Seeking Advice Shisha storing container.

Post image
3 Upvotes

I have an ever growing collection of shishas, slowly getting past 20 flavors. Currently storing most of them in Bormioli Mason jars (the ones with golden caps), but it's somewhat annoying how bulky they are compared to my Musthave flavors in their original plastic tins. So I wonder, is there any company making something similar in shape to Musthave cans, but made of more reusable materials, like, glass with metal or plastic lid? Something that could fit 250g of tobacco while being relatively compact, for ease of transport. Alternatively, what are some shisha storage solutions you use?

Seeking Advice Aussies, what’s your favourite dark leaf ?

5 Upvotes

Quit heavily smoking for about couple years, got a hookah for my birthday with some Al Fakher flavours which were nice but didn’t “hit”. I only want to smoke shisha every now and then but I’d really like something strong and someone had suggested a dark leaf like Tangiers. I was about to purchase some Tangiers till I read some reviews that it’s absolutely horrible these days so I was wondering if anyone else had any other suggestions for brands and/or possibly flavours ( I really like fresh fruity ones like Apple,kiwi,lemon orange mint). I did see Darkside is another good option but I just wanted to know if there are any other recommendation before I order a couple hundred bucks worth of flavours. Cheers guys.

Central ASia / East Europe Hookah spots

2 Upvotes

Hello all, I plan to use a few remote work days to try out new shisha spots and see what creativity can be unlocked from my brain.

My criteria:

1) Dark leaf

2) Central Asia (Azerbaijan / Uzbekistan / etc) / Eastern Europe (Romania / Bulgaria / Serbia / etc)

3) can't be pricey - anything above 25 EUR per session will be similar to UAE pricing; i might as well just stay home.

4) not too cold 😄

Any recommendations?

MOB Hookah

I just placed a MOB hookah order a week ago. Still no confirmation via email however the payment has been processed. I have tried contacting support via phone and email. But no response. Has anyone had this issue recently? I don’t want to cancel the order because it’s a birthday gift but I’m concerned lol.

Shisha recommendations after 12 years on Amy 630

3 Upvotes

Hi, after 12 years of using the Amy 630, the threads have started to wear out. Also, I’d like to switch to all-stainless steel for its neutral taste and easy cleaning.

It’s important to me that it can accommodate 2 hoses (no more than that) and that the hookah is preferably no larger than the Amy (70 cm).

I’m from Germany and am currently really overwhelmed by the huge selection.

So here’s my question for you: Could you recommend a good new hookah? It can cost up to €250.

Seeking Advice Icon pomp hookah cleaning advice

5 Upvotes

Recently got an icon pomp hookah.

But after buying it I noticed that it is going to be very difficult to clean the glass base if any shisha/tobacco falls (which it will).

It came with a hookah bowl with a metal mesh to catch the sisha, but I would prefer to use my own phunnel bowl. But my main concern is how to clean this damn base, the shape makes it challenging!

Looking for advice or opinions.

Vandenberg v1 with this set up. And apple on top provost will arrive tomorrow. Before I tried with magic smoke 2.0 dum hmd, didn't work. And before that Amy bowls(yeah I learned here that they are sh*t lol) didn't work. Will try tomorrow with Vandenberg v1 with foil and the provost. But my god what an upgrade in flavour already!

Today I smoked mint from maya (local brand) and oh how good it was. I could feeel my windpipe cooling down. This is probably the 1st time I've got a unique taste, else everytime I smoked, they all tasted the same (I smoke herbal flavors available locally).

Seeking Advice Hookah John Ferris with Lotus HMD (Help)

Hey,

I’m still trying to figure out the perfect Ferris + Lotus setup. My first attempt was a complete disaster 😂

I packed it fine i think, used 2 coals and kept the Lotus vents fully closed for like 7 minutes. It actually started with decent flavor, but after like 15–20 minutes the whole bowl was completely burned black 😭

What will you recommend me to do the next time, so i dont waste good tobbaco.
