The King Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Well you said you would like multiple hoses, are you going to be smoking mostly with atleast one friend? For me, I have never smoked alone, so I'm glad I got a 2 hose, and If you wanna smoke alone you can use a plug. Well I'll reccomend one of these, either one you get: two FREE packs of "premium" tobacco, two FREE rolls of coals, FREE bowl screen, FREE filters, FREE mouth tips, FREE traditional windcover, and FREE carrying case are includedIt wouldn't let me post the links, so just take the space out between hookah- shisha....This one has autoseal 75 dollarshttp://www.hookah- shisha.com/store/pc/configurePrd.asp?idcategory=16&idproduct=172://http://www.hookah- shisha.com/store...p;idproduct=172://http://www.hookah- shisha.com/store...p;idproduct=172://http://www.hookah- shisha.com/store...p;idproduct=172://http://www.hookah- shisha.com/store...p;idproduct=172OR67 dollarshttp://www.hookah- shisha.com/store/pc/configurePrd.asp?idcategory=7&idproduct=94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imagelessdude Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Youre gonna need more than 50g of shisha. 50g will last no more than a week at the very most haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofdavid Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 If you are wanting suggestions for good retailers that are very active within the hookah forums and offer very good customer service, I would go with the recommendations of what a lot of other people are saying. Plus, many retailers offer a hookah forum discount. Depending on how much you want to spend and what type of hookah you want, and how many hoses kind of depends on where I would order the hookahs. There are so many different kinds of pipes... some like classical/traditional Egyptian pipes, some like Modern Egyptian-style pipes like what Mya Saray makes... and some like both.Syrians exist but are harder to come by, it seems... and less and less of them are made with a solid brass core. www.mnhookahs.com is by far one of my favorite retailers. I place an order and receive it 2 or 3 days. I've also had positive experiences with www.hookah-shisha.com and www.socialsmoke.com are reputable retailers.I would stay away from most eBay vendors, and also www.southsmoke.com . Please check our forum review section for feedback on retailers.I would also ditch the hookah foil and just stick to using regular old aluminum foil. It is much cheaper and will last much longer.

That's 150g so it'd last him more than a week, but yeah he definitely should get more.Hey nic, I recommend you get a medium 1 hoser from one of the previously mentioned sites. An egyptian would probably be the way to go. Oh and don't waste your money on hookah foil, you can more than that get regular aluminum foil for wal-mart for 67 cents, and it works just as good. I'd say concentrate on getting more shisha. Order like 5 50g pack flavors you'd think you would like, or try to find a site that has sampler packs. If you want to spend no more than $100, your best bet is buying a hookah that doesn't cost more than $60, and then spending $20-25 on shisha, and the remainder will be shipping costs. Also, like zero said, there are discount codes on the forums which can save you money on those sites (usually 10-15% off) so search for discount codes on here. Hope that helps.

cypherkk Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 actually most hookah places have starter packages. Look around. MNhookah, don't know if they have starters but they are reputable to say the least.same with socialsmokehookahcompany has great deals on startersets, but I heard their site may be having issuesmy neighbors got stuff from smokinghookah, got a great deal on an egyptian and shisha as well.
