Need Help Picking A Hookah


Recommended Posts

1. Has to look good
2. Has to be tall
3. Single hose is fine, dont mind having more if the hookah will come with plugs
4. Price limit=$80 shipped
5. Style=any

Basically a college student, want something that will smoke well, and last a while (with proper cleaning of course)

Here are the 2 I have in mind so far, any other suggestions welcome

1. 22" Anwaar Egyptian
2. 33" Egyptian Lotus

Kinda leaning towards number 2 right now because its only a bit more money, but looks fantastic, and is bigger.

Anyone recomend one of the 2, or any other good hookahs?? Thanks!

Both of those seem like good pipes, and I am sure they will smoke fine. Although, to make your decision harder I would suggest a Kahlil Mamoun. I place that has a good selection of them is at https://www.pimpyourhookah.com/index.php?op...1&Itemid=26 (Although I have heard mixed reviews from there website). Have fun shopping for a great hookah (I suggest getting a phunnel bowl and natural coals as soon as you can).

I would definitely go with the Lotus, no question.

A while back I ordered the larger form of that Anwaar hookah. I received it in terrible condition, paint missing from the base, just not a good looking hookah in person.

I could recommend the jandr syrians simply from everything postive I have read about them. Everyone seems to really like them. I'm actually getting my own jandr syrian in the mail in a few days. It's also in your price range

I would have to agree with rayver and oolatec. I own a JandR Syrian and love it. Not a negative thing about it. I am in the process of gettin another one from him.

do not limit yourself in price when it comes to a hookah. you will regret it i promise. i highly suggest going to southsmoke.com and getting the mya frost.
i use that with a tangiers phunnel bowl and i just ordered one of the nammor hoses. I consider it a perfect setup. and it pays for itself when friends chip in money to smoke your stuff because your hookah is better.

Talked to my bro, and told him to cancel the order and he said they told him it was OK. I really like that Mya Frost, but is it good the way it is when you buy it...also is there some kinda discount I can get on it?? Does it come with a case?? Do you have any pix of yours?

one thing to say. If your budget is about 70 bucks for the actual hookah, go with a KM or a Magdy Zidan. Or, check out Furathookahs.com.

Oh,, and dont get a Syrian from H-S. Save your money. Edited by ZenSilk

Ohh, well if it's a Mya, they all perform the same, 23" and up.
It's just the glass you need to worry about. Haha, so i guess your budget got a boost?

100 shipped i guess...I really like the Frost but I found a not so good review about it on here that the threading was bad and all

Whats the difference between the Modern, Egyptian, Mya, etc. hookahs

Ugh, that's a complicated question.

For 100 dollars shipped, you aren't gonna find a nice mya. Myas generally range from 110-160 dollars, for the nice models, the pretty ones.

But anyway,
- Mod hookahs are just newer style hookahs, all have auto-seal usually, threaded stems and such.
- Mya are Chinese made, not by hand, but function well.
- Egyptian are traditional and hand-made, best in 1 hose models.
- Syrian are hand made or machine made, depending on where you buy. They are usually brass (except H-S), and very durable, more on the expensive side though. Social smoke Syrian are in the 100 dollar price range.

Im leaning towards that Glyph. My bro emailed me asking what I want for Chanukah so I emailed him the link to it and he emailed me back sayin he ordered it and hes gona get me a bunch of shisha for it diff flavors n all

I spent about a month deciding on which pipe to order, and settled on the 2-hosed Green & Gold Glyph. It is my favourite by any company in terms of aesthetics, and H-S pipes are the most functional (multiple auto-seals, screw-tight grommets).

I was actually unable to find a single brass Syrian on SocialSmoke.com... everyone that I looked at was steel, and over 1/2 of JandR Syrians are steel... hookahcompany, smoking-hookah, hookah-life, southsmoke, mostly all steel. Edited by gaia.plateau

Also check out the Dahab and the Tri-Metal on that same site.

Any of those would be great choices.

Would they last long?? I dont wana get something thats really fragile you know what i mean...i really like that khalil I posted though its pretty impressive lookin, and the tallest of the bunch...and from what I searched, I see it works well
