thatonethere Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) The holes are too small so I had to poke extra ones at the bottom of the bowl, causing the foil bowl to crush a little. It's good for someone who wants to try a little bit of starbuzz at a time without having to commit to a 50 g tin though. That's the only plus side of this item.

Stuie Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 It's not a new idea check out my Mabruk review in the shisha section - these don't come with charcoal. John has them too. I will pick up a couple to try. If they are decent I might keep a few on hand when traveling but not many at that price!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hookah_510 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Probably never will. If I wanted to transport some "ready to go" shisha, I'd just prepare a bowl with foil and holes through them already. It's a creative idea but not practical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ih303 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Honestly, I don't think it's a bad idea. Although I'm not surprised 1) that the folks at Starbuzz came up with this idea, or 2) that they failed. I'd say a pretty large percentage of innovative ideas are born out of the desire that most of us have to be more lazy. Even in this industry - quick lite coals, pre-cut foils, autoseal ports, etc. It's not news that people are generally willing to pay more money to do less work.

porksandwich9113 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I have a hard enough time paying 20 bucks for a 250g tin of starbuzz, much less 3$ for 10g. Secondly, who the hell is that lazy? I mean seriously? It take what? 5-6 minutes to pack a bowl - put on foil, poke holes, and get the coal rolling? While it is an "interesting" idea - it's going to flop.

IainUM Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 interesting idea, and i would try it if someone handed it to me, but i dont think i could spend money on it. it seems more geared towards the new-to-hookah people that might not really know how to pack a bowl or something. innovative? yes worth it? i highly doubt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezxen Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 looks like something i made a long time ago using a tea lite . Minus the charcoal filter , Dont see a point to that. It turned out ok not the best smoke ever but it was not a crappy one funny thing is i used starbuzz when i did it . Lucky SB here is 16.40 for a tin so if i feel like smoking Sb i only have to shell 2 more bucks than i would for AF . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king_lunchb0x Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 honestly i wouldnt imagine getting great smoke from it... or a long session but there is always people willing to waste money just to save few minutes. Just wait for the ed hardy readyhead's they will come with a free rub on tattoo!!

hookah hippie Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Hookah company had these for another brand I think it was nakhla. They weren't really popular either I don't think they sell them anymore but I haven't looked in awhile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rani Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Seems like you could just create these yourself with tea light cups, bulk tobacco and foil. In a way interesting to me because I have a friend who makes little foil pillows of foil wrapped tobacco, pokes it top and bottom before tossing the whole thing into a bowl and then piles charcoal around it. She claims it works really well because it cooks the entire little ball of tobacco all around at the same time, but honestly I haven't gotten around to trying her method yet. But the similarity is interesting. 'Rani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatonethere Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I made one of those once, and I didn't really care for it. Sure, it was very easy to clean, but I don't think the smoke was that great (it was a long time ago so I can't remember exactly how bad it was). I remember getting a lot less clouds.
