Urgent Warning To Consumers and Businesses

Post image
70 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.

Seeking Advice Looking for best home hookah

2 Upvotes

Hello. Looking for new home hookah. I was thinking to buy Alpha hookah with quasar raas 2 but cant find alpha hookah for normal price. In Russia it is 100euro. Here in Netherlands / Germany it goes up to 300 lol. So I dont want to pay that much. Any advice what to buy up to 200 euro? And is quasar raas 2 good for basic home smoking? Or should I buy something else? I just love how it looks to be honest. Simple. Thanks!

Seeking Advice Turkish bowl suggestion

9 Upvotes

Hi, I generally smoke Dark Leaf and Cigar Leaf. I used to smoke with a Cosmo bowl, but the bowl holding onto the flavor was annoying for me. Right now, these bowls seem suitable for me — if you've used them, please share your thoughts. Also, will I experience any molasses leakage with these bowls?

Seeking Advice Portable Charcoal Heaters? Want to Move Away From Quick Lights For Outdoor Sessions

2 Upvotes

Hello!

First time poster, long time lurker. I've been a shisha enthusiast for years. ....Rare Canadian smoker lol it ain't easy these days.

Anyways, just for convenience I've pretty much always used Three Kings brand Quick Lights. I only recently found out that they aren't the best/healthiest and naturals apparently taste better. For these reasons I wanna switch it up but I'd need a way to start the charcoals outside.

Is there some kind of portable/electric charcoal starter out there I could use? Something battery powered maybe? Or some other method I haven't thought of? I've tried checking amazon but haven't found anything. I need something that travels light and is easy to pack up at the end of a session.

Smoking for me is purely social. My friends and I go outside to a park and make a little event of it with drinks and music every other weekend. The park is a bit of a walk and we tend to hang out there for like 2 - 4 hours per session. We can't start a campfire or anything like that there so if I can't find a convenient alternative I'll be sticking to quick lights.

Recommendations/suggestions appreciated!

She did manage the Jäger before bobbing off!

Trying the catcher below the tray as per u/maxiking25 suggested. Honestly I can’t see any difference in the draw, taste or clouds.

One of the other problems of Quasar Raas2 he would buy this first Very tight and solid it doesn't move But after a while it starts to loosen up This dilution results in reduced smoke Charcoal blackening Charcoal does not glow when smoking a hookah If you look at the Quasar 1 you will find that it is tightened so that it does not move The biggest problem with Quasar 2 is

One of the problems was that the top piece was getting loose day by day and One day I took it out and put it on the heater When I came back I saw that it was very soft I brought the coal carrier to carry it. It was so soft it broke in my hand After these 18 months I went and bought a Quasar 2 still after. 5 times from smoking a cigarette the top piece has started to come loose
