About To Be Back In The Game!

[3rooker]

So, after jumping on a Tangiers 7ico from 5star, I decided I guess I should bite the bullet and just get the damn hookah purchase over with, so I can enjoy the bowl . I'm going to end up with more than one hookah anyways, just need a place to start. So, with money a little tight after I make my bike payment at the first of May, I'm going to go with a Farida over a KM, though I'll eventually get a KM, just can't decide on which one And, Elmas is growing on me too, so, I'll probably pick one of those up as well lol.

But, for now, I decided I'm going to place my order with Emir. I'll probably be placing it next week after my bike payment clears. I'm planning on the big box of CCN, a can of Starbuzz, since i have a gas stove I'm getting an electric coil, and the Farida Zanouba Getting the Tangiers 7ico with Kashmir Guava, Tropical Revenge, and Old School Watermelon. I might get an additional hose but not sure which. I was thinking just a Tonic washable just for ease of use but may hold off. Hose suggestions welcome

Excellent choice of hookah, good sir! And the #7 phunnel is basically the same size as a Tangiers Mini Phunnel (a tad smaller) from a comparison mavsfan did on .us, so enjoy owing that rarer bowl (more rarer than the Pico will end up being most likely) as well.

That is a beautiful Farida, I've heard good things about them and the quality may be better than is found on at least some of the new KM's. I purchased a new model KM early this year and am so disappointed with it that I don't even use it.

With some of the flavors you are getting a second hose may not be a bad idea, the kashmir line likes to ghost hoses, and if you are a fan of washable hoses they are all pretty similar. Fancy hoses are a good option, I don't mind them and keep a few on hand. They're washable and disposable when you finally wear the hose out, and at a few dollars a hose, a good deal.

I think that stock Farida hose is waaaay cooler than any disposable washable hose.

Looks like a great setup!

Faridas are hit or miss from my personal experience, hence why we have them on clearance and wont be carrying them anymore. I had a handful of stems that had not just damage from shipping, but blatant manufacturing flaws.

I do, however, have a very discerning eye when looking for these things since the last thing I want to do is send a customer a brand new heavy brass stem with a miswelded 30* off downstem that hits the vase every time you try to put it in...

But if you get a good one, and I mean the vendor cares enough and actually takes the time to look over the stem carefully and send you a good one, then they are solid hookahs.

That's why I bought it before the pipe. I wanted to have it, and if I ever decide to sell it, someone will pay good money for it haha, but it will go into the collection and be like a boho...makin people jealous haha

That's what I've heard with the new KMs. I really had a tough choice but it all came down to money, and money dictates the Farida, plus I was leaning that way anyways.

The ghosting is why I want a completely washable hose. The hose that comes with it is badass, but I don't want to destroy it so quickly Thanks for the hose suggestions I'll check them out
