Before you ever buy a Chinese hookah, ask about it here first. We'll tell you if it's crap or whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cartercdad Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 my first hookah was a chinese acrylic. damn thing was a screw on leaked like crazy. when i got a better hookah i chopped the heck out of it and made a hookah out of a Heineken mini keg.

Capt. Morgan Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 My 2nd hookah was chinese, I guess I was fortunate because it held up extremely well and I had quite a few good sessions with it. Actually its currently in Ashes87's possession and is still holding up quite well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepItSimple Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Ditto everything that was said. But to add to it, my first hookah was a china made one, and I just pulled it out this morning. When I throw a good hose on it, it improves GREATLY. Sorry for the annoying caps but it's to emphisize, the drastic change that a hose can make. Obviously it's not as good as my KM. But not too bad, no leaks. Moral of the story, there are some good chinese hookahs, but if you have to money don't risk it and just get one of the ones chris mentioned.

PSU Smoker Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 crystal blue is screw on and has a rubber ring at the base for an added seal. My chinese had a screw on stem which was ok, just you just have to make sure you clean it well and let the space between the threads dry out otherwise you are gonna get rust/buildup problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 See, that crystal blue is ok then, because don't most screw-on Chinese come without the rubber seal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyCallMeDave Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 My first hookah ever was a havana hookah, didn't work to well for me... My second was a chinese though. Not too bad! Definantly better than most chinese pipes out there. I don't have it anymore though! Sold it, and used the money to buy one of Jay's KM's. Can't wait!!!

Venger Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 like everything else you buy you have to shop carefully and educated. Just because a car is made in the USA doesn't always mean its a good car. Just because its a GM doesn't mean its a good car. Just because a hookah come out of china doesn't mean its a bad hookah. Shop around,know your product and choose carefully.

A13lackFish Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 all i know is that the ones i have smoked out of have all been cheap quality, seem to focus on adding way too many hoses, easily break, dont smoke well, and have an overly large amount of glitter. there could be decent ones out there though so who knows. I usually stick to major names like KM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yeah, I smoked it once w/o the seal just to see and it still smoked just fine but the rubber seal makes it competely air tight. If you have a modern without one id imagine you can just buy a rubber ring from Hom Depot to help out, thats if the hookah is even worth the effort lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king_lunchb0x Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 the first hookah I bought was a chinese 2hose, it was a p.o.s but i didnt do any research and i was new to smoking, when to a local shop and bought it. About a year into it there were leaks coming out everywhere, i ended up having to use apoxy to try to seal some leaks and had to seal up one hose port completely, i was able to get good smoke out of it to my surprise. But for how much i paid i could have gotten my new km instead. -Just do your research- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
