0 chernobyl 1,136 Report post Posted January 18, 2017 Smoking a simple pack of Nakhla Mint. I'm waiting for my new bowl to arrive. I decided to go with the Samsaris Vitria 2. My original Samsaris(received it shortly after they were released) is destroyed! When they warned not to use more than two coals they really meant it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 chitand 59 Report post Posted January 21, 2017 So I wanted to smoke a bowl before going out to see an old friend and I ended up with an interesting mix to the say the least. I didn't have enough kashmir peach to pack it in my mini symphony bowl so I mixed with trifecta vanilla 40 k peach, 60 vanilla in a harmony bowl. I figured peaches n cream with a dash of kashmir wouldn't be too bad....it turned out not to be too bad after all. Not the best mix but not bad either. The shit I do not to waste tobacco lol 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 chernobyl 1,136 Report post Posted January 21, 2017 Wow, that looks nice! How was the smoke session?It's fantastic. A light pack of AF was able to last for two rounds of coals. It's nice being about to see the shisha from the side of the bowl. It's like a shisha fuel gauge. My only complaint so far is it add a bit of restriction to the airflow.

0 dd0723 1,970 Report post Posted January 25, 2017 Lmao, gotta teach him well! And as for the AF all glass hookah it does and it doesn't cook the shisha all the way through. It gets about half way through but because the glass coal screen you lift it up by the peg, set it in the coal tray, and "stir it up". And it cooks all the shisha. Heat management was tricky to understand with it but once you get it, this hookah is the best and easiest to clean, plus the high lip on the coal tray up top allows for easily walking around with your hookah.The coals are pretty hard to knock off of it, it doesn't take up much table space, it's not hard to see over, clean up is a breeze. It's probably my favorite piece I ownSent from my iPhone using Hookah.org mobile appMaybe that's what I have to do with my heavy hitter glass bowl; stir the shisha half way so it Cook's all the way through.

0 chernobyl 1,136 Report post Posted January 25, 2017 Honni, is that a new Kaloud Lotus? I didn't know they added a second handleSent from my Pixel using Hookah.org mobile appWas it worth the money?Sent from my iPad using Hookah.org mobile appSo far, yes it is. It uses a small amount of shisha, though you can easily over pack or dense pack. Shisha burns evenly and fairly thoroughly ( a bit of waste but less than other bowls). I'm curious about how well the silicone will survive. The original Samaris was not very durable, but I hope that the silicone not being directly heated like with the original will change that.

Both are Chinese knock off sites dedicated to cutting corners haha. Personally I wouldn't because who knows what minerals come out in high heat. Plus kaloud is releasing a new product on the 2nd could be an updated lotus. I'd say get an oduman ignis if you're looking for something new. Runs about 30 on eBay and can fit 3 cubes plus has numbs on the bottom designed to keep air going to your charcoal Sent from my iPhone using Hookah.org mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Honni 139 Report post Posted January 25, 2017 That Starbuzz head is easily one of my favorites, it disperses heat nice and evenly, I think the spire contact point helps that too but it's the perfect amount of shisha and after my 3rd grape bowl I can already taste the flavor intensifying.Smoking in the bath is the bomb, i do it maybe once a month and just soak so I can give myself a pedicure of sorts... as a professional rollerblader I have fucked up toes lol And yes it's a knockoff louts, I payed like $7 shipped from china but I like that it has the second handle although when it's heated properly, the silicone only gives you about one second of hold time but that's enough to set the HMD in the coal tray and stir the shisha or whatever you may need to do.Sent from my iPhone using Hookah.org mobile appGot it on eBay.Sent from my iPhone using Hookah.org mobile app 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I had an unglazed bowl I would mostly smoke mint from it, so that any flavor can get that minty undertone. I was looking at them on Aliexpress last night after Dude mentioned it. They have a knockoff Lotus and Samsaris Vitria combo for $16 . I want to get it so that I can compare the original to the knockoff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was more curious about the quality of the piece, how its machined, if the quality of the metal is decent, etc. I'm assuming the silicone isn't going to be the greatest but who knows. I've never actually used a Harmony and the only name brand bowl I own is the Samsaris. Perhaps my bowl collection will need to grow to accommodate the Harmony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At first is was fantastic and it always smoked wonderfully but the silicone just wasn't durable. The new one is better, but only time will tell about the durability. My sessions go for about 1-2.5 hours with it. Although I tend to do denser packs or even topping it off mid session, I will swap anything completely burnt and put new shisha in.
