austinthecity Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hey,I'm new to the forum but it looks like a very social and friendly place. I've smoked out of several 1 hose hookahs, but have never smoked out of a multi.What are the main differences if any?Pros/Cons?Etiquette Concerns?TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfaltous Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I'm not overly experienced on multi-hose setups, but make sure you get something with valves for each hose. I know its a standard with Mya hookahs, but the ones I've tried just have open ended hoses and as such you need to be keeping your thumb over your hose whenever you're not puffing on it or else other people can't pull any smoke.As far as etiquette... don't blow into it while others are puffing away?

mushrat Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Don't get more than 2 hoses in my professional opinion. More than that and you are taking turns being able to hit it anyways so why not pass the hose? If you really gotta have 4 hoses going, just strat up 2 hookahs.I own several 2 hose, 1 4 house, and a few 1 hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinthecity Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 So with a 2hose hookah, do you just pass each hose between half of the people?Also, is there a different in quality of the smoke with or without hitting at the same time?Again, thanks for helping out this noob..

Making it hard for them to get any smoke anyways.I reccomend a 2 hose hookah if you have to have more than one, without autoseal and just train your friends to thunmb the hoses when they aren't hitting. The autoseals, even the good ones from Mya, will restrict the air flow to some degree. Just teach your friends how to smoke properly with the multi hose and go with that.

austinthecity Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 Thx for all the info, sounds like I'll stick with a 1hose though after the advice.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
