ghostofdavid Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 The local headshop here has some hookahs made by Group Elegance. What do you all think of GE as a company? I am interested in picking up a third hookah, as they have one on clearance with a crystal Bohemian vase (w/carrying case) for 80 bucks because it is missing the coal catcher. Then again, I need to invest in a nice four-hose system. Currently, I have a Stargate, a Mya QT and I formerly had an Egyptian styled beauty that I miss every day of my life...Sniff.Anyway, what are your experiences?

yashman19 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Never heard of it before. Got a picture, or a link to their site or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I love that black vase on the top :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuschultz Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 These pipes look beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glottis Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Looks kinda like a Mya ripoff to me. But, for all I know, some other company makes both their hookahs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuschultz Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I'm pretty sure Mya does all their own manufacturing. IDK about this new place tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioannisds Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I think Hookah Company sells some of their hookahs. Maybe check their site and see if there is any more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofdavid Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 Anyone with experience in these? Anyone at all!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 They are Mya ripoffs, I have looked at them, I bought one for a friend, I don't like them. Their construction is cheaper than Myas, on par with a cheap Egyptian pipe. I think they are Chinese rip-offs of Mya, and I think we should support Mahmood by not buying them.

ghostofdavid Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 Tangiers: That is something I can completely stand behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Lantern Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I agree with what Tangiers said. We should def support Mahmoud and his excellent customer service. I do remember that someone asked about Group Elegance a while back and Mahmoud said that they are in no way affiliated with Mya Saray. It seems to me that they are just a ripoff of Mya's unique products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofdavid Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 Yes, I have had a few phone conversations with Mr. Mahmoud Badawi and found him to be one who is easy to find favor with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Those are the same Bohemian jars...they are distributed by an outside vendor and paired with the hookahs. The upper jars are made in China and seem to be good quality. They are sexy, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakemonster Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 out of curiosity.. what are these knockoffs selling for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofdavid Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 I think it was something like $140 dollars. I could pick it up for $80 because of the lack of a coal tray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 They're actually only about $15-$30 cheaper, wholesale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofdavid Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 15-30 dollars cheaper than $140 or $80? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I don't want to get into specific prices...lets just say that if one pipe wholesales for $60, the other one would be wholesaling for $48 or so. Retail of course would be more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
