What up? I've been lurking here for a while, been studying up as much as I can, but this is my first post. I wanted to see what the opinions were on my findings.
A little bit of back story: I've never even smoked a hookah. Never even thought about it until recently, when I started smoking a pipe. I've been studying up on that and am going to pick up some nice McClelland blends and a good looking Savinelli shortly, but with winter approaching, I won't be able to smoke much outside, and I'm anticipating that SWMBO won't react to favorably to the aroma of some of the more flavorful blends of pipe tobacco I'll be smoking. So I was trying to come up with a way that the problem can be avoided, and as soon as a hookah popped into my head I was dead set on getting one (who knows why, that's the way my brain works ).
So, anyway, unless my girlfriend surprises me and takes up an interest in the hookah (she has never smoked [u]anything[/u]) this will be a solo hookah 99.99% of the time. For that reason, I'm not looking for a massive rig, and not looking to spend a lot of money on the device itself (rather spend it on shisha).
After reading countless forum posts and reviews, here's the rig I'm currently settled on:
[list]
[*][b]Mya Mozza[/b] - adding a large Mya tray
[*][b]Nammor Hose[/b] - probably small, in black
[*][b]Crown Micro Phunnel[/b]
[/list]
I'll probably also add a small windscreen, and it seems like quartered, flat coconaras will be the way to go with this bowl. I like the mozza for it's modern, non-traditional look. I'm hoping the crown micro will help with conservation of mu'assel and be small enough for 45-60 minute solo sessions.
Any suggestions on the rig?
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this forum so I can be confident in my first purchase without having to waste a lot of money on trial and error.
