PhatBeezie Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Hey guys , I just bought my first hookah ( 31" rotating hookah )I was wondering how much water to put in the glass bowl to make it work good ? Another question I am wondering about is what is a really fruity shisha with a good buzz and also thick smoke, I have had hookah hookah shisha and I had AW , and another one , I had mixed fruit in AW but it wasnt as tangy or fruity as i wanted. I like the flavor of the hookah hookah but I think it is low qual shisha and smokes way to fast and not thick enough smoke. If you could give me some input that would be nice thank you.

web250 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Sure, no problem1) Water level, in general, should be about 1" above the bottom of the stem, and no more than 3" usually.2) Shishas that give a nice buzz are known as "unwashed", and have a nicotine content of .5% (as opposed to washed tobacco which has .05%). Some brands to check out:Al Waha (which you've tried)Nakhla (known for being a "cheap" tobacco, but has been around forever, and has some great flavors)Romman (Pricey, but a really nice tobacco)If you want to try a sweet flavorful shisha (which may lack buzz), try Havana or Al Fakher.

PhatBeezie Posted August 22, 2006 Author Share Posted August 22, 2006 Are you sure an inch above the stem for a rotating hookah becuase that would fill my glass bowl 80% up with water and then it doesnt smoke , Ive tried it ? Im lost on the water level , If i dont get it right it doesnt smoke good or even light at all. I need advice from some one who knows alot about rotating hookahs.Also what is a really cheap site for shisha and also Fast and not to spendy shipping ?

Donkeema Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 yashman should be able to help you out on that, a nice fruity flavour is grape A.F...not much off a buzz though but heck its a sweet flavour!try just making the water line touch the pipe...see how it works just by sucking in the hose without anything on, if it bubbles strongly and nice and loud, it should be okay, its a case of trial and error.

I think it still bubbles if it is not touching but is that not geting filtered then ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donkeema Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 your stem is way to short then, your smoke wont get filtered if the pipe isnt in water and no it doesent bubble if the water is not high enough i think*.looks like extending your pipes the only option...

PhatBeezie Posted August 22, 2006 Author Share Posted August 22, 2006 that pisses me off , I spent 87 bucks and it is very very low quality , the stem was to short , red on the glass started to flake off and it just feels cheap , I got it from smoking-hookah.com , does anyone know of a good medium sized hookah under 50 bucks that hits hard ?

MrGuy Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 go to hookah-shisha.com and get a QT (it's called the crown on there) from there. it's one of the most highly recommended hookah's around. and from hs, it's only $49 with $55+ of accessories free. Posting is normally not too much if you're not shipping over sea's.an MYASARAY hookah will do if you want quality. they are renowned for uber-high quality and great smoke.

unleashtheclown Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I've never seen a bad review of the qt. I have one, and my brother just got one a few weeks ago after trying mine. I'd say its a very good deal but it depends on what You're looking for. Hookahcompany.com has 2 30" egyptians that are very solid and will last a very long time, one of them is 60.00. Also You may want to check socialsmoke.com as they always have discounted items and many good deals. Socialsmoke also gives a 15% discount to forum members.

MrGuy Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 yup, social smoke hookah's are rumoured to be pretty solid. browse the forums, most websites do a discount for forum users, just do a search before you order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Rotators don't hit as hard, in my opinion, nor do common chamber designs. Oooops. A friend of mine wanted a knock off of a Stargate, with two long and one short tube, so I delivered it to him. That thing hits like a tornado. OK, so rotators don;t hit as hard. Stick to an Egyptian single hose model for your first one, in my way of thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said that rotators dont hit as hard , I get mine hitting so good , I just need a very good coal becuase mine sucks and it takes a while for them to get to the perfect temp.
