KrestWolf Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Because i can't find it anywhere on the internet. Here is a picture for anyone who knows.. Any thoughts about it? It smokes really well as it's my first hookah. I just wanted to get info about it online but I didn't find it so I turned to this site to see if you guys know anything of it.

Hassouni Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Welcome! Not sure what you mean by fake. It's Chinese, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrestWolf Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 Welcome! Not sure what you mean by fake. It's Chinese, though... Thanks! That did actually help! Now i don't know everything about hookahs. But it being Chinese, is that a good or a bad thing about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it being Chinese, is that a good or a bad thing about it? Hate to be a downer, but GENERALLY it's a bad thing. Chinese pipes are usually badly made and will wear out and/or rust fairly quickly (the exception to this is Mya Saray, which is made in China but designed by a Lebanese company). Glad it smokes well, but don't be surprised if that doesn't last long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fouda Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Generally it's a bad thing. However not all Chinese pipes are bad. Mya's are great chinese hookahs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Yeah, not a fake necessarily, but it is a lesser-quality Chinese hookah. As long as it works well for you, that's all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitchy Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 not fake just chinese the pipe will be alright for awhile just be aware chinese pipes will rust .. its smart to buy solid brass pipes because they will last waay longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrestWolf Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 Upon closer inspection I see rust in it :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitchy Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 could be dirt.. maybe try cleaning it well if not.. next time aim for brass ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 *sigh* and don't foget, While the Mya STEMS may be chinese made, they do have Romanian/bohemian glass bases. :) But, to the OP, if it works, then enjoy it. Cleaning it regularly and making sure the ports and such don't freeze up will help prolong it's life. I've seen some pretty crappy Egyptian hookahs in my time as well so a pipe being made in the middle east isn't necessarily a guarantee of quality either. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrestWolf Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 I bought some natural coconut coals today and i am wondering how light them when i don't got any pan/burner coil so i am wondering if it will work to ignite it with an outdoors storm kitchen type of thingie? Reply ASAP cuz i am going to do this soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
â€On Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Good choice on getting natural coconut coals! You shouldn't have any issues lighting with an outdoor burner, it just might take a bit longer to get them going than on a coil burner. Blowing on them/using a fan to ensure they are completely lit (grey ash covering them, with a light red glow beneath, no black spots remaining) will also help to get them going quicker, once they have started to light.

Bawhee Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 yeah, open flame lights coals just fine, and its possible to light cocos with a lighter too... Ive done it. desperate times... if you have an outdoor camping style burner or something youll be fine :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bawhee Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I never said it was easy :D lighters, then blowing, then more lighters, and more blowing... it gets one side of the coal going, then you try to piggyback whilst furiously blowing air on the coals... yeah, takes a while.

They tried so hard lol, it was funny watching them freak over lighting one coal, then I said, you know we need a minimum of 2 right? Their faces were priceless.

hookah hippie Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Fake as in not a hookah, no. It is a chinese made hookah, chinese products are cheapily manufactured but if you are enojing your hookah, that is all that matters. Happy smoking!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
