S3cretz Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Ive bought exactly 1. Use it every session and ive had it 6 years. But ive had to replace bowls like hotcakes and had alot of vases break. Replace my main smoking hookah every 5 months. I go through about 300g of tobacco a week. But 1 wind cover for six years now. I find that strange. So you guys how quickly do you go through them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vendetta_revived Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Do you really find it so strange? I mean, they are made of metal...can't exactly break them or anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Yeah, why wouldn't it last the longest? And why do you replace your main hookah every 5 months? Your hookahs should be lasting way longer than that. Also, I've never broken a bowl nor vase. *knocks on wood* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hassouni Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 The windcover is the simplest, most idiot-proof part, it should last forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) Yeah, the windcover "breaking" is unheard of to me. But aside from that, I've never broken a base or a bowl... yet Edited September 27, 2011 by Fus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epoch Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I'd have to try pretty hard to break my wind cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyCallMeDave Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Well, this has been pretty much beaten more than a dead horse... But yeah, you would have to try really hard to ruin your windcover. Also, props to you for smoking hookah in your toddler age. Not many people can say the same. (please note the sarcasm).

vendetta_revived Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 When I was 10, I used to eat these candies that came 10 in a packet shaped like a cig pack and the candies themselves were shaped and colored like cigs. And some people thought even that's a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I dont think ive ever had to replace a broken wind cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coyote Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I had one I made out of a can. yeah yeah yeah so hillbilly but psch... don't judge. It was beautiful... I painstakingly poked my own holes with a hammer and nail to make a decorative pattern. It worked fantastically. Then it was gone (along with the $100 i stuffed in the windcover)... lost in a breakup/move. It took this guy a month to give me all my stuff back... and he neglected to give my hookah and supplies back. So I had to start all over. Like sands through the hourglass...

Trini Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 the worst thing that happened to my windcover is my dog stole it to play with and it was all bent in and covered in slobber but i just washed it off and bent it back into shape its back protecting my coals once again...

Arcane Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 My initial reaction to this topic was, "wtf?!" But, the more I thought about it....I've actually gone through 4 "windcovers" 1. Given to my brother 2. Made out of a Monster Energy Drink Can 3. Made from aluminum foil 4. I'm currently using an extra large one now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoozle Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I always worry when I travel with my windcover, that that it will get crushed. Hasn't happened yet, but if it did I would probably toss it and get another. I have had my oldest one for 22 months so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king_lunchb0x Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 i almost broke my tri windcover, was drunk and stepped on it.( i leave it on the rug next to my hookah always) luckily i didn't go down with my full weight. That's about as close I have gotten to breaking one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuie Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I did throw one away a long time ago that had some plastic lining inside it. It smelled awful, but that's the only one I have ever really had a problem with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
