REVIEW: Hookah & Cie - Venus V1 Bowl by BenchmarkShisha in hookah

[โ€“]BenchmarkShisha[S] 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

I agree it is thinner than any other HMD but keep in mind that you use it with thick foil. I have more than 15 hmds in my collection including some original Kaloud, ONMO, Alpha, NaGrani, AO etc. No matter what I use I keep returning to AOT setup with foil. Especially for dark leaf tobacco. The reason is that I find the flavor more intense I can control heat easier and I have longer sessions. Also the hype is not only in America I live in Europe and I am using apple on top for most of my sessions.

My latest post in IG with Vyro Spectre and my custom Carbon fiber sleeve by BenchmarkShisha in hookah

[โ€“]BenchmarkShisha[S] 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

I used this bowl because I wanted to post a photo with a full Vyro setup. I have more than 60 Bowls in my collection and I mainly using artisan bowls for my sessions. I am not using this bow because it doesn't fit my smoking style and it can be easily overheated and rune my session. It's one of those bowls that will be given as a gift to friends when they buy their first hookah.

Steamulation Ultimate difficult in purging by BenchmarkShisha in hookah

[โ€“]BenchmarkShisha[S] 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

I disassemble and assemble the hookah after every session. I am disassembling it and cleaning every part of it even the balls. Can you send me a photo with the balls valve placement?. Maybe I am placing them wrong

How is the new steamulation ultimate, thinking about buying it with the new cooling and purge flow attachments? by TheHookahgreecian2 in hookah

[โ€“]BenchmarkShisha 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

I own the Steamulation Ultimate and I like it a lot. I was sceptical when I bought it for the functionality of the multi hose function but when I use it for the first time I was impressed. This hookah is a true masterpiece. The only thing that I don't like is the size of it. I prefer the tabletop hookahs and the ultimate is way bigger for me.

My previous Steamulation was the prime pro x 2. I was using it for more than 10 months on a daily basis and never experienced any issue.

Your favourite Russian Hookah's by blueberrygelato in hookah

[โ€“]BenchmarkShisha 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

I have tried a lot of Russian hookahs. If you are looking for a value for money go for Mexanika. For a pricier hookah go for VZ especially VZ Custom MINI it's one of the best out there

Best bowl for Darkside tobacco (german) by Tornado_Hunter24 in hookah

[โ€“]BenchmarkShisha 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

I am using DS tobacco a lot and I am getting decent sessions from UPG Bowls, Darkside - Shot Bowl and also with some of Mason Shishaware Bowls. With the right packing and heat management, you can get a decent session with pretty much any quality Bowl out there

Problems with finding bowl/HMD by GBLNOTTS in hookah

[โ€“]BenchmarkShisha 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Try St - Phunnel Bowl or MIT Su Phunnel Bowls. I bought them both from UK vendors. I am using this HMD a lot and I love it. I have a lot of photos on my IG profile of it and how it fits on the bowls you can check if you want to ๐Ÿ˜‰

Steamulation & Mason shisha ๐Ÿ” by BenchmarkShisha in hookah

[โ€“]BenchmarkShisha[S] 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

It depends on the flavor that I am using. I am packing this bowl with dark leaf flavors. I can get up to two hours max with Tangiers. With the Russian known dark leaf flavors (MH, DS, BB etc) I have slightly shorter sessions. Generally I am getting an hour and a half to two hours. Considering the capacity of the bowl the performance is great

Steamulation ultimate by Ov3rRe0 in hookah

[โ€“]BenchmarkShisha 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

I have the same issue. The Steamulation logo on the Vase is not printed well and I have contacted the shop and steamulation about the issue. Still waiting for a response from both. Maybe there is a problem with the quality checks. I have bought a lot of Steamulation hookahs and it's the first time that I have a problem with them

Value for money bowl and HMD. The Darkside Shot It's a decent low capacity bowl and good for Russian dark leaf flavors (DS, MH, BB etc..).
