Barneybr Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Hey there well, promp info: my name is Luiz and I'm from Brazil. I'm heading USA next friday (March, 1st) and I really need some doubts to be cleared (don't wanna be a disturbing guy :P)... well, I'm actually going to see my sister, that has been living in Utah for the last months, but I'm going to California, so I've been looking for some hookah shops, lounges, etc. But, here we go: here in Brazil, I can take my own hookah to a hookah lounge, usually I pay like the half price of what I'd pay for getting one from the place. Is it acceptable at USA? Would I have (many?) problems on brigging my own hookah to the country? And, where can I find good Hookah Shops in San Francisco and Los Angeles? Any other tips for a first travel to USA? '-' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang67n Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Most hookah shops don't let you bring your own pipe in unless you know the owners personally. As far as travel.. I've never flown internationally so I'm not certain, but As long as its checked and not suspicious i dont see any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavo21 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 like mustang said most places wont let you bring your own pipe in, unless you know people. or you purchased it from them. But there is so many lounges between san fran and LA that we cant really list them all lol. just look in the lounge section find some places.

Chreees Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 The places that I've asked about bringing my own pipe, they have said "Sure, but I still gotta charge you full price." I just don't see the point in doing so, especially if you're going to use their bowl, tobacco, and coals anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barneybr Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 "I just don't see the point in doing so, especially if you're going to use their bowl, tobacco, and coals anyway." Here, we use our own things o.O the only thing we use from them, is something to light up the coal, or just the energy when we bring our own stuff. But, if they charge 100%, and as I don't want troubles at the airport, I'll not take my pipe with me. About the lounges... do they also sell hookahs, hoses, etc.?

Almost all lounges will sell supplies but they're not at the best prices. Go to a lounge to smoke their hookahs and buy supplies from a hookah/smoke shop. Since you're going to California, the haven for hookah-realted stuff on the West Coast, you might want to try to order something online and have it shipped to you to get the best prices and fastest shipping. And if you're near San Diego, then check out the "Tangiers Tobacco & Oddessey Hookah Lounge: the one place any Tangiers lover must pilgrimage to at least once in their lives.
