I bought this on a black friday special to have something small and less of an ordeal to smoke when its just myself or just 1 other person - Worth that price but has a few negatives - As mentioned the hose is kinda crappy, but it is atleast functional, I would also add that a nuhose does not properly fit into the base - Another issue is the vase - It is painted rather than colored glass and the paint or atleast the red on it is extremely crappy - It will melt off at anything above room temperature, this includes your hands or if you rinse it with hot tap water, save yourself some trouble and just give it a hot water bath immediately and have a clear vase - FYI to anyone ordering this that might be used to a different style, the windcover is necessary even indoors, the heat will not be sufficient to light the tobacco without it at least with the cheapo coals I use - I still gave it a good over bad because it the end of the day it was functional and I only paid $10 for it - A better hose and paint that doesn''t come so easily or if the vase was just left clear would have made the difference between merely acceptable and an amazing deal -
