    Smoked commercial 30X sally D many years ago in the states. After one hit you ..........needed a sitter to take the pipe as one forgets they are holding it. Floor carpet melted into the ceiling(or appeared to do so?) but for me no euphoria just disoriented "slanted"? feeling......I never did try the quid method.

    Thanks The Mya colossus (one hose) cost $225 (not including shipping +120 that included the 2 extra hoses pictured,vortex bowl n adaptors )I bought the one hose variant as I was going to use Nammor Hoses on it anyway so it was cheaper for me to get the one hose and order two autoclose hose adapters(hose adaptor included with hookah isn't autoclose),two blue Nammor hoses and make it a 2 hose hookah. Regardless of the kind of hookah you have getting a" vortex" type bowl for it is a good idea. After all was said and done the hookah,2 nammor hoses,vortex bowl, hose adaptors +bits n pieces came to 400'ish. I ordered it from the site hookah shisha in Texas. Since my order was >$100 I had the option of getting a free smaller Mya hookah from them but I decided against it as the cost of shipping it would be even more ridiculous and I was already way overbudget.

    I don't sell hookahs. AFAIK I was unable to find one of it'stype from a domestic source online. That being said I didn't look in any hookahshops for one.Maybe an identical one is available in Australian stores? I dunno? If you choose to order a hookah it is prolly a good idea to leave out tobacco( from said hookah order anyway)as the overzealous,overfunded border security personnel could delay you getting your pipe.

    That's a wicked looking hookah btw :)

     

    Thanks

    I originally figured on getting a traditional style hookah but most of them are dedicated 1,2,3,or 4 hose models . I couldn't decide on #of hoses. Some cultures employ one hose exclusively. …. Then again much to be said for dual hose set up when entertaining to suppress bogarting. Others figure multihosed variants come at the expense of how good it draws? All I know about hookahs I read online(no practical experience really). So essentially I have no idea what I'm talking about.

    I wound up getting a "modern" style one the Mya Colossus ($225) from a site in Texas(hookah shisha) itis made in China. The advantages to the setup are the ability to convert it from a one,two,three or four hose easily if you feel like it. It accepts "auto close" hose adaptors so when using multiple hoses the people your smoking with don't have to remember to cover their hose end for you to get a decent hit. This works by a small ball bearing inside of the hose connector/valve . Thing is pretty topheavy but it works fine and the parts interchange so you can remove the top two ball stem section and set it up as a foot or so shorter hookah than its original 40 inch configuration. Out of the box it tends to lean a little bit this can be fixed by reinforcing the seal where the stem locks into the glass base by either doubling up on the "rubber band" type silicone seal (if you buy an extra one.50 cents?) Or just using electrical tape. Have yet to do this mine still leans lol.

    I got two Nammor hoses (the ones in pic) separately for it after reading about them being good online.They were $20 something each . A vortex bowl (that has a post with the holes elevated to stop the tobacco/molasses/flavor being sucked into water) is supposed to be much preferred to conventional types as it prolongs the flavor/smoke. cost $14?

    I don't have a lot of money. But sometimes an idea/pet project takes on a life of its own. Shipping >$120 makes it pretty expensive. In for a penny in for a pound. They prolly sell the same hookahs in Aus. I wasn't able to find an identical domestic one online but I didn't look in any stores. Even though it cost me an arm and a leg (by my standards anyway) thing looks pretty cool even when not in use and its always good to have a fucking gigantro waterpipe around…just in case ; )

    P.S. The cacti in the backgroud are Psycho0 hybrids.Some Cathys on the right. My patio (having an overhang) is pretty shite as a growing platform but might as well keep gardening until the sun burns out or I get struck by lightning.

    Update

    Was shipped over here fine. labeled "Waterpipe". Parcel arrived unmolested. The cost of shipping it was steep $100-ish( priority and express were the only methods offered? ) Not sure if I got overcharged on shipping. I am happy to get the pipe. Thanks for the replies.

    Years after Fred Thompson's dire warning fell upon deaf ears.........

     

     

    Ironically this is one of the few situations where a tin foil hat might aid in reducing the top of your head's thermal signature (in theory) space blanket tarps might be better.I only read this online so i don't know anything.

    seriously: I hope it leaves you alone.

    PH said - "i'v never have seen mildew on outdoor qat"

    The above statement remains true PH.

    foolishly I completley forgot that a week and a bit prior to myoriginal post the Catha had been inside for a few weeks?or so . Before that ithad always been outside until I noticed fungusknats (due to me over watering? maybe). Moved it inside to avoid my sticky traps blowing into the plant on thewindy patio. Then left em there. Eventually returned em to the patio. Those fungus knats are evil little beasties. Can't seem to get all of them to stop"moving".Never used any insecticides and don't want to I have started to put a toplayer of sand inthe pots. A couple days ago I applied a spinosad (anti-fruit flybacteria?) spray to the top of thesoil. Doesn't seem to be as many of thembut I still see one or two doing the rounds. No doubt the knats paused briefly to have a laugh at my attemptsto stop them, held an inter-pot meeting in which they voted to resettle ,regroup in my next doorneighbors flower pots and return with a vengeance. Besides that the plants aredoing very well. I treated with milk/water spray. The powder is gone.

    (I apologize for the ridiculously delayed reply I got "stuck in the mud" a little bit. Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it)

    I know how I will get rid of mine......I am going to burn it :bong: It will be difficult but much better than having DEA pigz flashbanging my crib.

    I wonder if this extends to individuals possessing jwh-018 for use in bonafide research activities (of a non-humanoid nature of course)

    There are so many laws it gets confusing. At least they don't handle your cock and ballz at Australian airports..........yet?

    I guess a skimask and rubber gloves are out of the question?

    prolly could substitute superglue on the fingers/palm and bandage your face up as few people would ask a car accident/burn victim to remove their surgical dressings? (a pair of crutches might lend credibility )

    Its like the patriot act scam........"we will make you safer trust us....if your not doing anything wrong you have nothing to worry about" mean while the govt takes another shit on ones rights.

    Is this powdery mildew? I already sprayed it with neem then washed the leaves clean after a bit.I first noticed the leaves getting deformed and a white powder. Not knowing any better I am guilty of top watering (in a way that leaves the....leaves wet maybe this is the result of doing so?. I have some sulfur based antifungal (spray) was considering using it. Catha is on 11th story porch with decent air exchange.

    What do you guys figure?
