PhatBeezie Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Has anyone else felt really f***** from smokinghookah.com ? I bought a 31 " rotator from them about 3 weeks ago and the peicer fell apart already and is just the crapiest thing I have every seen , Has anyone else had bad experiences with smoking hookah ( in buying a hookah ) ? PS: I wouldnt have ordered from them if I had known anything about hookahs at the time I ordered on becuase now I know what ones are good and not.

htdsngup Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 yah man that sucks. I guess it does happen sometimes.Me and my friend got our hookahs within like a week of each other and he got his for 40$ when i got mine for 120. I thought i got ripped but later found out i had a mya bohemian so i was like tiiiight.And then i found out he got a mya acrlic for 40, which sucks cause thats so cheap. I think the persian market guy dint kno what he had on hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhatBeezie Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 I just contacted smokinghookah through email and I will tell you guys what they say to me when I get it tommarow. I want revenge on them lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PersianPride Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I bought a 24" Syrian from them a while ago and I think it was worth the price that I paid, good but not great. However I can tell by just looking at the pictures that some of their more fancy hookahs (i.e the rotating ones and the modern ones) may not be that high quality.Personally I won't be buying anything from them for a while because of the devastation Israel has bought Lebanon. Some people don't like to factor in politics into their purchasing but I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 It was in a random thread... I like the concept... but not the flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhatBeezie Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 Ok I got a Response from a different person this time and they seem to be more down to earth. They said they would replace the broken parts , but the problem I replied to them is the part where you put the hose snaped off and the bronze tube that comes off the stem cracked and broke off too lol, after that happened to it I just threw it away becuase what am I going to do with a shitty a** rotator base, I ask them to send me a new hookah that is not the same kind and I will repost when they reply to my email.

Sonthert Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 This is a common problem with almost all Egyptian hookahs. Even the ones that are solid metal, not hydroformed. This is the main reason people hate Egyptian hookah quality...they can't weld/solder to save their lives. I have sold a number of them, of this type. One friend of mine bought like 3 on different occasions. One kept breaking in the same place yours did, he finally welded it and it stayed real fine until the vent valve broke off too, he welded it back on and the whole thing has been fine since.
