hookahlife Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Hey CKookah,Welcome to the forum. 1. Its an ok hookah for light personal use, like if you smoke once a month by yourself. Its too small to use with other people because you basically have to hold it while you smoke. Although it does smoke well, I wouldnt recommend it for use with friends or groups.2. The QT is a great hookah, smokes well and comes with everything you need including a carrying case. Some people may not know this, but the QT carry case is actually made so that you can smoke the hookah while its setup inside the case. Its also a Mya Saray, so you get some great benefits such as being able to get replacement parts easily and from basically every vendor. The stem is built really well and the glass can usually take a beating, although recently the glass quality has come down a little and we have received some complaints about it.3. Great travel hookah. It does smoke well and its cool to be able to choose multiple bottles as your vase but it has some faults. There is no release valve, so you cant purge stale smoke. It doesnt come with a tray, so you would have to order that separately and the downstem is pretty long, almost 12", so you are confined to using relatively large bottles. However it does come with a bag. Personally, at the current price its a little too expensive for what you get, in my opinion.4. The Bambino, basically all of the same qualities as the QT except it comes with a hard briefcase-like carrying case ad the glass quality is slightly more consistent and better. The Pumpkin is about 1/2 the size of a QT. Hope this helps.Regards,MikeHookah Lifewww.hookah-life.comsupport@hookah-life.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahwahoo2006 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I've got a QT and love it, and I have heard good things about the bambino as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Go with a bambino or QT. Don't ever EVER buy a pumpkin hookah. EVER. the Hobohookah is nice, but it's too expensive, a QT or Bambino costs 20 bucks less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akkbar Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 out of that list, i recommend the bambino. but honestly, get a medium egyptian for your first personal pipe. easy to learn on, and practically idiot proof. and they last oo. i got an egyptian from smoking-hookah for my first one, and bambino for my second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leadpipecinch21 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 whichever vendor gives you the best freebies(www.hookah-shisha.com gets my vote for best freebies). a QT wouldn't be a bad way to start out for you, so have fun with it if you get it.

CKOOKAH Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 hummm so now im on the fence between birdcage or something else with a more protective case any reccomendations??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akkbar Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 dont use the birdcage, id use a small dufflebag instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leadpipecinch21 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 unless you're thrashing your hookah, the cage is going to be protection enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I don't think there's anyhting wrong with the cage that comes with the QT at all, it's just your preference. I don't see how it matters much. Well, actually, if your gonna be taking your hookah on an airplane...You might want a padded hardcase. But that's the only reason i can think of. Other than that... And the cage, you can suspend it in middair hanging from your ceiling, i rigged that up a couple times. It sat at about chest level, perfect for coal movement and such. That's always fun. And it's much easier to put the hookah into the cage then disassembling it and putting it in the case. And also, the hobohookah... I have never tried one, and the only thing pushing me away is the price... but that hting looks like a little beast, and from what i've heard it's extremely durable. And plus, that's not much to carry around. I bet you might even be able to fit it in the glovecompartment of your car. . And Hpnotiq bottles woop ass, and so do Vox vodka bottles...Or this one!... looks like a hookah vase... http://www.internetwines.com/rws16211.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobocans Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Its on Monmouth and...the one street north of Newark. Near Franks Pizza if you ever go there.Abby's looks like an Irish Pub. But walk in, and they have some rotators in the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SafeSearchOff Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 is Montgomery n or s of Newark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobocans Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I think it is Montegomery. I know that Colombus is South of newark (the Hudson is approx east), so its the street north of Columbus and Newark.Also, if you want a more traditional experience, there is a great Egyo hookah bar up on Kennedy (JSQ). Its right at the corner, where Kennedy turns. Its upstairs, you can see the hookahs through the 2nd floor window from the street. Its also about half the price (but no liquor).
