Buying A New Hookah

[smidge]

Ok, so my new puppy, managed to break my hookahs, base, and bowl, and amazingly, managed to somehow destroy the steam also. I'm Looking to spend about 50$ Give or take, on a new hookah, im looking at mya qt's and mya acrylics.

Anyone have any other suggestions on what i should take a look at? Please post some links, thanks!

for under $50, you don't have much variety in terms of good quality to price ratio. the QT would be my first suggestion for that price range, or look at the small fatuta's on HookahCompany.com . they're really all i can think of, though hookah company has a whole Hookahs Under $40 section, as well as TheHookah. if you want a really good portable hookah for a really low price, i'd go with The Witch from TheHookah. I got one a few weeks ago, and its absolutely great. i take it everywhere with ease, and it gets really thick smoke for such a suprisingly small device.

all i can think of, hope it helps.

Thanks, bro im probably buying a 45.00 or a 50.00 hookah from thehookah, what accessory should i get? and any experience with the screw on bases? are they a bad idea? Edited August 13, 2007 by smidge

all you need is the hookah, a box of coals, and some shisha to start. cleaning utensils can be ghetto rigged or same-type things bought locally, and the hose the hookah comes with should suffice for now.

well, i have shisha, and coals. but it comes with all the hookahs. Just wondering if i should get a better bowl, better hose, or a screen or what should i get? And are screw on bases bettor or worse than grommets?

for the beginning i'd say better, the threadings are new, and create a good, perfect seal. in the long run, stick with grommets. standard mya hoses are fine, and you don't need a screen. if you want, pick up a tangiers phunnel bowl, or save it for later.

ok, thanks. for your input safesearchoff. Im buying a egyptian cobra hose. are they good?

[smidge]

ok, well im contemplating on getting one of these few hookahs, not sure which one yet. Please if you've smoked any of them, or heard anything good about them please let me know. thanks.

the small rotating 23" hookah from thehookah
the ballerina 28" hookah from thehookah
mini classic hookah 19" from thehookah
the nomad 17" hookah from thehookah
the junior 17" hookah from thehookah

Please let me know your opinions, thanks

i'd go wit hte mini classic or the 23" rotator, the nomad is a cheapie chinese knockoff - the junior not much better. the ballerina doesnt look too safe, either.

i've never owned an egyptian hose, though i've heard some bad things about them on here. i've also heard good, so I don't know. I'd say worth a try, but its a bit pricey.

don't forget to add the witch to your cart, you get it free if you have a $50 or more order before shipping.
