SAOCCA Hookah

Pros:
-Extra large tray w/ pyramids to rest/ash coals

-Extended/raised bowl port

-Very open/easy draw

-Easy to purge (by this i mean it takes little force to physically move the ball bearings up to purge the hookah, some other hookahs take a bit of effort but this one requires none at all)

-Completely detachable and very high quality materials, feels high quality and beefy. (I've had mine since April of 2023 still looking and smoking good as new, Colored metal parts do not have any wear or tear after many washes)

-Fits HookahJohn SoSo hose perfectly without a grommet (fav hose)

Cons:

-Bowl port has a weird curve/angle, standard grommets are still air tight with the bowl on but feels loose. (I cut a grommet in half horizontally to make the top part of the grommet wider to fit this better)

-Omni-directional purge, this one is a personal con, but I don't like how it purges the smoke in all directions. I'm more of a social smoker so its a bit annoying to blow the smoke in all directions towards everyone. Still perfect for single smokers, as it doesn't purge towards the hose handle. (I put tape on all but 1 purge hole to only keep the purge in one direction, funnily enough it made purging the base clear out smoke faster lol)

Listen up! I am an expert hookah smoker. I am also a very important person. Hence why you’re reading what I have written. Doesn’t matter if you who I am or not, but you do, peasant. This hookah reminds me of myself. Elegant, durable, sexy, unique, put together beautifully, people want to put their mouth on it, they want to breathe the same air, they can’t wait to get there hands on it, it gets better when things start heating up, other puns related to hookah….

Now back to reality: In all seriousness, here is a list why I love this hookah (you will too).

Pros:
-Unbeatable price/value for what you get
-Produces HUUUGE clouds
-Super easy to clean/maintain
-Great air flow
-Amazing construction/materials
-Nice aesthetics
-Long lifespan due to ease of maintenance

Cons:
-Why are you reading this part, silly? Did you think there were any negatives? There are none. Just get one, nerd. Stop reading. Go smoke.

I wanted American ingenuity and manufacturing in a hookah. No cheap stamping or pot metal. The stem is quality machined from aluminum bar stock and anodized with a gloss finish of your choice. No doubt thought has gone into this piece of work. The plate on top is huge and functional. Cleaning is tedious but intuitive. As a customer you will be satisfied with this product. Buy the package deal which will save you money over the long haul.

this hookah should be back in stock
look and smoke amazing

I've had various hookahs throughout the 10+ years I've been smoking hookah and this one wins hands down! The craftsmanship of the stem, with the finest attention to detail is nothing short of amazing! Everything unscrews or pulls apart allowing you to give it a very good, deep cleaning (top stem + top part of the top stem, bottom stem, purge, and hose port). The built in, unique purge is an amazing touch; one thing I didn't like about the previous hookahs was the inability to clean the whole purge "stem" but this makes it very easy. With the built in diffuser, this hookah gives an amazingly smooth and very quiet pull. Whoever thought to put the pyramids on the tray for a resting coal is a genius, along with having the tray secured down with the very top part of the top stem screwing it down into place. A lot of thought went into creating this stem and not only does it perform really well, it looks amazing! I can't speak highly enough of the craftsmanship behind it as I'm completely amazed (I know, I'm using the same descriptive words lol).

Huge props to the Hookah John team (or maybe just John himself) for coming up with this design. I've been eyeing this hookah for quite some time now and it took me a while to pull the trigger (probably about a year?) and I can officially say I have ZERO buyers remorse. Best hookah I've ever smoked from! This deserves more than 5/5 stars!
