The Super List Of Crappy Hookahs...


Recommended Posts

I thought this would be kind of fun...

If any of you can think of pipes that you would NEVER EVER SUGGEST Newbs buying put them in this thread...




Don't forget! This is all prefernce... but for the most part we can all agree which ones are reaaaallly bad...

So list 'em!



The Pumpkin



The Stargate

Zero,

depending on who made it (theres several if not many manufacturers out there) there have bee multiple problems with the clear acrylic piece in the vase coming unglued and rusting of parts over an rather short period of time.

A hit and miss problem.... but a noteable trait.

Chinese made Nour brand.


The glass is so cheap that the threeaded collar pulls right out, with shards of glass still glued to it. And the hose had a blob of hot melt glue blocking most of the airflow.

I have a pumpkin! And it's very good actually..Once you set it up right you can get it good


Yeah, I knew a guy who had the pumpkin, too. He made the BEST Skittles mixes ever! It hit like a champ, then the vase broke. So sad, I liked it sad.gif

I never considered my Stargate to be that bad at all. In fact, I really liked it and only sold it 'cause I was hankering for something new. I've read about lots and lots and lots of problems people have had with them, but I never had any. ? ph34r.gif

I have one and I think it works very well. You just have to know how much water and ice to put in, and get the coals just right. I will agree it is very arduous to set up, but once you get it right it is a perfect one person pipe.

why is the pumpkin considered bad?


Very small base, hard to keep the water from going into the hose

I agree with Lake. QTs are definitely do not buy. Anything made of coated aluminum, Like Myas, Group Elegance and Mitsubas, don't buy. Pipes made of coated aluminum are crummy and overpriced.

How does this thread work? Lake says he doesn't like QTs, you can't say his opinion is wrong...there is no universal list of pipes nobody likes, just is there is no brand of tobacco everybody hates or everyone loves. Lake doesn't love QTs and I find them a curiosity like foot fungus...they are lots of places, but I try to keep them away from me. Still love ya, Erica.

Anything with a persian "valve system" is utterly useless until you drill out the Valves. Mitusba hoses are shittier then there hookahs. Either they fall apart or they dont draw better then a soda straw.

Mya is good but I have a gripe about them, they just dont clean well. Even cheapo chinese hookahs have cleaning kits, but not Mya. Center stem can be so small you need a rifle cleaning kit to work. Edited by Scarecrow

why do you say no QTs? i love my QT because it hits really well(with a little modification) and is very stable so it wont tip.

the problems i see.. some thin glass, and the smoke chamber will NOT clear.. but it clears enough for me. i havnt had problems with water in my hose yet, i just test before i smoke. what else is wrong with them?

ill note i really want a mya acrylic now for some reason, i just thing the base on those is going to be too light and it will tip easily sad.gif


edit: i do agree, mya hookahs arent exactly the best first hookah. they are a bitch to clean unless you know what youre doing and are willing to take your time. my first was an egyptian and it worked great, but i wish it was bigger.
our big 3 hose egyptian is a horrible knockoff and was a piece of shit. im sure a decent egyp would be nice though. i also love rotators lol... they dont smoke the best but meh. they rotate! Edited by Evil_Spork
