yes along with gst/pst

i love BC but the taxes are ruthless

[sh4un]

another thing is u dont light shisha with a lighter
u put a coal on the bowl for it 2 burn

if u want come 2 delta this weekend and ill blaze a bowl with u if u wanna try it b4 u get it

[TrYpTaMiNe]

hmm, where do i get these coals? how expensive are they?

[sh4un]

u can get them @ the same places i told u about b4
they're pretty cheap

and they dont have a duty fee on them wen ordered online
@least mine didnt i actually just got 200 in the mail 2day :D
and that was about $40 canadian

i only use one or 2 per bowl
a bowl of shish smokes for like an hour
so 200 coals is a huge amount heh

ull love the coal idea, u lite it once let it sit on top
and u sit back and relax no lighting after involved.

dont get me wrong tho all these things do add up in price.
shisha is by no means a cheap habit.

for the actual tobacco u shood find some friends that enjoy it aswell and all pitch on a stash. . . get them 2 pitch on the coal aswell. . .
just a suggestion 2 save some $

[TrYpTaMiNe]

hmm, like.. i just purchased 250 grams of shisha as well, how long would that lost?

[TrYpTaMiNe]

im thinking about cancelling both orders and looking for a local store, because i dunno, i have like... 800$ right now, but i dunno, i need to try it first, so hmm, are you going to godspeed?

[TrYpTaMiNe]

oh i thought u spent 800$ on everything i was like wow!
no 80 is not 2 much for a hookah
its actually a good price
u got a pic of the one u chose???

i spent close to 400 on my big one, i got ripped off there seein as i cooda got it for 200online

[sh4un]

im not sure wat the duty fee is
i think its 4% of the retail price or sumthing

i honestly am not sure how 2 figure it out
then gst and pst is also charged for bc taxes
thats like 14.5% combined

[TrYpTaMiNe]

http://www.hookahcompany.com/19_quot_small_20_prd1.htmi actually just talked to a buddy who buys from this guy and apparantly hes awesome, so that sounds good :) ill get some coals, shisha, and the hookah haha

[sh4un]

it seems that your sold on gettin one b4 u try it

check this out
http://hookahbros.com/catalog/produc...products_id=55

for 149$
US u get 8 rolls of coal 10 per roll so 80 coals
250g of shisha

with duty and gst it shood run around hmmm 250canadian

thats a random guess so i cood be way off

2 give u an idea
( i like the look of that hookah so i chose that one as an xample but they have alot more 2 offer)

ive never ordered from they're site but they're one of the largest hookah companies.

[sh4un]

ok now that i see wat u want those are the average price for everything so if your sold on the idea the site seems good for everything.

[BrownThug]

i ahve the same hookah as the caterpillar in alice in wonderland :)

i buy tubs of tobacco from a friend in anaheim who gets it forl iek $5 for a fat ass 500g tub

if i were you i woudl NOT order it over the itneret....get it in person if you can still cancel it..

and also make sure if you ever msoke weed in it you mix weed and tobacco together so it all sticks together and shit then put it in the bowl and smoek it with the coal liek you normally would...its an insane high

[TrYpTaMiNe]

yah im getting that, and the shisha and some coals from there, but yah a friend has a bunch of shit from him and apparantly hes good, so im excited haha, how long will 250g of shisha last? but im gettin a alrite deal right?

