Victim026 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 The reviews have been decent on the hobohookah, but as a first hookah I'm gonna venture to say no. It's less fool proof then a standard egyptian especially for someone not used to doing there own hookahs, hell I know the lack of a coal tray would have royally screwed me the first few times I smoked and had careless accidents before I was more careful. I'd say look at a decent Egyptian or even a smaller Mya for a good first time smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLUS it has a 30 day warranty now instead of the 14 day no question asks one.SO I would say go for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalSoil Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 and as for the try thing you can pick one up at almost any online vendor when you get some coals and shisha!and the dishwasher thing fucking rocks and the base thing has infinate possiblilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canon Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 dont listen to those people above. the hobo hookah is in now way suitable for your first hookah. id say go for a small mya. easy to clean easy to get smoking and portable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMoodz Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I have a hobohookah and I like it a lot. If you're really interested, you should buy it as your 2nd hookah... but for now you should stick to a decent Egyptian, Syrian, or Mya. I'd look into a Mya QT.

jerrysalem Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I have both the hobo hookah and the gyro and love both of them for different reasons. The hobo hookah smokes like a large hookah, lots of smoke when set up right, and you can take it anywhere at all, easily. It's built very well and I even use it alot at home. If I was on a budget I'd just get the hobo and add the big one later-the quality on this one rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canon Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 hobo is 60 bucks, for that price you can get a nice small hookah and some tobacco.. hobo is not meant for a first pipe. go with something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staygone Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 If you smoke at parties and stuff, get the hobo. Thing smokes like a champ, and you never have to worry about broken vases. I loooooove mine, it's my only hookah now.-QM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

staygone Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Question, why wouldn't the hobo be suitable for a first hookah?-QM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMoodz Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 It's personal preference. One thing bothers me about it is you can't just use any hose with it. You either have to have a screw on hose or use a hose adapter that fits perfectly. There's also no smoke release valve. It doesn't come with an ashtray but Mya QT ashtrays work with it. Don't get me wrong, I really like the hobohookah and I own one myself... but it wouldn't have been my first hookah. Like I said earlier, it's personal preference. My recommendation is do not buy a cheap ol' Chinese hookah. Get something with quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sariél Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 If you're still deciding, I vote no hobohookah for your first pipe. Learn on a standard, tried and tested for generations hookah. The hobohookah, in my opinion is a specialized pipe for a specific purpose. I don't think you can go wrong with a Mya QT as a first hookah. Its a standard design, with the same type of parts found on most every hookah in the world. No special hoses or bowls, purge valve, expandable to two hoses, and is still small enough to be portable. Or easy to hide from the 'rents, if that is a factor.Learn to get a good smoke on that, and you can use that expertise on everybody else's. Then you can get phunnel bowls, combo bowls, nammor hoses, quad bowls, hobohookahs, 4ft tall 8 hose rotators, specialty and novelty pieces.

The Devils Playground Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Canon is right on the money there. thats not going to be the Hookah to start with. Thats a car hookah at best. Dude get a decent Mya, maganda etc... for the first one. Experience hookah right and go from there. Once you have a small hookah get a nice larger one then make that like #3.This way you have went from average/good to good and then you have a toy also.Just what I think.

jerrysalem Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I love my Hobo but it is my secondary to my Mya Gyro. These days because the hobo doesn't fit the Nammor and I smoke mostly at home. Mya QT may be a good first choice since it's top quality Mya (stainless innards) and portable. Learn on a decent hookah, made well! I can't emphasize this enough having gotten stuck with a POS and overpriced one that I got in Istanbul. But I would not give up my hobo for anything, it'll go anywhere, smokes beautifully and is a great conversation starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathuv Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 as a first hookah i would recommend an egpytian..cheap and a classic, cant go wrong with it. i've used nothing but egyptians all my life (unless you count the chinese one my friend has) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
