TK_05 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I know there is review section and what not but my searching through there didn't lead to the answer I wanted.I'm a regular smoker, I smoke at least 3-4 bowls a day. I have gone through numerous hookahs as I'm sure you all have. I'm set on saying 'enough is enough' and plopping down the monies necessary to get me into a nice outfit. I'm not looking for anything extravigant, I'm looking for the best hookah for the buck. The hookah that smokes the best. I don't care how great it looks or if it has been touched by the hands of God, all I want is a quality piece.This will remain 95% of the time at my house, with no transport necessary, but it will have to be somewhat portable. I don't care about a case or anything but I don't want anything too big. I'm not really into a multi-hosed system as I don't see the advantages.I'm new the online hookah thing but I have been smoking for years. I'd imagine you guys could point me in the right direction on where to look for a quality hookah. In my brief browsing I came across the Al Fakher hookahs and they looked like quality pieces but I'm only worried about the quality of the smoke, my friends can look at my nice tv or nice clock if they want to see something quality looking, all I'm worried about is quality smoking.What would you guys recommend? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK_05 Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 I'm currently smoking out of a Mini Mya and saying the grommets on this thing are sub-par would be a massive understatement.I'm looking for a better quality piece and a better smoking piece.

stryet Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Khalil Mammoun Amer. Brass core, wide stem, very easy draws, large base, and really easy to clean. I can transport it in a standard duffel bag.If you're all about flavor, get a lebanese/syrian (the female head) MYA stem with bohemian glass. Extremely portable, and the flavor is awesome.

Allia22 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 AF/KM FTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victim026 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I would go with something with better realiability then the KM's or AF's, I would suggest the Social Smoke 28" Egyptian.... I get better smoke out of either of my SS hookahs then I do my 2 KM's, 3 Mya's, and 2 Syrians. I've also been part of the group who has recieved a MYA with less then stellar glass, and also recieved a KM Amer with black gunk all up inside of it. Social Smoke FTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victim026 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Just because I don't own one doesn't mean I know nothing about them. My best friend took the chance on the AF hookah and although it is a decent hookah, I wouldn't say it smokes great by any means.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK_05 Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 The Social Smoke looks great as does the Khalil Mamoun. Where are you guys buying these from for best deals?Any more opinions? I'll probably bite the bullet next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victim026 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Your choices for KM's are Hookah Company or Pimp Your Hookah.... Social Smokes come from Social Smoke Directly, Although I have seen them in the mall at Earthbound Trading Company, except there about $40 above the price of buying direct....

TK_05 Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 What kind of head should I go with. I'm intrigued by these funnel heads as I have never smoked from one. The small Tangier is still 50g of shisha. What would you guys recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victim026 Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 As far as I've seen the reviews on the Amer are 50/50, the KM's in general are good hookahs, but my Amer came with black gunk clogging the stem of the hookah and it was quite the task to get out. As for the phunnel head pick up a medium phunnel with a glass mod as well as a regular bowl. With the mod you won't have to fill the bowl all the way so you can still conserve on shisha.

Allia22 Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Oh come now, the black gunk wasn't that big of an issue. I'd personally rather have the gunk than the brass core all oxidized to hell when it got to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoDeadBodies Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 That is my exact set up (small tangiers bowl however) with the mod you practically use no shisha at all, however it takes a lot of heat to get it smoking well...but the bowls still go for over an hour easy...I got my Amer 3 days ago, the black gunk took about a half hour to get out (use vinegar,baking soda and water and the brush the hookah comes with) it was actually kinda fun to get out (im weird i guess). THE SMOKE IS AWESOME THOi would definitely recommend the Nammor hose from Hookah-shisha.comit cost 23 bucks but is worth it so much...the reason its so good is because the hose is SO wide nad the draw is so easy...on top of that the hose is completely plastic meaning that you can wash it as many times with as much water as you want and it will not get rusty or shitty like 99% of all hoses out there....so i recommendAmerPhunnelModLots of quicklite coals (naturals may or my not work depending on how high your mod sits in the bowl...they may just roll off)and when you can afford it NAmMOR hose from HOokah-shisha.comPSin coupon code typehookahforumyou get 15% off its fucking badass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This won't be a party hookah, mostly me and a couple friends smoking. I plan like I always have to just use my DIY hookah hose made out of plain plumbing tube.

Foos Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Ill go ahead and second the amer and the setup your looking to get. It was my exact setup untill my friends broke my mod then I broke my funnel, but now I use a super chief which is also a really great bowl. The amer is a champ through and through, smokes like a dream and as for black gunk, who the fuck cares honestly, clean the shit out and start smoking, thats what I did. I dont know why people have had such a hard time with that but it took me like 5 or 10 minutes to clean it out. I love mine, and now that were talking about it, Ill go have a smoke!
