Great great smoke, even with the 3 hoses each person gets a good drag - No complaints about this hookah at all -
I've had the hookah for close to 4 months now - When it stays airtight it smokes like a champ - Its very hard to knock over which is good - The welding on the valves is terrible, one is already starting to fall off - The cobra hoses it came with are awful because the metal in the mouthpiece starts to rust after awhile so i basically just tossed them and use all my nammor hoses - This hookah is good but it just needs to be built to last longer than it does -
Sent this half way across the USA and all I can say is that THIS is the perfect gift. I got to use it recently and it was perfect. Be sure to check the ball bearing at the hose connection - sometimes they get jammed and it stops the bubbling.
This was the first hookah I had ever purchased, in fact I still use it 6-8 times a week. Despite its few flaws (scratch on the glass base, the wobbly stand) it is a well made hookah, provided of course that you clean and maintain it. It has survived a number of drops, road trips, and parties, where it was the subject of much conversation and compliments. Next month will be the 1 yr. anniversary I purchased it and I plan on keeping it another year. This is the hookah to get if you want a reliable hookah that is impossible to tip and is good with a group of friends.
I bought this hookah about a two years ago. The first 8 months or so were awesome and it withstood some heavy smoking sessions, 4-5 times a week and with all the people walking around it in our living room, i realized it was near impossible to tip over. Shortly after 8 months, stuff started going bad with it. First, the nut on the bottom of the stem rusted and fell off, with the rusty taste lingering for awhile. Both the hoses went bad, one kinking and one cracking. The welded area at the base of the hose stem cracked and leaked smoked when drawn in. I cleaned it on a regualr basis, but it never really recovered its flavor originally it had. Fun party hookah, but in solitare, it was squeaky when turned, not airtight, and a hassle to get started up. I wouldn't buy this hookah again. I only give it a good review because of it's first 8 months and Hookah-Shisha's outstanding customer service and all the goodies that they throw in with it.
Takes awhile to get used to, but I have had this hookah for around 2 years now and I have not smoked another hookah with the same smoke. Great for big groups, impossible to tip.
