This is madness. I too ordered one of these SMOKE BOX HOOKAH's (billed as being "The World's First Retro Portable Hookah!" which is an utter joke). Unfortunately for me this was before all of the recent reports of all the problems people are having with this particular hookah.
I ordered from the owner, a gregarious Domincan man in his late 20's - early 30's who goes by the moniker "The Caliber Hitter" online. Well this cabrón despistado sure does have himself a "hit" alright. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if this fella has a hit out on his life at this point based on all of the people he's maiming with his shoddy portable hookah time bombs.
Not only that but if you do a Google search for this guy - you will find that killing people with hookahs is the least of his problems as apparently he doesn't want to spend time coming up with a safe design that actually works -but he would rather taunt the Los Zetas gang (srsly) and flaunt his beating up of women (again, srsly).
In order to make sure that the women not go to the police, he apparently threatens them with making a website in their name and writing a bunch of false slander on it.
Felix the owner - is obviously some kind of lunatic.
Regretably, he's also a lunatic who is $160.59 richer......with my money (which he says he won't return, but don't worry, I'm suing his butt).
So yea, the point is stay away from this product, I used it twice. The second time I let it cool down and then went out to see Jurassic World at the movies with my girl. Returning home, once I was on my street and saw the smoke and the lights, I was waved over by the fire marshall who informed me that my mom's foyer had completely gone up in smoke while she was upstairs asleep. My poor mom had to be hospitalized overnight for smoke inhalation and severe respiratory irritation. Her cough is just now going away.
I've never left a bad review on anything in my life but with this hookah, I wish I could scream it from the mountain tops:
I purchased my Smoke Box (Hekkpipe) online from http://boxhookah.com/ after seeing several photos of it on Instagram https://instagram.com/smokeboxhookah
I paid almost $160 for my Smoke Box Retro which was reported to be "The World's First Retro Portable Hookah!" The company claimed the hookah was a real "head turner" and they weren't kidding. First of all the item looked way worse in person that it did in any of the photos I had seen online and the worst part was the poor workmanship. I realize the item was hand made but honestly the Smoke Box I received was definatly not work $100. It was basically made out of cheap plywood and the cuts and fit were poor. I think I could have done just as good of a job myself. My main issue was the fact that the Box Pipe fell apart in less than a week after smoking from it maybe five time. I figured for $160 the company would make things right but I was shocked when a man named Felix bascially accused me of breaking my own Hookah and refused to do anything about it. Needless to say I am sorry I ever gave these guys my money. For $160 you can get a way nicer Box Hookah from a far more reputable (and polite) company. Stay away from these guys!
Just received my portable "retro" hookah from ,boxhookah.com after seeing it advertised on the busniess owner's Twitter page (@22caliberhitter) twitter.com/SmokeBoxHookah/status/611188884609892352
I have to say that customer support was initially fantastic, helping me choose the right hookah for me and answering all my questions very quickly. Shipping was also quick using USPS Air Mail, it took only 4 days to get to AZ. The packaging was done really well though- there were even these cute little Sharpie drawings that the owner Felix, had drawn on the shipping box for me. It was a nice touch.
So far so good right?
Well...
It turns out that this product was a complete disaster, literally, in a box.
The package arrived today at noon and upon opening the box I was immediately hit with the over powering smell of concentrated acetone nail polish remover or some sort of solvent which reminded me of spray paint.
