dscl Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 What's up Hookah Pro-ers!Last time we chatted I was looking for advice on a washable hose for my first hookah that I bought from an acquaintance. I ended up getting a new hose shortly after I posted and while the hose is great the hookah not so much. The port was too small so the hose would not fit with a grommet so I had to resort to wrapping it in plumbers tape to get a seal.Flash forward I still have not bought a new hookah. Fact is I'm a cigar guy (5-15 a week) and I only smoke hookah like twice a month."Winter is coming"Cold weather is here and the wife doesn't let me smoke cigars in the house. She will let me smoke hookah though so while I build my smoking lounge in the basement I was contemplating buying a new hookah."Horseshoe in my ass"While doing a bit of research I entered a Social Smoke contest last month and won! My package hasn't arrived yet, but I was told I would be receiving this: Izmir Pro Series 1-hose HookahCan anyone tell me about it? I've found reviews on their shisha, but not really on their hookahs (at least not this model).So am I good to go? Or should I go buy a KM or something still?Cheers!

Bawhee Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Looks pretty decent, if its solid as it says then you should be fine especially if its free :P Also we are in fact not hookah-pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Lol. Glad you have decided to post with us even though we may not have been the intended audience! :P I say use the SS hookah for now. You can always upgrade to a KM later. Like you said, cigars is your first love so you may decide pretty soon hookah isn't really for you anyway, or you may just not smoke enough to warrant buying something else.

LOL I'm glad too :D As big as SS is I'm surprised that I'm having so much trouble finding people who have used one. As you know Hookah is my second love, but from what I do know it looks quality, brass stem and everything. Anywho thank you for the advice!

A Sharrp SYBIAN Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) It isn't even made by SS the "SS Izmir" is made by the folks at MZ or Magdy Zidon. It is a typical solid nickel plated Egyptian brass hookah. Nothing fancy, however should smoke like a champ. I too don't understand why they'd give her a Turkish name but either way its a nice solid hookah. all egy pipes smoke the same. If you have this you don't need a KM. If you want to get Fancy in the future save up for a Turk or Syrian pipe. :-) Enjoy! All that being said considering you got this pipe for free its a total win!
