Donnie Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hello all,Does anyone know if this shisha is worth buying? I am seriously considering getting it. I never heard of the shisha king brand, any idea if its quality? http://www.hookahshop.co.uk/tall-timur-75c...oof-p-1018.htmlThank you for your help.

Tobacco is called shisha by a whole lot of people. I personally learned it that way, and am too lazy to unlearn that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly, where did you get this distinction between hookah and shisha from? your utterly wrong! so perhaps before you try to correct someone, you should do some more research. And thirdly, if you have nothing productive to say, please stay away. And I mean this in the nicest possiable way. Ta da for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its one of those things its a word that isnt from our language we take to mean one thing, even if it is meant to mean something else entirely. Technically not wrong, but not right either. Its been heavily argued before one here XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 The pipe is a shisha, Nargila,hubbly bubbly, or hookah. The tobacco can be shisha or moussel as well. Lets stay on topic here folks. No I've never heard of that particular brand before. Looks like a standard eqyptian to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ta da for now.Well, if were really going to argue semantics you are using "your" in the place of "you're".And the guy with 8 posts tends to be a noobie as I also am. You also have no idea how many posts like yours come through, so the standard response tends to be use the search button and checkt he review forum. I also dont think my post was counter productive, but take it how you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perrj99 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Someone needs to do some sand-removal from their box if they're that worried about getting corrected by a term that varies (world) regionally, especially while on an English-speaking forum (where as we English-speakin' folk is simple and gets them words wrong).Ta da.- John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I will answer the guys question.. even if no one else will.I have a not dissimilar pipe. It's good quality and worth a shot.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathuv Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 shisha king looks like a good quality pipe. talk to kam, i think they use shisha king in some cafes. Hookahshop is a great site though, i've never ordered but Kam was very helpful and friendly whenever i asked him something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMike Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Yeh, looks like a very nice pipe, i've got no experience of them personally but i would reccomend you buying one from this page instead as the hoses they come with are alot better from what i hear and other than that they seem to be the same pipe.

jfaltous Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 (edited) I dated some British chick who said "ta" all the time, and wrote it in text messages and all... it always bugged the hell out of me.Edit: now that I think about it though, she was saying that meaning "thank you" Edited January 10, 2008 by jfaltous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's impossible to tell the quality of the base from the pic, but if it's handmade then there's going to be some that are good and some that aren't so it's up to luck (a bit). That hookah/shisha/whatever comes out to about $90 US. For that price you could find a nice KM or MZ if you like Egyptian.That being said, and since I know nothing of the brand, that hookah/shisha/whatever could be the best damn hookah on the market and it's just that no-one knows about it. So I don't know. If you really like the way it looks and you can't find one that you like from a better known brand then go for it. If you clean it well then it should last regardless of the brand. Then you'd also be able to let us know about the quality of the brand.I wouldn't listen to what they say about rust-proofing the coils in the hose though. I'd get a nammor or razan ASAP.
