Going To Buy My First Hookah


Recommended Posts

I'm going to order my first hookah soon, but I'd like some advice first.
I'll be ordering my stuff from Germany, since the local- and webshops here in the Netherlands are too expensive or don't have what I want.
Only problem is that shipping costs will be high, so I want to order everything I need plus some replacement parts.

I'll be ordering everything from http://www.shisha-world.com/

I'm going for the Mya QT.
I'm getting a wind cover, an extra hose adapter and hose.
Also I'll need some grommets.. Now here I'm not really sure about what I should get and how many of them.
How long does it take them to wear out?

Then for the tobacco bowls.. should I get some extra bowls, or is the standard one that comes with the QT enough?
Also, do all bowls and hoses fit on all hookahs? (I see there are some different types of bowls :/ )

Some other stuff I shouldn't forget?

Hi Loki, no need for a wind cover cause it should come with it (and i've only used mine a handfull of times). Just get 1 extra pair, 2 hose grommets and 1 bowl grommet will do you good smile.gif. The bowl that comes with the QT is great for starting out easy to set up and doesn't eat shisha like the phunnel dry.gif. If you have any more questions asked just ask biggrin.gif.

IF you want a phunnel don't get anything bigger then a med, and thats if you are smoking with friends. Personally I enjoyed the qt bowl and I would just buy lots of shisha over another bowl for now

my 2 cents


I agree. If you can buy some sampler packs with different flavors from different companys (Romman, Al Fahker, Al waha, Havana, Nakhla, I'm pretty sure there are more with cheap 50g baggies.) which should last you about 5 bowls = to 5 hours.

Remember.

This is a german website and German has some odd rules on the amount of glycarin that is allowed in tobacco [5% MAX]

So you will want to order some of there glycarin products, I would suggest teh bahraine honey mix [honey and glycarin] and then add a good amount to your tobacco.

Jebus, that's a huge order. Also since you're new to the forums, Hello from Miami Florida USA! biggrin.gif. What kind of tobacco did you get? Oh, and before i forget, i would love to see pictures of your order ( mostly your hookah cause i like when people are happy, and it never hurts to share the momen tongue.gif) when it comes.

Thanks Dekon biggrin.gif
I ordered apple from 2 different brands, chocomint, coconut, lemon, peach, caramel, and some other flavors.
The brands are Nakhla, Al Waha and Serbetli.. I also wanted to try Al Fahker since I heared it's pretty good, but they didn't sell it.
Next time I order tobacco I'll buy some bigger packs that I like and also try some more new small packs smile.gif

I'll be sure to make pictures when I get it biggrin.gif

That's one cute QT. I hope everything works out perfectly for you, and thank you for taking some of my advice. Trying out different brands of tobacco narrows down on the ones that you like the most.


EDIT : YOU HAVE A DREAMCAST? ohmy.gif ohmy.gif ohmy.gif ohmy.gif wub.gif wub.gif wub.gif wub.gif wub.gif wub.gif . I really wish sega waited a year or two to release the dreamcast. To this day my brother plays it sometimes. We've had it for 8 years and it still works! Of course there are some broken things with it. But hey it's a great console. Edited by Dekon

Thanks tongue.gif
Yeah, Dreamcast is my favorite consoles.. I also got a NES, N64, Xbox and Playstation under my tv. biggrin.gif

Well, I can get more glycerin from my dad if I need more, so no problem there.
I tried some apple tobacco today.. but I guess I didn't pack it right and the tobacco got burned.. also on an empty stomach it wasn't really a good idea I think.
I need to get the hang of it. I'll try again this evening and hope it goes better then. smile.gif

btw, I got these 3 kings coals... what side should be up? Edited by Loki

I see that you ordered glycerin specifically for shisha. Is that from the site you ordered? And those coals! I think I saw them in a german video about hookah and they were using large cube shaped coals.

I just stole the avatar on some other forum, Cheese smile.gif

The glycerin was bought from the same site, it's from Hubbly Bubbly.. looks like it's made in Germany.


Here's the coal next to a 40mm 3 kings.
I haven't tried it yet.
