Ok, I'm looking for a hookah for me and my roommates to buy. Now I was thinking that since we don't need anything huge or special a small one with one hose would be fine for 20-40$. However, one of them is certain that size, paint job, and number of hoses isn't the reason for prices going up. Would the small one be a piece of crap that wouldn't work for very long or is it just cheeper because it's smaller and simple?
