jester589 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Hey guys, I'm new lol...I've been trolling the boards for a little bit and decided to finally post. I have absolutely zero Hookah experience...I'm looking to purchase my first one and start my way into the hookah world. What I'm trying to get at is I'm looking to get a 2 hose hookah and everything to get going for about 100 dollars. Is this realistically feasible? Any advice?

Allia22 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Sure it is, I went to www.hookahcompany.com and got my little 21" two hoser for about $40, and some extra supplies and tobacco for $30-$40ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda want something that should last awhile and of course look prestigous lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allia22 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Well, every time I took it out I got all sorts of stares for different reasons, but no one around here thought it looked shoddy. I'd still be smoking out of it if the base weren't broken... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akkbar Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 i got a junior 17 inch from smoking-hookah.com and im still using it after a few years of heavy smoking. my startup costs (minus shipping) were something like $80. i am really happy with the pipe, and it looks quite traditional and beautiful as well. shop around; there's lots to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPR234 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Not really, but even so, multiple hoses aren't really necessary. Even when we have parties and stuff, we've had one hosers work for everyone cause most people don't sit and smoke for the whole time. Although, I do consider getting a 2 hose hookah myself sometimes because when you sit far away from the people youre smoking with passing the hose can get annoying, but such is life. Even if you do get a double hose hookah, when you smoke with only a few people you can still plug one hose port and just use it as a single hose very easily. If you think you'll make use of two hoses later on, it wont hurt anything to plug one port for regular use, it will just cost a little more for the initial purchase and maybe prevent you from buying an entirely new hookah later on if you dont need it. The choice is yours, either way isn't a bad way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyt Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 extra hoses are nice but they are one more thing to worry about when you smoke, and if you are new you'll have enough trouble with a single hose hookah for a while. I would go with an Egyptian one hose. H-S has a decent selection and they throw in LOTS of free stuff. You can get a 22 inch hookah, plus a tub of AF and a box (10 rolls) for a bit under a hundred. I have the Nile, it is very simple and very low maintenance. The cobra hoses are the definition of a piece of shit, but you can make plastic hoses out of them that work very very well.

joseph* Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 My two hose pharaos is awesome, I would reccomend that as a good place to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 The Ivory hookahs in the Mini section of Hookah-Shisha.com are wonderful starter hookah. Not too small, not too big, come with a carrying case, and then come with 55 bucks in extras. Each one comes with an acrylic option, which is always good. i think if you ask them, they would give you a shaft that can be converted into a two hose shaft from 1 hose. Or buy a two hose, and since it's auto seal, not worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZenSilk Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I loved mine, smoked it every other day with my friends when i was a Junior. But then, some fat pale kid stole it, and i never saw it again. I loved that thing! Nice and sturdy, and i even brought it to Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZenSilk Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Yeah dude, hookah for hand. That's the lawww of the land. I actually sold him a rusty 2 hose rotator that was crooked that i got my money back for for 130 dollars. I said "no hard feelings" so i'd give him a "deal". I hope he likes the tastes of bloody car keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester589 Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 Figured I would bump this thread due to my purchase of my first hookah! I went with a one hoser from alfakheronline.com, the 36 incher. I could not resist how sexy it was and with the nice reviews it got in the review section here, it seemed like a good purchase. Thanks for your help guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
