Yup I guess I need to be counted in this; I still have a closet full of pipes xD I admit I want to get to smoking hookah again, but sadly I have neither the time, energy, nor money. I hope once I move out on my own I can get back into it. I loved this stuff, and this place. Its sad to come back and see how dead this place is becoming :( I know why though, the world is hooked on vaping. I say that as I sit here and smoke some Southern Freeze out of my Aspire K1, hooked onto my Eleaf iStick xP Hookah isn't the "new" trend in smoking anymore, and I've seen soo many amazing hookah bars close because of it, and in their place (and I mean that quite literally in one case) vaping shops sprout up.   If I can swing it, I hope to open a combo vape/hookah/bar thing in about 2-3 years. That is as long as the FDA doesn't screw me over xP Funny enough, now that big tobacco and the FDA are concentrating on vaping, it seems our long held passion is out of the firing line.

If you want to go a bit bigger, this is what I just got and am in love with it: http://deviantartgear.deviantart.com/art/dA-PRO-Camera-Bag-144764711 Don't let the size get you thought, its not as big as it looks, but with a bit of tweaking can work as an everyday carry backpack, which is what I do. I keep all my normal needed items, the camera and all its gear (with 2 lenses, one off, one on) and its quite light, and has some serious padding for fall protection. I carry my camera everywhere and don't worry at all... Oh, and lurk lurk lurk

None yet. few things came up and havent gotten to smoke yet, will let everyone know here soon

Still haven't gotten to use it just yet. And yea it does look aswesome. As for the screen, i don't remember what the ones for Smileys looked like, but I don't know how well I am going to like it. Most of what holds it on is apparently contact with the tobacco I should be getting a chance to smoke it tonight or tomorrow.

Get it all put together, then with the bowl still off, put your hand over the top where the bowl would sit, and take a pull on the hose. You should not get any air coming through. If there is no leak then you will feel a pull at your hand, thats it. You would be surprised where leaks can form.

Just got my little package in from HookahCousins today. Tarik sent me one of there new Glass Phunnel bowls to try. It looks awesome, and feels very sturdy. Also got a few other little extras. I will be posting some reviews of them once I get a chance to pack a bowl, either tonight or tomorrow night. For now, Pictures!!

[/quote] I think it looks amazing, I love that open style. I've even been considering an Inhale or Sahara Smoke one just to get that type of style But the base is a Mya from what I can tell, so your good there. I have never smoked off an Inhale, so i don't know how well they work. But it should at least smoke decently, as long as there are no air leaks. And if there are its fairly easy to fix [/quote] Thanks for the info , I have opened the bits up and the workmanship is not too bad, the threads are well made, the welds are fairly good and I cannot see the stem having too many welds inside. the base is really steady and is a screw in, what I did to improve it was some thread tape on all the threads, better O rings and checked that there are no airleaks now . I found a downstem from one of the online stores and will feedback on how well it smokes once I have this. I will open another topic about my favourite flavours and ask about some new ones. [/quote] Quick note I was wrong about the base. I got to looking at it closer and the design doesn't match with Mya. Its an Inhale one I think. But still it looks solid, and as you said the stem looks good. I say its a good looking hookah, and if it smokes great, then your good to go

You would need to find either a glass blower or someone who is really good with clay. Either way you need to find a good artist to produce it, and make friends if you want to make it for mass distribution.

[quote name='Chaz1337' timestamp='1305238436' post='509259'] Check out the Nammor Hookah's section on hookah-shisha I bet they would have something you would like plus they come with glass bases! [/quote] Hey acrylic bases are awesome. I love mine, and how durable it is. The Mini Mya is a great little hookah, and I am a big fan of Mya's and love 'em to death, will be a great hookah for ya And even though you have switched off the one in the first post, you can get (it should come with it) a rubber stop to plug the unused ports when smoking a multi hose hookah
