Egyptian Furat?

[Hot Air]

I just ordered an Egyptian Furat 16" hookah from Hookah-Shisha.com and am really excited. Just wondering what everyone else thinks of this hookah, I know I shouldn't expect the best because it's a $35 hookah but my main concern is that I'm looking for a simple hookah for a beginner on a budget. My second concern is that the stem shouldn't rust like my cheap chinese hookah purchased from a local store. I read somewhere on here or another site that Egyptian is a good brand. Oh, I also bought a Nammor Hose from H-S because I've read a lot of good things about it and also that it doesn't rust if you try to clean it (hence, washable).

So be honest - did I make a good decision?

Eh.You probably got have done better with a Mya Petite or QT but if its made of stainless steel and its really Egyptian it should be ok

It's not gonna rust. I had the Furat and the only downside is that it's a restricted draw. And that's only a downside for me, because some of my friends prefare tighter draws.

As long as its stainless you should be okay. My only other $0.02 is that some people have been complaining about a decline in the quality of nammor hoses lately but I haven't had one so I don't know.

$35 will (almost) buy a 28" Nour from Hookahstore. http://www.hookahstore.com/hookahs-n...s-c-28_68.html
Oh well, there's always next time.

I actually saw that when I was shopping around, but the problem is I have to smoke outside on the front porch in an area where most people would mistake me for smoking illegal substances (not to mention my living right next to a gas station where police always hang out), so it was necessary for me to get a small one that can hide inconspicuously behind the bushes. That isn't to say I couldn't explain to them what a hookah is, but I'd just rather not get any attention drawn to me at all. It'd also be a pain dragging a large one around inside and out and cleaning it in my tiny sink.

I've read a lot of posts as of lately stating that the nammor has gone to shit. I would recommend a fancy hose and Nogoom from 5star

I have that Hookah. I got it free when I bought my Nammor Euphrates. Here are some things I found about it:
1. The ball bearing rusts, get a plastic one on your next shisha or coals order.
2. The plastic hose is easy to clean, but flimsy, but you can get a better hose later.
3. Make sure the clay bowl has 5 holes that go all the way through. Mine did not, so I took a picture of it and they gave me 4$ in points towards my next purchase, which was cool. Buy the Medium Vortex bowl for 9$, its really worth it. I know some people say its really cheap and chinese made etc, but I have smoked around 10 bowls so far, with 3 rounds of coals on each and the only thing I noticed is that the bowl gets brown spots I can't scrub off. Doesn't seem to affect performance or add any nasty taste.
4. Don't wash the outside of the vase with dishwashing liquid, just rinse it. The dye came off on mine when I washed it with warm water and soap.
5. Enjoy smoking!!!!
