JakeB1322 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I have been smoking hookahs for about a year now. Most of my friends have hookahs, so I am fairly experienced in smoking them. I have never looked into buying one though. I guess I am looking for a two hose hookah without auto stop ball bearing. A friend of mine had a giant 4 hose with ball bearings and it smoked like crap every time. I am looking to spend around $50, maybe a little more. Please advise me in a good hookah for my requirements.Also, I heard about a company called BBArms on eBay. http://bbarms.com/hookah/cat_9.htmlHas anybody here ever used one of their hookahs? I am kind of skeptical about them. the pics look very nice, but the site has so much junk on it, it's hard to believe they would have quality hookahs since they don't specialize in any one thing.

SafeSearchOff Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 youll be hard pressed to find a quality 2 hoser for udner $50. Like muhammad said, check out hte Mya QT. if your willing to go higher, try the Mya Acryllic line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waffle Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Well JakeB1322 you are getting some great feedback. Thats what I love about this site. Try contacting the customer service of bbarms see what they are like, because the prices look pretty good on that site. The only other thing I can suggest is try looking for a small MYA acrylic. My first hookah was a small red and gold no name from China town and boy I still love it, but its been toppled over quite a few times by friends. With a MYA youll pay a little more. Keep searching when you find the hookah youll know it. Peace -Waffle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankenstein_666 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 JakeB, what you can do is buy a MyaQT and purchase the attachement to replace the ball bearing with a second hose stem! They work great and I have seen them on sites in their accessories pages. The Mya's are very well made and will last you a very long time. Look around at site that carry the Mya add-on for a second hose. The MyaQT's are like $45.00 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioannisds Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 If you're gonna buy I QT, I suggest you wait (hopefully not too much longer) for the Pimp Your Hookah site to get online. Really, really, REALLY good prices. Also, I personally would not buy a hookah from a site where they are sold "on the side" as it were. Purchase from a company that specializes in hookahs, and I guarantee you will be much more satisfied, though you might have to pay a tiny bit more.

I may do that and get a QT. I've been reading about mya autoseal hose attachements, but can't find any websites selling them. Does anybody know where I might find these? Thanks for all the quick reply's everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicayotte Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Yea i agree go with a mya and wait for pmh to come back they will have the greatest prices around. I might suggest that you get a personal hookah before a multi, which the mya can do for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling that they will want to smoke all the time with me. But I think getting a mya qt with he hose adapter will do the trick for me...for now.Also, do you guys know when PMH will be back? I really want to order soon, I'm getting really excited about all this. And how much lower than $45 for the mya do you think it would be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of us reviewed his website for him, and thus got a peek at what he was selling. I think he'd like to keep everything quite though until he officially opens. Maybe you can drop him a PM and see if he'll give you any info himself. His screen name is hookahpimp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waffle Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 www.hookah-shisha.com is the best...they have the MYA hose adaptors under the accessories page. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SafeSearchOff Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 i wouldnt buy from bbarms, from the looks of it all the hookahs are Mitsubas (cheap chinese knockoffs of chinese hookahs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookahlife Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Hey Jake, For $50 you'd be hardpressed to find a 2-hose hookah, but as everyone has mentioned, go with the Mya QT. You can add a hose adapter and a Mya hose to transform it into a 2-hose, and the ball bearing that's located in the hose adapter to provide an auto-seal can easily be taken out. Check these sites out for the Mya QT:www.hookah-life.com (15% forum discount with coupon code: hookahfrm1)www.hookah-shish.comwww.mnhookahs.comHope this helps! -Eugene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the thing is, it is very obviously chinese made. Very nice looking, excellent price. But also has a lot of parts that screw together, instead of rubber stopper. Make sure you buy one that has a rubber stopper and doesnt screw into the vase. The case it came with is a peice of crap. dont buy it because of that. buy a hookah from shoplikeanegyptian.comthat looks like a nice cheap site, and it has all free shipping. -Aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
