bradfordr Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Regarding the photo of the two bowls being packed: Normally I put way more tobacco in a bowl than that, did you put less because smaller hookahs need less tobacco? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JesusDoesVegas Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 (edited) I just came here to post this thread. Ive had my bam for a few days now and Ive been trying things with it every time. I know this is in the general area, but I may as well put my review here, as the thread already exists. MYA BambinoAppearanceThe stem is gorgeous, and the base is very nice. I got the green one...I like green. It does look a bit goofy with my large funnel bowl on top of it, but that doesn't really bother me.Quality ControlThe thing is built heavy. Everything feels solid, and contrary to forum speculation, the base is quite steady... I don't see this tipping any time soon. The bowl that came with it did seem a little cheap. It is very small, and seems rather lightweight... I'm scared I'll break it. The release valve is pretty useless. I don't ever use this so its not a big deal for me, however looking at the design, I think it would be possible to alleviate the issue but putting a partition in the stem chamber like so... (sorry for the crappy picture, I hope someone can decipher this)This would cause proper air flow to allow the valve to work properly. The problem is that when you blow out of the hose, air travels directly across to the release valve, so nothing is cleared. I have no idea how someone would install this mod... I've got the ideas, I'll leave the action to you guys. SmokabilityThis one took me a bit to figure out. The pipe I'm used to is a 28" syrian with an ice chamber. I load the thing up with ice in the base, and with the ice chamber full, the smoke its always cold smooth. The problem I was getting with the bam is that the smoke tends to feel hot after about a half hour... its was like smoking humidity. I tried putting ice in the base, but the opening is a bit small, so I had to crush it all up (causing it to melt quicker). Next I tried to sit the whole thing in a big bowl full of ice. This did a bit to help, but I decided my problem had more to do with my heat management. With my syrian I use two quicklites (positioned at opposite ends of the bowl rotated regularly), but I've found that with the bam, I get better results with one and a half. After a little experimentation, it smokes great. CleanupThe reason I got this little guy. Takes no time at all. Take it to the sink, squirt a little dish soap in the stem and in the vase and go. One annoying thing is that theres a little bump inside the stem. I have no idea what this bump is (Erica... does yours have this?) but it makes running a stem brush through it a bit difficult. Another nice thing is that its small size makes it easy to toss into the dish washer. Overall, I like it allot. I will be using this as my solo session hookah. The quick cleanup time makes it allot more convenient than my syrian. Edited January 15, 2007 by JesusDoesVegas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiley Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 When are you going to your MOMS? Maybe we could meet you there or maybe you all could come down to Tucson for a over night. Then we all could to the Buffet Barr Smoke Feast O7. I can hook you and who ever is comeing with rooms. My buddy works ar inn suites. Let us know. Smoke Feast 2007 Sanoran Desert Style. Erica that gives me a Idea. Lets have our owm Desert get together like they did in Texas. Az smokers hang out together smoke. I think this would be fun. Figure out how many are of age to drink. The majority wins. What do you think?Smileyps everyone all the states that surround Az. Get together for a Giant Smoke out. We all meet at a park get a party permit But I bet someone will put this shit on TV. The news or something.LOL sorry getting out of hand. But really lets do this.Smiley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
