Head Shops = Rip Off


Recommended Posts

Just reminded myself why I bought my hookah and try to buy most of my stuff online today.

Like I said in my post last night, I was out of quicklite coals. 
So today I went to get some at one of the few local places I know... a
crappy head shop. 

Rolls of Golden Charcoal were $3.99 each and $30 for a box... double the price of a full box online.

The only tobacco they carried was Splash brand... $14.95 for a 250g
jar.  My friend paid $9.00 for them at a tobacco shop near his
house.

Hookahs... wow.  A 20" Hookah Bros was $100.

Online retailers, as long as you guys are cheaper than these places I will give you my business.

It all depends on where you are...I know a great store in Hollywood
(not next door, but a 20 minute drive, not like I'm not down there all
the time anyways...) that sells AF for $10 for 250g and I know coals
are resonably priced too, but haven't needed any for a while.  If
there are any LA people on here, give it a go...huge selection of
tobacco and hookahs all priced well.  I don't remember a name, but
it's on Hollywood Blvd (I think between Selma and Vine).
There are a few crappy head shops in my immediate area, but much like you their selection and prices are the suck!

oh cool.

another good place to go, don't know if you have been there is Balboa
Produce.  Its a Mid East market on Balboa at Devonshire. 
They have decent prices for hookahs, coal, and tobacco.  Will save
you the drive all the way to Hollywood.

I hit the head shop since it was a 5 min drive.  I should have done the 15 min. to the valley.

Headshops that sell hookahs are always a waste.
They sell the fluffy hookahbros and stupid ma'asell brands for high prices.
$3.99 a ROLL of coals? They should be hung upside down and throats slit.

Yeah find a middle eastern grocery and see what they've got.
The ones in the PHX valley sell shishas and everything needed.

Ratswallow's brother here, the Hollywood shop is south side of the
street, 25 feet west of Cahuenga. It's HUGE.  Hundreds of hookahs
in stock, and since its Hollywood, they get a ... uh... colorful
clientele. Last time I was there a woman was loking for a prettier
crack pipe than the one she had; you know, one with fowers on it. And
HR, the singer for Bad Brains was having a non-violent psychotic
episode outside.

Ahh, the gitz and glamour of Hollywood.
