New Hookah


Recommended Posts

well i want to get a syrian hookah and about every site is sold out...but i wanted a Glyph or a chiller hookah but everywhere is sold out....so i found a 31in syrian blue hookah on smoking hookah.com (wish i could link but it wont let me) and i was wondering if anyone has ordered from this site to see if its any good?? and has anyone smoked out of this just to wonder how it is?? but i like how i can turn it into a 2 hose hookah...because i want to get a 2 or 3 hose because i always smoke with a bunch of my friends so....so any opinions about it would be great

I have a brass stem syrian. I've never had any problems with anything like that. The brass does oxidize, but it's not bad for you. Hookahs have been made out of brass for centuries (?). I'm not sure about the exact time, but I know that brass was once the prime material for hookah stems.

Brass doesn't rust.

In any case, Social Smoke has a few Syrians left, although far less than I remember seeing a couple months back. Edited by Ralleac

No, but it does oxidize and corrode... not a big difference. Brass is more resistant to corrosion than steel, because the oxidization process of tarnishing takes longer than the oxidization process of rusting. Brass is also more reactive than steel, so a brass hookah will tarnish much easier than a steel hookah will rust.

So what it comes down to is this. A poorly-cared for brass hookah will outlive a poorly-cared for steel hookah, but an extremely well-cared for steel hookah will outlive an extremely well-cared for brass hookah.

Pick your poison.
