First Hookah, Is This Right?

[MWlax00]

Okay, I have done a lot of research on hookahs. But i cant not narrow down which to get. I was originally looking at hookahs on Hookahcompany.com, but then found these hookahs for much cheaper on hookah-a1.com.
YES, i am on a budget. i do not want to spend more than $50, as i am a college student. plus i also need to buy shisha and charcoal in the same budget. (also confused on shisha). (was thinnking starbuzz?)
So in summery, i was looking at this hookah. http://www.hookah-a1.com/double-hoses-hook...ha/prod_89.html. Is this right for me? I wanted something that was capable of 3 hose, and that is easy to clean and store. (smoking isn't allowed on the balcony where ill be smoking where i live.)
Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Looks like a MYA knock-off to me. It shouldn't be "bad", but it wont be great either. try it out and let us know!

Dont ever buy Starbuzz, why? just for the price. Stick with AF, try some Nakhla, experiment and see what you like an prefer.

Starbuzz is the last shisha you want to buy if you are on a budget. Get some Al Fakher, Al Waha etc. As for the hookah I couldn't say. How bout you let us know.

I think Naklha is the best tobacco on a budget. It can be found for $7 for 250g, and it's great. Nice and juicy, and most of the flavors are decent. No need to pay 15-20 dollars for starbuzz, there are better cheaper alternatives.

thanks guys!
Does anyone have suggestion for my needs?
Cheep, easy, portable.

and i read the reviews on shisha, i ill deff try al f first!

i am ready to purchase here today, or tomorrow

where is the best website to buy shisha at? Edited July 14, 2008 by MWlax00

I sell that exact hookah in my stores but I do not sell it online anymore. It is a good hookah and will smoke well. The stem screws on so the base can't ever slip off accidentally. That is a great price, infact, the website must be clearancing it if it is only $35. The hoses aren't very good so for the money you save on the hookah, you can expect to need new hoses in the next several months. I actually sell the same hookah with mya saray hoses, but it is not as cheap.

if you're going to buy AF but it from mnhookah.com. It's almost $3 less per 250g tub than H-S. plus, you can get 12% of of that with the hookahforum discount code. Edited July 14, 2008 by OC4111

I got the Pharaoh from H-S as my first it's a bit larger and a 3 hoser. Still in my stable, pull it out from time to time... it is a great first hookah, the Nile is a little smaller, but i have smoked out of it. Smokes like the pharaoh.

Tobacco go with Nakhla, Al Fakher, or Al Waha for a cheap tobacco, but good tobacco.

[MWlax00]

okay thanks. ill but the AF and coals from them. all together, looks like 42. plus the hookah

[NickReppinThe909]

IMO you should go with a more known vendor on the forum for the hookah especially one that doesnt sell knockoffs

[SimplexCoda]

The hookah doesnt look bad. What does look bad is the vendor. I have never heard of them and they have some things that look like knock-ofs. I would sa be wary of the customer service.

I've got the 3 hose Nile and it smokes great! Ive had it for 5+ months now and no problems. Its my only hookah and we smoke nightly.
