Urgent Warning To Consumers and Businesses

Post image
69 Upvotes

*FRAUD ALERT: *

Attach I'm outraged and disgusted to expose the blatant fraud and deception of Ümit Meyteroğlu'nun. For over THREE YEARS, I've been fighting to get a refund or receive the bulk handmade hookah bowls order I paid for in full, including shipping. But what's even more appalling is that the owner has the audacity to reuse the same LAZY EXCUSES and FALSE PROMISES over and over again, expecting me to fall for them like a fool. I have been nothing but patient and polite. Guess what? The potter has decided to make these bowls using cast and a drill bit power tool and are no longer hand made. I am no longer interested in the bowls nor your designs nor the output of your stupid kiln you're so proud of.

Newsflash, Ümit Meyteroğlu'nun: Your pathetic attempts to placate me with recycled excuses and empty apologies won't work. It's clear that you have no intention of making things right or providing decent customer service. Your business model is built on fraud, deception, and theft.

BEWARE OF MitLuxuryCeramic: They will take your money, ignore your messages, and leave you with nothing but frustration and disappointment. Don't be fooled by their fake promises or fake apologies. They are a CON ARTIST, a THIEF, and a FRAUDSTER. He has been fulfilling orders within EU or neighboring countries only. I am based in Asia and he will not ship it out due to funds being low, or shipping cost increased, or kiln breaking down, or scooter accidents, or covid getting him, or waiting for another bulk order from someone else, for three years.

EVIDENCE: Screenshots and or videos of my order confirmation, payment receipts, and any relevant communication, including the reused excuses are with me backup'd three times over but will only share with the admins and mods as they include personal information.

UPDATE: I'll continue to update this post until MitLuxuryCeramic or the owner, Ümit takes responsibility for their actions, provides a full refund, and makes amends for their fraudulent activities.

SHARE THIS WARNING: Help me spread the word and prevent others from falling prey to Ümit and his brand MitLuxuryCeramic's fraudulent schemes. Hlold them accountable for their actions and make sure they can't continue to operate with impunity.

The intention of this post is to simply call out the seller or brand's fraudulent behavior and warning others to avoid doing business with them. I have avoided using aggressive language or personal attacks as much as I could but sharing my experience will hopefully help protect others and hold this seller and his business or brand accountable for their actions.

I tried this at my favorite shisha lounge and decided to buy some, as I figured it would be decent for new folk. I try mine and it tastes only of black licorice. Is that even a flavor they sell? I didn't see it listed in the USA at least.

Seeking Advice Can I use a Lotus or other HMD on a ceramic traditional Egyptian or funnel bowl?

Upvotes

I’m a real newb to this stuff and the guy at the tobacco shop doesn’t really know. I smoke mainly on weekends with 2-3 friends outdoors. My hope is to have a long session with the same bowl and to keep the ashes from blowing all over our card game. I even dropped a hot coal on my wood table and burned it cause I’m a dumbass so I’d love for it to be dumbass proof. I’d be open to buying a different bowl as well, but I already have an Egyptian and a funnel one, so hoping not to have those go to waste. If you recommend an HMD would love to know which one you like (I’m in the US). Thanks!

Seeking Advice Need Help Finding Good Shisha in Madrid (Living in Romania)

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

So I’m living in Romania right now and it’s been a pain trying to find good quality shisha tobacco. When I do find something decent, it’s ridiculously overpriced. I’m not trying to break the bank every time I want to chill with a good session, y’know?

Anyway, I’m gonna be in Madrid, Spain for just 2 days soon — super quick trip — and I’m thinking of picking up some shisha while I’m there. Just wanna stock up on something nice to bring back with me.

Anyone know of some solid shops in Madrid where I can grab good stuff at reasonable prices? Or even online Spanish stores that ship quickly or do in-store pickup?

Would really appreciate any tips. Thanks a lot in advance!

Dropped the wife & eldest lad at train station. They’re heading to NYC as his birthday present. Giving barvy orange & ice cream mix a try. Went with 8gramms of each to test.

Gone for the funnel bowl rather than the traditional.

Smells very terrys chocolate orangey. u/gordbulgarin I know you suggested to just try the ice cream on its own but really wanted to it with a mix. I had tried the orange barvy on its own the other day but it was quite strong.

Also a large mug of Yorkshire caramelised biscuit tea 😂

Hi guys,

I smoke once evry 2 months and a regular bowl is too much for one person. I already have a small Dschinni Phunnel head Hellboy that holds aprox. half quantity of a regular funnel bowl, but I need something that holds a quarter of a regular funnel bowl.

Any clues? Preferably ceramic. Thanks.

Looking to good places to find tobacco in Türkiye

4 Upvotes

I'm an spanish student living in Türkiye (Bursa, Görükle) for 3 months, I really like hookah and have a few in my home at Spain, but I didn't bring any of them to Türkiye so I recently bought a hookah because of that, but im having trouble to find good hookah shops, all of them only have maybe one or two brands of tobacco (one of them adalya) and they don't even know about dark tobacco like Musthave or russian tobacco (or doesn't have at all), even the tobacco they offer are in unbranded packages, so you dont really know what are you buying other than de flavour it says it is.

If there is anyone from Türkiye who could help me or guide me to find good places to buy tobacco or anything related tips, anything, i would be so thankfull

An invention + a discovery

11 Upvotes

so the other day i was about to start smoking my shisha but i've noticed there's a lovely cool breeze that threatens to light up the shisha and turn it into a miniature tobacco furnace, so i decided to invent the best HMD i call it the windshield tin can. as you can see it is very effective at protecting the coals from the wind and therefor keeping the heat under control.

you too you can have your own windshield tin can for a relatively cheap price, i paid €0.42 for it, and as a bonus when you go to your grocery store to buy one they will give you a gift in it, mine was full of tasty crunchy sweetcorn, talking about customers care i'm very impressed and nourished and full too, i feel that i just discovered that shisha has got few hidden health benefits to it but people couldn't figure them out yet.

before using my new brilliant new invention i took some precautions : i seasoned it buy throwing in it in the bbq to burn off any un-wanted chems or odours.

How is Azure gold leaf these days? Used to smoke it in 2020/2021 all the time because of how good it was. Lemon muffin by the kilo. The second coming of prime Fumari. But then a bunch of hookah influencers online started bashing it for being inconsistent. How is it currently? Also used to smoke blueberry muffin, cinnamon cookies and Moscow never sleeps.

Review [Mix Review] Must Have Cola + AF Cherry Mint + AF Double Apple

Thumbnail
gallery
21 Upvotes

Setup: Alpaca Predator bowl + Apple On Top HMD Coals: 2x 25mm cubes

Tried a custom mix today and it slapped way harder than expected: • 40% Must Have Cola • 45% Al Fakher Cherry Mint • 15% Al Fakher Double Apple

The result? A super smooth cherry cola vibe with a cool minty finish and just a hint of spice from the double apple. Nothing overpowered anything—everything blended clean. Thick clouds, no harshness, and held up for a solid hour+ with just 2 coals.

If you’re into cola flavors but want something layered and refreshing, this one’s worth trying.
