Just starting and looking for advice


Recommended Posts

I just bought my first hookah about a month ago(it is small probably like 13-15in tall but it gets the job done for now.) I have been reading the forum for a bit now and I really want to get a MYA Bohemian Glass hookha. I have a store on eBay that will sell the MYA Bohemian that is like 28''(dont quote me on that) along with a case for it for $98.00. I figure this is a preaty good deal and might get it but would like some input first.
Another question that I have is regarding bowls. I have heard the funnel bowls mentioned alot on here and really have no idea what they are, other then a funnel shapped bowl, which may be all there is to it but I would like to know if there is more.
The last questiion is about shisha. I have some sampels on the way to me to try but I am very intreaged by the Tangeres(sp?) especially the caffinated line. And I often hear of some sort of mint choc. shisha. Is this mixed with exsisting mint and choclate shisha or is it a mix that comes pre-mixed.
Anyways sorry for all the questions but I really am looking for some input on ways to make my hookah experience's better and get the best out of what I can get.
Feel free to PM or email me at joshbrees at gmail.com or just post here
Thanks in advance

Hmm i personally wouldnt buy it off ebay. Most hookah sites will give you a better deal and free shipping for orders 100+ dollars. Usually the carrying case myas tht price are around 22-24" tall. The mint chocolate chip you prlly are hearing of is from fumari.com. i would also recommend watermelon fumari. The funnel bowl kicks major ass and you can have a lot longer sessions without re-packing. There are some other posts about them if you want more info. Also i wouldnt reccmomend tangiers if your new to hookah, tht shit will put you on your ass.

Yeah, I found out today that I can't take Tangiers. I'm used to smoking heavy cigars and Nakhla tobacco, and the Tangiers rolled me
i kno its off the topic but what do you mean by heavy cigars?.. ever try an avo 80? they are pretty rare but i would consider that a stronger cigar

i'd reccomend the avo 80. About 15 bucks a pop but definately worth it. Theres a lot of fakes out there though so make sure you getting them from a reliable sorce. I think theres only about 400 boxes left so they are pretty rare but I have a good source in the Tempe, AZ area.

Don't buy from ebay...that just leads to all sorts of potential problems. I'd rather just save the extra money and buy from a reputable company for the extra comfort.

As far as the phunnel bowl, I fully endorse them. They work absolutly amazingly, and just make everything better, after you master the differences....Tangiers is a simply awesome tobacco, I love it, but yeah, it knocks some people all over the place...and for chocmint, id go with AfterNine, its pretty damn good.

Good luck!!

Just out of curiousity... can we see a link to the auction?


This is the auction I was speaking of:

Run my friend! Do not, under any circumstances, buy from that seller, regardless of the price. Do a search here at the forum for "Genuine Hookahs". He has been banned from here for various reasons, including sketchy business practices. Please do the search and read thoroughly. There are plenty of other places to get that hookah, even if it costs a little bit more.

odd that at myasaray, the people who make it, it is stated as being 23 inches while at genuine hookah its stated as being 28 inches.
i wonder where those 5 inches extra come from? B.S.

lets do the math. genuine hookah sells for 98 bucks plus shipping right where myasarays is 115.
but wait take 15 percent off the 115. that being 115 time .15= 17.25.
115-17.25= $97.75

so they cost almost exactly the same (actually myas a little cheaper)
now the choice is whether to buy from a place whose customer service is second to none mya. and who will take care of any problems you could possibly encounter.
or buy from a shmuck who got kicked off a forum because he couldnt follow rules. and who consistently messes up and doesnt fix orders.

i think the choice is clear.
give myasaray a call and be sure to mention that youre a hookah forum member. theyll hook you up.

I dont even see any hookah stuff in that pic..... Tahina (sesame paste)... all of that appears to be food items... prolly Fava beans... or canned pickles.. loks like he is in the ME food game too. I remember he sused to sell tea at one time.... so stands to reason.

Unfortunately.. his reputation for poor customer relations is firmly seated.

#1: It is not unusual for sellers that wholesale other Middle Eastern things to wholesell or retail hookahs and related products. Yes it probably is corn...or tahini or bab ganoush.

Worr Lord: Try poking more holes...this will make the smoke easier on you.

Entrails:our weather's going to shit...too dry. Everything was smoking badly last night at the lounge too. Well, on the other hand, if you enjoyed it, more power to you, my friend.
