herbalsmoke Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I've always used a glass top stove to light my cocojamra's and my stove is fine. But i did start to change it to a coil burner. If you need to use your glass top a few times before you get a single coil it shouldnt be that big of a issue. I guess its long time use that will damage the glass top.

Floataround Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Any reason you realllly dont want the green one? You could always get it and buy a different vase at a later date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absalom Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 looks like you're on track for a nice hookah! I did the same thing - I bought a lesser hookah before really educating myself. unfortunately I spent more money than I should have on the first one. looking forward to seeing what you end up getting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uxe Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 HM.. well I found a Lebanese market today around here and they had hookahs. The details I can provide are.. The Hookah it self was around 26-32inches not sure since It was on the table when I looked at it. It weighed anywhere between 6-10pounds with the base. the base must have been about 10-12 inches in height and 4-5 inches wide. The stem was made of Brass and went all the way up to the tray. It was a screw on base with rubber grommet. It was copper dragon detail. Similiar to but no where near the style of [url="http://www.hookah-shisha.com/p-1268-silver-eel-2-hose-hookah.html"]http://www.hookah-shisha.com/p-1268-silver-eel-2-hose-hookah.html[/url] the dragon was made of copper and was an inch wide by a quarter inch thick. I may b e able to see about taking a picture of it and posting it up. Its a local guy, its brass stem with copper detail and weight heavy, with a screw on rubber grommet base. He was asking 79 for it. And he said they got oversea brands.. anyone hear of Giza? He had Khalimamoon's I beleive as well. All his stock was those black rubber grommets.

Uxe Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) Ah, wouldn't let me edit.. Anyway. It might be the other way around with a copper stem and brass dragon.. All I know is the stem was a bronze looking color and the dragon an off gold but solid and heavy and hard. The hose it comes with it probably this exact hose.

herbalsmoke Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 In my opinion you are better off buying a quality pipe online then take a risk at the market. I don't know about the brand you are talking about but i remember once i went to a market and the man told me it was a egyptian very good quality and i bought it. It broke down on me very soon. After that i went online and bought a KM and a mya both lasting me a very long time so far. I say go for the ones online because you know 100% your getting a good pipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floataround Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Yea...even the many turkish and arabic shops I go to carry cheap chinese. One shop I know caries some mya and nammors, but they are waaaaaay over priced. like 2 or 3 times the online price. I only go to shops to get mu'assal and pre cut foils now. One shop did though, and still does have a legit syrian hookah. A little over priced at around 100 for its size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any situation other than hookahs, I'd say buy from the store so you know what you're getting. But I just don't see decent hookah gear being sold at shops around here.

vendetta_revived Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 If you can't look at a hookah and recognize if it's a KM, (or any other brand you're looking at for that matter), then it is a way safer bet to go online! Buy something from a respected vendor and you will never doubt it's quality. PS: Quality pipes will never have a dragon coming out of the stem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
