Looking To Buy My First Hookah...need Opinions


Recommended Posts

I'd go with the Hookah company package. It's a nice looking hookah and it's not too big not to small. You get a few bonuses and it costs about as much as one of those smaller ones. And with hookah company if anything goes wrong they fix it right away/ give you free stuff. they are pretty cool I'd stick with them. I bought my mom a 21" red sangria hookah from them and she loves it. I paid under $75 and bought her a great hookah and a whole helluva lot of shisha.

Don't get a no-name Egyptian cause you will be very disapointed in how it looks and things may be wrong with it form the start.

Go for a Modern or Mya hookah for your first hookah. Edited by ZenSilk

VERY dissapointed? What in the world are you talking about?

I own more than 7 Egyptians, and they ALL out preform and out smoke all my Syrian and other Hookahs that I have. None of which gave me problems, not from the start. And then again, I know Hookahs inside out, so the biggest problem is usually not problem for me.

I noticed people on this site don't like Egyptian Hookahs too much...

And as for looks?

I'm just going to stand over here quietly on the side of the Egyptians including the "no name" one I own that performs flawlessly every single time I light it.

Okay, to hell with quiet....... If you can't work a traditional pipe or aren't willing to put in the effort to learn then you cannot count yourself as a true hookah pro in my opinion. And I'm not even calling myself a pro..... I just follow directions with consistently good results.

Oh, wait..... Would following directions be a "girl thing"..... (Sorry guys, couldn't resist.)

But he is a First Time smoker. It takes a bit of work to keep up an Egyptian and get it smoking as well we know it can. That's why i say Mya. like an Acrylic.


But Zen, the very first pipe I ever smoked out of was my own Egyptian I ordered online. I didn't find there was a learning curve at all. I read the directions twice, set it up, lit up, and voila....... Been working perfectly ever since right from that very first time.

HAHA! Good shit guy's, but not sure if I am more or less confused than when I started. I am leaning towards the 21" Egyptian Hookah off Hookah Kings.....not too tall, not too small....and comes with all the goodies. Looks legit too, but what you guys think? Will I be satisfied?

or this modern one:

between those 2 id get the one with the blue frosted vase, it looks like the pull would be easier, you could see the water level, and it looks like the stem goes down farther.. but between the 2 it doesnt look like either has a nice smooth pull a mya has (small myas have been the best pull out of all the small hookahs ive smoked out of, but i havent tried a junior yet)

Thanks. The Vase came from Syria. I had a hard time looking for one on US websites, so I just gave up and had my parents bring one back from their most recent trip.

Two more should be coming back around...mid February. I could possibly have them bring a 3rd one if you are interested. I don't want to give you a price on it because I don't know how much its going to cost, but it should not be much. Designs will be different.

Edit: here's a much more detailed picture.


pdxrollo, as Canon suggested, stick with the blue frosted base. Edited by Codename067
