A rotating hookah definitely does the trick for big groups, and the Mya, in my personal opinion, is great for intermediate use. (I personally use a small acrylic Mya). If your smoke sessions tend to have 2-4 people, then I don't recommend buying a single hose hookah, unless you can attach a hose adapter, like those found on Mya Sarays. For your price range I would highly recommend an Egyptian hookah, preferably with a brass or copper core (Khalil Mamoun Hookah's come to mind). If you don't want a hookah that’s too tall I have found that 24"-27" hookahs smoke the best. Hope this helps. Good Luck in your search! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmahlman Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 That seems about right, someone link me to some good ones, or give me some more ideas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmahlman Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 ohh, yeaI know most people would advise against this but i already have 3 bowls and 2 tongs and 3 hoses, (mya washable wide hose is all i need I LOVE IT)so i was thinking that maybe i could just buy the stem, the tray, and the base.If this doesn't lower my selectionsomeone get at me about that. thanks yall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazria Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I bought 1 complete hookah. The next two were piece-mealed together. I HIGHLY suggest getting a complete hookah. This way everything fits perfectly...I bought the stems first, but didn't wait to receive them before ordering the base - it was small... I had a heck of a time timming the grommet to make it fit and it BARELY fits!If you do want to piece-meal it together, order everything from 1 location/vendor. Normally they will inform you which fits what... you can even call most of them to verify everything will work together.My .02 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally they will inform you which fits what... you can even call most of them to verify everything will work together.My .02 cents I agree with Lazria, for the most part.If you’re looking at Egyptian hookahs, I don't recommend getting each part individually as Egyptians are hand made and it's hard to find consistency from piece to piece. On the other hand if you are willing to sacrifice some longevity and possibly some quality, and go with a Chinese hookah, then you can definitely mix and match parts, since Chinese hookahs are machine lathed, creating consistency from piece to piece.Hope this clarifies your questions!

tkato Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Actully i suggest buying a single hose hookah... the multi-hose thingy makes the smoke less dense, and burning the shisha faster... i suggest going for an egyptian signle medium sized hookah, egyptian hookah's has better performence than AGER, or Syrian hookahs... you can find a decent one for 75$ but may i suggest importing since it will cost you less...

SafeSearchOff Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 i personally love my QT, its real reliable, and pretty easy to set up and clean, you just need to make sure about the water level... hard to get the first 1 or 2 times because of the lack of reference and such a short vase...

GordonMac Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 get a 3 hoser. I think those are ideal because personally i don't like smoking with less than 2 other people. if you have a 3 then everyone can smoke and if more people come you can make like a "trade team" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we smoke as a group, it's part of the etiquette I guess to take turns unless it's a huge group. Edited May 17, 2007 by Gaara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we smoke as a group, it's part of the etiquette I guess to take turns unless it's a huge group.My thoughts exactly. I stick to one hose if i'm smoking with 3 people or less. I do however like the option of adapting the purge valve for an extra hose when neccessary.- misterbeetz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
