squidget Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 So I got one since the base on my Mya finally gave out. So far I've smoked about 5 times and I dig it. I will probably do a formal review after another few weeks with it. I have heard some negative rumblings here and there but nothing concrete. I'm curious a)why you don't see more SS hookahs out there b)what's the overall opinion of those that have them c)why the no love? oh and pics or it didn't happen [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/S7Be8l.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 A lot of the bases are painted on the inside. I have seen them at lounges where the paint was gone where the stem inserts and where the water level is. There were tons of people coming out complaining of rusting all throughout the stem. It's been a while. Let us know how it is working for you a few months from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3cretz Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Ive seen many many complaints about rust so be shure to blow some air through the hookah with your shishavac every time your done washing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vendetta_revived Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Same. Have heard that they rust quick and bad. I like the base but the looks of the stem are just not doing it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epoch Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I love the look of the Sahara Smoke stuff. As far as modern style hookahs go, I prefer their looks to Myas a lot of the time. I'm just reluctant to buy them because of the rusting reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squidget Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 so far no rust - the downstem is different material compared to the rest of the hookah (stainless steel over whatever this smoked chrome is). Aesthetically I like the modern look and it smokes effortlessly. In a few months or so I will post a long term review. Maybe they've change? Time will tell.

Chreees Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Someone here said they changed how they make them so supposedly no more rust now (use better quality materials- think Econo Mya). Back when I first joined the forum, it seemed like every other post was "My Sahara Smoke hookah is rusting! HALP!" Hope they really have changed and yours treats you well.

Epoch Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I certainly look forward to a positive follow-up review. The world could use more quality-built modern style shishas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
