GQ_Playboy Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 hey guys, im on the brink of purchasing a stargate rotator... but i wanna know what you all think of it! i read the reviews and they were reallhy helpful, but the reason im posting is b/c the reviews didn't shed light on how it actually smokes... most were just design reviews.... now i read somewhere the pull is tight... im looking for a hookah that can produce thick thick smoke and that is fairly durable.... Now my other thing is how are the hoses and i read up on rotaters on the forum and a problem with the stem not being long enough... i hope thats not the case with the stargate! and how well does it rotate btw... and does it look good in mid darkness? lastley do YOU PERSONALLY think its worth buying... or should i spend my $109 else where?Thanks for any insight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthHookah Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 no hookah is worth over 50 bucks in my eyes. save your money and get a sig sauer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novicafe Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 The stargate is a very nice hookah. If you put a MYA Cloisonne hose on it, the pull is even better. Not sure about the rotating stargate because i've never seen a use for a rotating hookah really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unleashtheclown Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 from what ive heard either get a mya, or a different rotator. Stargates are chinese, cheaply made crap that wont last very long, they also look really cheap imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novicafe Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Thats all based off what you've heard. And its wrong. At NO.VI we use stargates for our everyday hookahs for people. Its been well over a year using them and they still hit very good and are well put together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unleashtheclown Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 its my opinion and I reserve the right to have it, and in my opinion I'd say buy something else. Sorry if that brings a tear to someones eye, im not trying to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novicafe Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Certainly didn't bring a tear to my eye. And I know you reserve the right to have your own opinion. I misread and thought you said from what you've heard about stargates and thats how you rated them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See i dunno b/c even at the arab stores around here in Toronto they sell i think 26 inch stargate knockoffs for like $300.... thanks alot for your input tho!and novi your stargates are hitting well? any complaints?

Skimo Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 lol i dont see how they look cheap, they look bad ass to me, i want one just off of looks alone haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novicafe Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 The only complaint is the glass part of the base, starts to weaken, the molding part, but that is easily fixable by epoxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansLight Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 you need to as Yash, hes got one. Someone else does dont remeber who it was though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalliwag Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I love the looks of the stargate. If they survive a lounge environment, especially a busy on like Novi and only end up with a problem that is easy to fix with a little epoxy they sound good to me. The base is wide at the bottom so it looks more stable than most hookahs too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dikydave Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 ya, you couldnt knock over a stargate unless you're trying your ass off. they are quality. order one off of taqseems ebay store and get in touch with samir and he'll hook u up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizzyGuy Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I haven't gotten the tracking info... But I'm sure I could get it if I asked, but I figured I'd wait a few more days for my hookah to show up first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizzyGuy Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I got a paypal reciept... and I probably would have gotten something from them, but I e-mailed them my info first and asked if they had gotten it and I got a quick response that they had. I only ordered on the 20th at 11 PM so they didn't even see it till the 21st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizzyGuy Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 If yours is getting mailed that fast... that means mine really is about here I'm hoping tomorrow... but I'm half expecting Monday... so it'll be like Christmas for me!

Sonthert Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 If you put too much water in the jar, it leaks. I think they look cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsboy Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Again, I have one, I smoke with it everyday once or twice. I clean it and I try to take care of it. Everyday, I am having a new problem with it. It smokes better than a low end one, but it is not worth the $$$ I spend in it. IT RUSTS in several parts.
