JaviFSU Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Hey guys, unfortuntely i was just cleaning my stem on the hookah-shisha ebony hookah i have, and the pipe inside to where the downpipe is screwed broke off. It doesn't look like i'll be able to fix it, so I'm going to hae to buy a new stem. I called hookah-shisha, and a replacement is $40. thats kinda expensive considering the whole thing is only 75, and also considering i had one just break on me...anyone know where i can get a stem that would fit onto that hookah? or should i just stick with the hookah shisha one?

Lakemonster Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Sure wish you had a pic of the stem where its broke... might be able to tell you how to fix it. If not.... well. then PM me if you would like to sell the broken stem/whole hookah cheap or trade for a bit os shisha or something. I think Im gonna start a Hookah Junkyard. Lake's Hookah Nation: home of the largest used hookah parts in N. America. U-Pull. I-Pull. Mechanic on Duty. LOL.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaviFSU Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 Sanguine...that hookah you put a link to (and most social smoke hookahs along with it) looks awful, and besides, whos to say that it won't break as well? The only bad thing about the way the ebony looks are the hoses, and i got Myas a long time ago. If I would get a new hookah, i would probably go with a hookah hookah one though, cuz those look sweet. Lakemonster, as far as fixing it goes...it might be possible but im not too sure how. The exact part that bokre is a shaft that comes up ththrough the bulbs where the hoses conect to and connects to the shaft goign up towards the bowl...if you want to send me some shisha for it that would be cool...just let me know what you have..the only thing is that shipping this bad boy might be a bit expensive because of its weight. and asuseani...do u think that the Mya sten will fit on the base I have? even if it did i dont think it would look to good though anyways, thanks for the pointers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[LB] Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 no javisfu, sanguine knows what hes talking about. That ebony hookah wont get you far, that social smoke hookah will kick the crap out of it anyday. Im not trying to bash you there buddy, but hes absolutley right. and you dont know what your saying if you think a hookah hookah hookah is a good hookah, they are not- the best ones you can get are mya's, and then social smoke hookahs, your worrying too much about asthetics.

SanguineSolitude Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 looks awful? im sorry if it looks like a hookah and not a toy from a headshop. and hookahhookah hookahs (heh) have had mixed reviews here, you can get a better hookah for the money than one of those. how i know it wont break like the ebony is that i have one just like it. ive smoked out of one of the ebonys and found it to be subpar. thats what a hookah looks like man. i also gave a reasonably priced alternative, since i assume you arent rolling in dough otherwise you probably wouldnt have bought that crappy of a hookah to begin with. if you want an amazing looking hookah that also smokes well... youre gonna have to pay for it. dont you dare put a mya stem on that base lol, myas dont deserve to be treated so badly.

ioannisds Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Yeah, SS is right. In fact, I would choose a Social hookah over one from Hookah-Shisha any day. I bought a 2 hoser (Egyptian) from HS awhile back, and the stem was kinda disappointing, not finished well, and just a little shoddy. I sold it to Lakemonster I believe for $20 or something. I then purchased a new stem from Social, and it was very nicely made, just like the previous stem I had gotten from them on another hookah I bought. HS is a great company, but I have been much happier with the quality from Social than from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macho555 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I'll be the first to say that I adore some of the moderns that HS has but...well, I know better than to buy them. The Abyss hookah has been a favorite design of mine for a while but...I REALLY have the feeling that its junk... I love SS hookahs, I have one myself, I just wish they had a few more modern designs.

SanguineSolitude Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 im a traditionalist i guess. i like the hookah tradition and would rather my pipe look traditional. i hate stargates for instance, they could be the best hookahs in the world(not), but they look like something to battle aliens with not smoke out of.

Macho555 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Hey, it takes all kinds, ya know XD I can't wait to finally own a Stargate...I love the way it is, like a steel pillar. If I can get that, and a Nour, then I'll be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very aware of what a hookah looks like. And the reason i think it looks awful is because it shares that same shaped base that is on every basic hookah from any manufacturer, and I find that to be terribly unoriginal. Fear not, I am not going to order a Mya stem, you can rest well knowning that one is not going to be mistreated. I decided instead to just order the replacement from hookah shisha, since I wouldn't want to put anything but another crappy stem on the rest of that horrible hookah I have, out of the fear of creating a frankenstein hookah that you would undoubtedly abhor and bash me for. P.S. Out of consideration for my Mya hoses I have decided to detach them and replace them with rubber tubing...out of respect for the sanctity of mya, and the onerous task of being connected to an ebony. If any of you are interested in this cool mod you can find the tubing here: http://www.automobiletrim.com/images/tubin...bbertubing.jpg) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
art_official Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 to keep it really classy and traditional, i wanna find one of the old hoses, shown here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASUSEAN1 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 no i ment just buy a mya hookah. that way if shit ever breaks you take a pic, email it to them, and they will send you a new one for free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macho555 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Well, as far as your arguement of "it looks terribly unoriginal" goes, thats just..not a very good arguement. Sanguine was talking merely about terms of durability. Hookah Shisha (and once again I adore their moderns) simply does not make the same class of hookah...it would be like...putting a 24k gold hubcaps on a Nash Rambler. The fact is ALL hookahs look like all others, in one way or another. Seriously, look at HS Mod page. They all generally look alike (MY GOD, THEY HAVE THE SAME BASE!!!) They are all Chinese hookahs. Those bases are manufactured, and so are all the pieces, from a machine, probably by the hundreds. What kind of originality is that, if thats what you're worried about? In all honesty, the most original hookah i've ever seen in probably the Stargate. and even THAT is a "knockoff" of the original silver hookah. Medusapipes.com. Now THAT shits original.

um4r Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 does anyone out there know where i can get mint flavour from??? can you tell me a cheap website where i can get it from?? in the UK [color=darkblue][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the Reviews thread for companies. There are 2 or 3 that are located in the UK that carry mint flavors. Pretty much every brand has a mint. JaviFSU: you find a replacement yet? I can agree with others, your best bet might just be to buy a qt or something if the stem is going to run you 40 bucks. I dont think you will find a new stem for much cheaper. As far as hookahhookah hookahs go (lol) I have no idea if they are any good. Just use the mya hoses or the plastic tube ones with which ever you buy. Most hookahs wont come with washable hoses so keep the myas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaviFSU Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 i was actualy able to get the replacement for 35...a bit pricey, but w/e at least the new one will have autosealing... and don't worry i'll definitely keep the Mya hoses....the rubber tubing thing was most definitely a joke. The mya hoses i have are by far the best hoses i have ever seen for a hookah, and I will probably just keep them for whatever new hookah i get in the future.
