Twitchy Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) [quote name='Skoozle' timestamp='1355528625' post='565039'] That's not going to work very well. [/quote] i agree. its too bad there not cheaper.. but for being around the same price point as fumo.. i doubt they'll be to popular Edited December 15, 2012 by Twitchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santino Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Did they pack that thing all together (with the downstem in the unit), why didn't they split it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavo21 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 haha that is silly!! losers when you order a fumo hookah they put everything in a box with lots of foam so nothing moves. it comes in a wooden box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HookahHooked Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 [quote name='Chreees' timestamp='1354864896' post='564246'] At that price, I'd rather go with a CrownHookahs glass hookah... Tapatalk'd via iPhone [/quote] yup, this. the crownhookahs are awesome, and maybe it's just me, but these ones look kinda cheap. if they smoke well, that's the most important thing, obviously. but at that price, i'd rather buy something with more style.

â€On Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 You know, I hate to be the guy that has to mention this, but this is exactly what marketing is all about. Saying "we use better quality glass" just doesn't sound as appealing to people as "we use thicker glass" does. Yet, many people here look to guys like Santino as making quality products and time and time again he tells us that it's all about the material you use. "Quality over quantity" rings so damned true here. Shit, you look at a company like Fumo and I honestly can not even think off the top of my head of anyone mentioning their fumo breaking (aside from clumsiness). There is a reason these companies have the reputation they do. I am all for new competition into the market, and more choices for us customers, but if it's always going to be like this with Lavoo, they might as well throw in the towel now because in the hookah world, as with any business, your reputation and your products reputation will always speak louder than any marketing bullshit.

On the other hand, As a customer spending that ridiculous amount of money on a pipe, I would expect the seller to put as much effort as possible into packing it safely.

skeetsak Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 the picture above is of the chiller model. i dont understand how you can get a good smoke if you pile ice into the chiller and the bowl is practically sitting inside the chiller aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headhunter Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 its the only place i have seen them, and from experience 5star has been pretty good with packaging, never gotten anything broken from them and they shipped me an Elmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
