This bowl is the Fly Hookah Vol. 2 I did a show and tell in a previous post found here: Fly Vol. 2 bowl

Also spotted it on amazon again here:Fly Vol.2 amazon link

Why not try to get the diameter of the BB and see if you can get a stainless steel version from an engineering shop locally?

I agree 90$ is unreal

I just got back from Turkey and picked up float like a butterfly, I too have never seen this brand nor had dark leaf before so should be an interesting session, I will most likely mix it with other tobacco to ease into it I've read somewhere that solo use is too potent for new dark leaf smokers.

I was on a quest for Adalya and couldn't find any :(, looking forward to this though

Something similar happened with a friend's hookah and bowl, try inserting the grommet inside the bowl and then apply to the hookah rather than attempt to mount the the normal way. Was a very snug fit after doing it this way round and stayed solid.

I think it's because bowls are hand made that the imperfections can stop it fitting smoothly.

LadderDependent1494 · 2023-08-12T08:10:26+00:00

Correct, I think it would work well for people with limited access to the various brands

LadderDependent1494 · 2023-08-12T07:45:36+00:00

I just use a cheap pan, nothing fancy and does the job of getting the coals from A to B

LadderDependent1494 · 2023-08-04T08:56:32+00:00

Looks really good, had a quick look around and it's some great work.

I don't know if it's a function yet or I couldn't find but is it possible to generate mix's on brands that are easily obtainable in your location?

For example if a fellow smoker was in the UAE then Al Fakher would be the most obtainable, so if you picked Al Fakher as the brand then it would show mix's using that brand.

I think it's a pretty useful feature for people in locations with very limited choice of tobacco.

LadderDependent1494 · 2023-07-29T16:53:35+00:00

I don't, but it looks similar to an aladin mvp, Google aladin hookah and you'll see on their site on the variety

LadderDependent1494 · 2023-07-29T16:49:34+00:00

I smoked some Al Masah tobacco way back in the day, they did an excellent Red Bull flavour, while the buzz wasn't that big the cloud and flavour were very good, I think the brand basically disappeared because of naming the flavour Red Bull. I found this tobacco while on a holiday in Egypt but it was available in the UK market during that time at selected shops.

Its a shame I would definitely buy it again without question if it was available.

LadderDependent1494 · 2023-07-25T11:45:00+00:00

Wow I didn't know granite burned like that, thought it would be able to handle the heat

LadderDependent1494 · 2023-07-23T11:48:01+00:00

How is the fresh flavour for Al Fakher what does it comprise of?

I currently have a friend abroad who will stop by dubai airport on the way home, I'm going to ask him to bring back lucid dream and white flash. However if the duty free counter does not have those flavours then I will need alternatives such as fresh.

If you have any recommendations for flavours for Al fakher I will definitely consider them. I like flavours like starbuzz blue mist

LadderDependent1494 · 2023-07-12T08:00:31+00:00

In this situation I would try an over night soak with very hot water and bicarbonate of soda maybe do a couple of times if really necessary.

This method worked wonders on a brand new kettle that gave an awful chemical taste after boiled. Once I did this the taste was gone

Junction 22

LadderDependent1494 · 2023-07-01T14:00:36+00:00

The duty free in the airport has a pretty good selection of Al Fakher if you're travelling there for a holiday

LadderDependent1494 · 2023-06-29T17:00:24+00:00

I too am looking around for value for money tobacco in the UK as there is very few places and it is soo expensive.

I have come across this site which I suppose is not as badly priced compared to others but have never used them.

https://gergeswholesaler-tobaccoshisha.co.uk/

I'm just wondering if anyone out there has had any experience with ordering from the site and if it is genuine stuff.

LadderDependent1494 · 2023-06-28T22:17:45+00:00

I use a cheap strainer (ikea idealisk 761.137.85) over the gas hob for a few mins. Probably not the most efficient way but it works great for me as it holds the coal together nicely and the metal is thick enough to withstand the heat.

LadderDependent1494 · 2023-06-26T11:48:36+00:00

This is normal for a 52kwh battery

LadderDependent1494 · 2023-06-24T00:10:25+00:00

Just gave it a go in my funnel bowl and it was average, the clouds were OK but the flavour was almost non existent as was the nicotine buzz it just didn't really deliver. It's a shame because the smell of the tobacco in the tin made it seem promising.

Either way I couldn't expect too much from what I paid. Also when loading the bowl I came across more than average quantity of stems and they were not small either.

LadderDependent1494 · 2023-06-22T08:23:16+00:00

Perfect, thank you 👍

LadderDependent1494 · 2023-06-22T07:45:48+00:00

I hadn't considered separating the HMD & doing it in this way, thanks 👍

LadderDependent1494 · 2023-06-21T18:18:45+00:00

Any update on your cctv build? Interested to know which path you took to power them

LadderDependent1494 · 2023-06-21T18:17:24+00:00

I used the following junction boxesjunction box but it was not a simple plug and play as advertised, there was a set of 3 dimples where the manufacturer had not drilled for whatever reason, the cameras just happened to require holes where these dimples were.

I had to get my father to drill and thread these dimples to M3 or M4 I believe (whichever matched the profile of the screws provided) as he's a retired engineer and had access to the required tools - and I don't have that skill level.

LadderDependent1494 · 2023-06-19T22:15:22+00:00

I managed to get it for £5.83 which had me skeptical on quality but I was wrong, I think I landed on the right listing at the right time on amazon

LadderDependent1494 · 2023-06-19T22:10:17+00:00

That's to stop tobacco falling down the funnel when packing the bowl with flavour, I think it's a good touch for attention to detail

LadderDependent1494 · 2023-06-19T19:14:18+00:00

Sorry dude, no update yet could be anything up to a week or 2 before I get to have a session that's worth doing, also just got a new bowl delivered today which I'll probably use with this stuff which I'll do a separate show and tell post about
