Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    The Hookah Thread

    I would like to see how many of our fellow members enjoy smoking hookah, arghile, nargila.. or whatever else you may call it. Sure, it was "popular" in Los Angeles years ago, when little kids would go to "The Spot" to smoke but I have always just enjoyed it at my own house.

    I hardly ever smoke mine but I don't mind lighting it up every now and then. I was just wondering if you guys would like to share whether or not you own one. If you do, I was wondering what brands and flavors of tobacco you use, what brand of charcoal, and any tips you may have for a better smoking session.

    I own a Bohemian Glass Hookah. The hose I use is the one that came with it because I can't find a better one. I don't like the hose at all because it leaks and is really cheap. I'm currently on the look for the "best" hose, something not fancy at all, something that is durable and is made for smoking, not for looks.

    I currently use Al Fakher tobacco because of their wide selection of flavors and the fact that they're actual pretty good. I am considering switching to a better brand, something with a better variety in flavors. I am also on the look out for that as well. I typically smoke once a month or even less, depending on who is around me. I really need to change my hose and bowl because they're really cheap.

    Please, share.

    I enjoy smoking Hookah alot, thats all I did when I was in ArMeNiA for 2 weeks. Currently I dont own one but should consider buying one since I do enjoy it. I like apple flavor & bubble gum.

      Al Fakher's Coconut flavor is incredible. Not one of my friends or family wanted to try it when I first introduced it. Now, that's all they ask for.

        I really havent had the chance to try any other flavors. I go to a hookah spot with my friend on ventura blvd... (not the spot) but next time I go I will tRy the coconut flavor... thanks for the heads up. It's so funny because I was never into hookah until I went to Armenia... & now I'm a regular. Do you know how much it costs to buy hookah & all the extra stuff.

          Re: The Hookah Thread

          For a pretty good hookah, it's anywhere from $40-$100. A pack of tobacco which will last you a pretty long time, especially if you don't smoke much, costs around $15. You may want to buy a few different flavors, but a smaller scale, for example 50-100 grams; which cost about $5-$10. Box of charcoal is about $5, as far as I remember. Everything else, such as the hose and all the necessary pieces come with the hookah. So you're looking at around $100-$120 to get a nice start and you'll be loaded with a great hookah, some good tobacco and everything you need.

            This is the hookah I own, same color too. I got this as a gift but I'm pretty sure it costs about a $100, maybe even a little less.

                Looks good. But let me tell you this, if possible, go to a store and buy it. Go somewhere with a nice selection. Now, you see the silver part that connects to the green glass? Try and find a hookah that screws on instead of just sitting on it with a rubber. Mine and most other hookahs come with a rubber that just sits on top of it. If you can find one that screws, get it in an instant. The smoke is much more concealed and way better!

                I can give you small tips on the hose, bowl and the rest once you get the actual hookah.

                    For sure. I would like to see this thread kept alive, even if not many of us smoke hookah. Any tips on what the best hose out there might be would great, or even someones favorite brand of tobacco. Anything is appreciated.
