cab395 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Hey everyone! Went to a new head shop today that's only about six months old. I wanted to see their variety of tobacco and coals, and I wasn't necessarily impressed with their prices or selection, but really liked the staff. They had some BEAUTIFUL hookahs there tho. If I go back again it'll definitely be to buy one of their hookahs. They had AF and SB, but only had 3 flavors of AF (which I really wanted), and all of them weren't appealing to me. I wound up buying 100g of Starbuzz Blue Mist flavor, since I love blueberries LOL . They also only had QL coals which I wasn't too happy about, since I was dying to dry some nattys . What's your opinion about Blue Mist? I'll be trying it out tonight and making my own. Ok, finally, to my question (I'm too long-winded!!)... First, what is your opinion on the best online retailer. I want to start buying coals online both because I want some naturals, and I feel like it'd be wayyy cheaper. Am I right in this? Also, I really want to try out AF since I hear nothing but good things about it, and want to find a good vendor. Lastly, I was at the head shop and the guy said they had just got in electronic coals. They were $40, and plugged into an outlet. He said they worked well but I said I'd hold off because I never heard of them before. What do you think? I don't think I'm feeling that... Thanks for any advice!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zildjian Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Blue mist is my 2nd favorite starbuzz flavor. It is simply amazing. Best online retailer varies. I suggest you look at all of them and compare and see for yourself. I recently ordered from 5starhookah.com and think they are pretty darn good. But there are a ton of them. Nazarhookah also has exemplary customer service. Do not buy electronic coals. Take that money, go get an electric coil burner from Walgreens and get some natural coals (i prefer coconaras).

Blakefox Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I like 5star, hookah-shisha.com, and hookahcompany.com. I'm not a fan of anything starbuzz so I couldn't Reccommend blue mist. Al fakher has a good rose, mint, and watermelon though I usually stick to tangiers tobacco. I wouldn't trust plug in coals myself. I'd rather buy a plug in burner and heat up naturals.

cab395 Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 That's what I was thinking about the plug-ins. I'm glad you like Blue Mist, Zildjian, I can't wait to try it! I'll definitely be looking at these sites you've both given, thank you. I'm going to check out Tangiers, too, as I've heard great things about them. Thanks again!

Blakefox Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 For the retailer, just find what either has the best price If youre buying small or te best price with discounts if youre ordering big. 5 star has every peice I want in every color I want so I'm most like shopping there next. Then getting a nammor hose from hookah-shisha. I like buying all prices from one place to save on shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3cretz Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 No electric coals no! Ive been into the whole electric hookah thing for a while now ec coals dont work well and if you decide to use them buy 2 for enough heat. Rather wait for an electric bowl so the shisha gets evenly cooked otherwise the smoke is very thin but I guess 2 ec coals should do the trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blakefox Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Or if you're feeling daring, you could always try shiazo steam stones from 5star with a tangiers phunnel bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squidget Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 electric coals are a waste of money, don't do it. That said, best online retailers in my experience have been hookah-shisha.com, hookahcompany.com and 5starhookah.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I'm not a fan of Starbuzz, so I can't recommend any flavors for you. I like Tangiers best, followed by Nakhla and Al Faker. No electric coals. I second the electric single-coil burner and natural coals (Coconaras, Cocomazaya, Razans, Golden Canaries, Fumaris, etc.) suggestion. Online vendors that are the best around: NazarHookah.com, Hookahcompany.com, Hookah-Shisha.com, UltimateHookah.com, 5StarHookah.com, and CrownHookahs.com for all your glass needs. They all have discount codes for the forum which can be found on here on the discount codes thread (Google "Hookah Forum Discount Codes" and its the first page that pops up).
