Addison Roberts Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I know this topic has come up but I noticed they were all made in 2011-2012 when they came out. I was wondering if anyone has tried one now? I would love to get one just because the look of it but I am afraid the pull will be restricted or the coal's will not fit or just something stupid like that.. All the youtube video's I have seen are in other languages so thats no help and I can't find really anything specific on google. The ones I am interested in would be…. http://www.smoking-hookah.com/hookahs/unityhookahs/unity-hookahs/the-unity-hookah-black.html http://www.smoking-hookah.com/hookahs/the-unit-hookahs/the-unit-3-0-hookah-diamond-black.html Anyone know if a lotus would fit this? Anyone have any problems or concerns? I would love to buy one but I am a little skeptical of buying it for 200 and not liking it… Maybe I will post a wtb on trades.

Chreees Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I remember hearing about it but don't know anyone personally who owned or tried it. Kinda one of those "oh hey look, neat hookah" threads that didn't really amount to much. Maybe that is your answer...

Addison Roberts Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) I think it might be a little restricted with the hose being so thin… I don't know though, I hate restricted hookahs. I won't even smoke a restricted hookah which is why I stuck to all glass for a while and recently just bought a regal. Im looking into some other hookahs now and some new wide draw hoses.

A Sharrp SYBIAN Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Well most hookahs in general aren't restrictive at all its the hoses that determine the restriction. If you pair a Syrian or Turkish hookah with a Grand Hose or Nogoom hose or Thunder hose The Draw will be wide open on par with a KM or Regal. Those Unit hookahs the metal ones seem to have a tiny port that can only fit the stock hoses they come with so I'm not sure if you can upgrade the draw. All I'm Saying is If you have a collection you have to include some Turkish or Syrian Brass at some point. You should also consider the KM Prince simply because it's Brass it's solid, its very Heavy and once you pair it with a wide gauge hose like a caravan grand Hose, Asli or Nogoom hose any of those will widely increase the draw of any hookah and the KM Prince has giant ports and a wide draw to begin with. Plus for a KM it's quite a show piece. I still prefer the AF Large Solid though. Anyways Glass pipe's aren't all they are cracked up to be i was on a glass pipe kick for a minute as well. Nothing beats Solid Brass / Copper. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Purple-Caravan-Grand-Washable-Hookah-Shisha-Hose-Wide-Gauge-80-inches-Long-/360837733861?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item54039adde5 I personally Love the Narbish hose the most but you may not like it because it has a little restriction compared to the other 3 hoses i listed. However you can increase the pull of the Narbish or any other hose by adding a Crown tip crown tips a lot of them are round like the Orb tip or mini orb tip they can greatly increase the draw of the hose if you pair even the most restrictive of Syrian or Turkish pipes with a wide gauge hose and add a crown tip the Draw will quadruple and easily be wider than any glass, regal or KM hookah. That is what i tried to get at. People Buy these type of pipes for the style and weight and overall baddassness. Then they customize them with wide hoses and crown tips to increase draw. No need to drill the ports lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addison Roberts Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 After smoking that Regal I thought it was a bit restricted at first but I really liked it… I might buy a km but with all the brass pipes Ive owned in the past I think I want to go twords modern cool looking hookahs. Like this unity I won't buy it because I won't use it but I buy for look's and performance which some people only buy for performance. I like to have my hookah's on display wether at work or in the home office. I really wish I had pictures of my old collection before I sold them all… So many nice pipes but they were just all practically the same. I mean they have different carvings in them but that all had the same appeal to them for me.. With these glass hookah's before I started selling off this collection I had them all lined up on the wall in my office. People would walk in and either be like holy shit or what the hell are those. I liked that each one had a different loom and appeal to them that was on a significant level. Thats what I want to go for with my next collection… And if you can't tell I change collections a lot. I think if I could find a unity for around 100 I would buy it just to say I've tried it… If I do get a brass I will get a 701 for sure even though it may be restricted I would purchase the widest hose on the market and say screw it. Just to say I have one lol… I was thinking about getting a halzone though I heard its really nice and has a wide open pull to it. umm…. I might look into that KM Prince. I heard a little about it but just not my appeal. Maybe something I can smoke out of often. I am also looking for another very small pipe that looks attractive with low mainance for work. I tried this regal at work today and it just didn't work to well on the desk.. I had to sit it on the ground which was alright but I like a small desk hookah for work… Maybe that unity if its non-restricted enough. But yeah… My preferences my be a little different than the average hookah smoker but it fits me and my desires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addison Roberts Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Don't get me wrong… I love the smoke, taste, and experience of each bowl I just prefer a little class or a nice conversational piece… My personal hookah's I smoke alone I don't like smoking with other people like my roi bubble… Thats my hookah. No ones else… Its just my opinion on hookahs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the BR Prince Of The Road, it's the least restrictive pipe I've ever used. Part of it is the 1/2" ID downstem, but MOST of the open draw on these comes from their particular style of hose port, which, by it's very nature, is much more open. You talk about all these pipes you have had in the past, which I find surprising... at 19, in less than two years, you will have amassed and sold multiple collections (i'm understanding your wording right). Anyways, aside from the peculiar scent that puts off, if you did own a ton of pipes you would know that they differ in many ways beyond just looks. Unless all you had were KM's, I guess. If you're looking for a small tabletop pipe, you might as well just stop looking at MYA. There are other alternatives, but for the price:performance ratio, they are pretty hard to beat.

Addison Roberts Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Its slightly restricted for me. Nothing like what I have smoked in the past via km's or eqyptians but I am use to smoking like glass hookahs with wide ports. Idk now that I am smoking out of it now I don't think its restricted any more last night I had ice in the vase with a heba defuser on it so that may of been the problem.. And yes my previous collection I collected pipes from when I traveled and I had about 30 pipes on shelves in my room when I lived in spain but about 1/2 of them were just for decoration purposes. Some where only used once or twice and the 3-5 hookahs I smoked daily. I had no clue about restriction and what not I just knew I liked it and since most of the time I didn't understand the people I couldn't learn. Now that I am back in the US I am learning a lot more about hookah's. My second and basically current collection I have glass pipes spread out from my house to my work. That just consists of, well use to consist of 13 all glass pipes but now I'm down to 6 or 7. I am wanting to go back to traditional hookah's with a bit of rarity to them and more or less luxury hookah's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoozle Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Yeah, that Diffuser probably added some restriction. Probably not noticeable on a KM, but it's likely to throttle a Regal down to "KM like" restriction. You may also want to take a look at how deep into the water your down stem is. If you have it pretty deep, it will make it harder to start the draw. I think ice may actually make it easier to start the draw, not sure though.

Addison Roberts Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 I had it half an inch above the down stem but its hitting really good now. I think I am love <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
