chipo Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Some friends of mine were telling me that taqseem pipes were pretty alright. I havent really smoked in one of them but they look more for show than for actual use.. Have any of you guys used one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizzyGuy Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Yeah... they have good customer service as well... and if you call or e-mail them and tell them that you're on the forum, they should even give you a bit of a discount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipo Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 great man thanks for the advice... You can get them pretty cheap at ebay though, about 100 for the big rotator one... So ill def check it out cause they really do look cool... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Actually, that eBay store is run by Taqseem. I'd say hit them up and see what kind of pricing they give you... if you are quoted a higher price, then I'd say go to eBay... it never hurts to have options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erica Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 When I worked at the Hookah bar Down here.. There was a girl who had a Stargate..I HATED THAT PIPE!!!THe black started coming over about a month after she got it.. if the water level wasnt perfect you would get water in the hoses, it starts rusting untill I broke about 6 months later.. The pipe was cleaned after every use.. by ME!! hahaThe correct water level is awefully hard to find since you cant see through the Vase..Just things to look out for.. Some people love 'em some people hate 'em... Like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 You also may NOT want to mention the forum. There was a falling out a while back...anyone else know if he still likes us enough to give a discount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Oh... sorry, I guess I could be wrong... It has been awhile since I've ordered with them so it might not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeLipinski Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 My friend owns a taqseem hookah (or I am almost positive it is... it might possibly be a cheap nockoff) and the glass part of the base separated from the bottom of the part of the base, you can still use it, you just have to be very careful. Also the most of the paint on the ashtray has came off. Another thing is that the base reaks of super glue! It's freaking disgusting. If his is a taqseem, I would just recommend getting a different hookah. He got his from a local shop lounge (which I feel sucks because they are overpriced). Hope this helps. On the flipside, I have heard good things about taqseem hookahs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 There are Chinese knock-offs of Taqseem's hookahs...not quite as good in quality, of course. If you get stuff made in China, expect someone will rip it off and sell it, I guess is the moral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancity604 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 sry to bring up an old thread but...my friend has one and it hits really nice. i was just wondering are they a hit or miss thing if you order them directly from taqseem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHookah.com Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I thought the Taqseem hookahs are made in China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But other people have ordered from him directly as well in the past, and have had problems with theirs. I think hit or miss is a good term, because there are a lot of people who never had problems, and a lot who did.I guess the nice thing about dealing directly with Taqseem is that he offered to replace the broken pieces at no charge.

ninepound Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 (edited) 've been looking into getting a Stargate for a while, but i've also heard quite a bit of bad about them. I'm not sure if this banter is about the Taqseem knockoffs, or the Taqseems themselves. How can I get a pipe directly from Taqseem? I haven't had any luck with authorized retailers in my area. And has anyone had any experiences, good or bad, with an authentic Taqseem? Edited January 28, 2007 by ninepound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And has anyone had any experiences, good or bad, with an authentic Taqseem?Uh.. I talked a bit about the company in the post right above yours... Try using the search for Taqseem. You'll come across all different sorts of topics. Like I said, a lot of people are very happy with their Stargates, while the others have had problems with theirs. Taqseem was a regular on this board a while ago, and at that time you could email him and get one that way. Not postitive if he still sells them this way, but it couldn't hurt to contact him atleast.Email should still be: sales@taqseem.comJust let him know you heard about the stargate on the forum, and he MIGHT give you a slight discount. Like I said, this isn't set in stone but last time I heard people bought stuff from him, he showd a bit of love. If you have any specific questions about the Stargate, I'm sure I could field some questions on it. Send me a PM if you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
