I'm new to the hookah thing,ive smoked at bars and at a friends house. Though I was wondering whats the difference between all the different types of hookahs like Egyptian Syrian Etc... I found one on hookahcompany.com http://hookahcompany.com/17_quot_small_29_prd1.htm and i was wondering if anybody has it and what they thought about it.

I would say the key to smoking Hookah's is personal preference. Everybody likes different types of hookah's differently. In my experiences the larger Hookah's always smoke better though. The two I have are 33" and 29". I have tried a 16"-17" it was still amazing but just found the quality of the smoke to be lower than that of a larger hookah.

Cheers.

I'm glad i started on the piece of shit that I did... I learned how to get a good smoke out of it so when I moved up to nicer hookahs I could really get em goin.

It helps you learn better heat managment and makes you appreciate it more I think.

Plus, if its not for you, you arent out a ton of money.

Enjoy, and post up any set up questions you got. Were happy to help.

P.S Welcome to the forums.


EDIT: I just realized I unintentionally called that a piece of shit, which it isn't. I meant my mini pumpkin that I started on was a POS. That looks like a decent piece for a starter.

Good luck =)

Definitely buy what YOU like... but also be aware of the differences between pipes made in China (assembly line) and those made in Egypt/Syria etc (hand made).

You could buy a cheap-o first hookah to learn the ropes, and upgrade to something nicer later on, or you could spend just a tad bit more on a very nice one in the beginning, and have it with you forever (so long as you take care of it, of course!)... if I could do it all over again, I would have gotten a totally different hookah than my first one, which was made in China. I like the hand-made look and feel... slight imperfections add character, I say! smile.gif

But of course, you may feel different... and that's totally cool!

You should definitely check out the Mya acrylic...

I started out with a crappy chinese made pear hookah (12") now I'm on my second, a 29" egyptian and the pear now sits, alone, never to be used again. Go with a medium (22" -29") if you don't plan on moving it much, or buy a MYA QT, everyone here loves those things.