[sh4un]

absolutly nuthin wrong with ording online, i do it all the time. not everyone has a hookup like that. . .
and yes if your mixing it with weed mix it up good if you just layer it, it will taste like ass.

as for the deal you got that is the average online price so u didnt get a steal but @ the same time u didnt get ripped off. and dont be to shocked wen u get the next bill wen its shipped 2 you, pst/gst and a duty does add up.
check the papers u get 2 make sure its all correct tho, they fucked up mine once...

now i dont know how often your gunna be blazing this stuff so its hard 2 say how long it will last. thats like asking how long an ounce of pot lasts sum1 lol.
250g is a decent amount but its way heavier then weed. its about 4-5 smoke packs full, 2 give u an idea of how much

also every brand of shisha is different. . . some will be stronger and better tasting where some mite be weak.

ive only tryed saet safa and al fakher
both were quite tastey but al fakher was definitly my fav of the 2 hands down
the place i get my shish online has like 16 dif flavours of al fakher.
hah i love saying that name "al fakher" ill fuck her
hahaha

[TrYpTaMiNe]

well, yah i ordered the
Apple Abu Haitham Shisha


Abu Haitam Apple is a high grade shisha from Riyadh Saudi Arabia. It has quality packaging and comes in 250g only. It smokes well for all styles.

good? i also see beside it..
Apple Al Fakher Shisha

Single apple is a standard flavor served at hookah bars and smokes well with all styles. 13$ US for 250 grams


edit: hey dude how much would the duty costs cost.....? like a rough estimate, like 150? because thats insane:P i dont mind paying like 40, i can afford it i guess, but how much duty fee's do i have to pay? and for shisha? coals?

[Kelster]

just curious, how many bowls do you guys smoke a day?



$80 for a hookah is a decent price, most the ones i've seen round here are over $100. my bf ordered shisha from over the net and he said it tasted like shit, don't remember what site it was tho. coals cost like $2 a roll around town, not hard too get those. shisha tho, is a bitch if you're not persian.
most stores sell it illegally, smuggling it into canada to avoid being taxed for tabacco. so if they don't know you they may not sell it too you to avoid getting in trouble. the places like tea houses that sell it openly charge so much for the tobacco cause they have to compensate for the tobacco duty they pay at the border. either way, good luck finding tobacco and coals in chilliwack.


personaly i hate the whole shisha hookah thing. i think it fucking stinks, kinda like musty toilet cleaner. and the coals, they make a fucking mess, when you light the coals they kinda spark leaving black dust everywhere. the tinfoil ends up being all over the place and the dog keeps eating it. and if you end up getting tobacco it's a bitch to clean, it's sticky.
imo shisha tobacco is just as bad as cigarettes, but because it doesn't have the bad rep that cigs get people tend too justify smoking the stuff. sick.

[TrYpTaMiNe]

^^ sounds like you have had some bad experiences hehe

[Kelster]

no just my boyfriend smokes it way too much and it's bad for our health and we end up stinking like old lady aerosol.


read this:
"The use of charcoal in the bowl generates a rather high ratio of carbon monoxyde. It is therefore preferable to smoke in a well aerated place. Certainly, by "washing" the smoke, the narghile clears the latter of a certain number of harmful constituents as acroléine, aldehydes and others responsible for cancers. However, the lowering of the nicotine rate, around which a sort of "myth" has been built, was recently questioned by a study. The latter established that the quantity of the alkaloid retained in water remains relative, especially when the smoker titrates, in other words, proportions, unconsciously, her or his smoke. Anyway, in the absence of definitive results, solutions exist or remain to be found in order to make narghile even more "hygienic". For example, an electrical ignition system could possibly eliminate the carbon monoxyde production and absorption risk caused by the glowing embers. As for mouth-to-mouth possible contamination, however often exaggerated, disposable plastic nozzles are nowadays widespread."

"Surgeon General Warning
Smoking shisha tobacco is not a safe alternative to smoking cigarettes. Shisha tobacco can cause lung cancer and heart disease. Shisha smoking can cause cancers of the mouth and throat, even if you do not inhale. Shisha smoking increases the risk of infertility, stillbirth and low birth weight."

[mapleleaf4ever]

^ That is the risk with smoking anything really. At least you won't find Arsenic, DDT and all that other fun stuff in Shisha.

[TrYpTaMiNe]

low birth weight? i dont want my kid that comes out of my ass to be abnormal!

[lou_belle]

Whenever I smoke my nargile I get a tummy ache*
