Echo III from socialsmoke.com

[TheAlmightyClaw]

I was thinking about getting an Echo III, and was wondering if anyone had any problems with it. Also I was wondering what types of shisha I should get from socialsmoke.com I was thinking about getting Nakhla or Layalina, and wanted to know what people think about them and flavor suggestions. Thanks.

Naklah has a very strong buzz factor ie nicotine content, so if this is your first time smoking anything with nicotine, you might be overwhelmed. But Naklah has its good share of fans, and enemys. Layalina tends to be on the good side of most of its users, so I think you will be safe if you choose to go with layalina.

Don't have any experience witht he Echo III though, so I can't really help you there.

yea as yash said layalina is a good brand if your new to it all. I myself am a high supporter of nakhla. I love it and smoke it constantly. But as he also said, alot of people dislike nakhla alot and as such its really up to you.

As for Echo III. i have its bigger brother the Polaris III. All SS hookahs are basicly the same, except of course size and hose count. I love it and it serves me well. its a good hookah, solid consturction, and i must say very nice looking cant go wrong with SS Egyptians as a first.

DO forum members get a discount at SS?

Yes, from what I understand Scocial smoke gives a discount & I know for sure SouthSmoke does.

I love my Echo III...Its very classy! It definately provides a wonderful smoke and has a wonderfully easy pull to it! There are a couple things that I should warn you about however The echo III has a female adapter on the top….So instead of being able to use a standard bowl, you have to use a Syrian version. I spoke to Eric (tangiers man) about this and he was able to fashion a device that could turn it into a male adapter..Ok now boys and girls, think about male and female parts…GET YOUR MINDS OUT OF THE GUTTER…Anyways, the bowl that I received from SS is very nice, the only thing is that the inside isn’t glossy so it stains and you can see the burnt molasses in it. I mean, all of this sounds like a pain in the ass but to be honest, when you get it and set it up, you are going to fall in love with it, trust me…if you can get the light blue one, its really pretty…I know that you said you like green, but I think the blue is the best. The down stem is pretty good quality and the stem itself is sooo pretty to look at when its all shiny and clean…The hoses are pretty good quality, like I said these are not washable. There are cloth covers that go over the hoses which are cool looking on their own, they are black and bright silver striped. The handles on the hoses are very elegant, mine are this faux cherry wood which looks great with the green. The base is heavy duty glass and like with most painted bases, this one does not chip away…So theres my review, take what you want from it. I think that it’s a good buy..Just my opinion!~

I think we do. I'm not sure though, someone correct me if I'm wrong. I believe you just put Hookah Forum in the discount code box.

[ikellen]

Yes we do. In the discount code box, type in "hookahforum" for 10% off. Also, don't abuse this code. I found this code on a few boards outside of here, and it's really a disrespect to SS.
