oolatec Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Eh... you really do get what you pay for... a $30 Chinese hookah won't be that good, in my opinion. Spend a tad bit more, especially from a reputable site like:Hookah-shisha.comshopping.socialsmoke.comHookahCompany.com... and get something that will last you awhile.Be ready to spend at least $50 for a good Egyptian/Syrian/Mya.

mushrat Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 There are also several small sturdy hookahs by Mya, the QT,solo,razo. etc...I think that hookah you linked may require special hoses...anyone else recognise the hoses with the interior extensions that won't fit any other hose?

mathuv Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 my friend has a 1 hose version of that hookah. its not that great but still good. imo the bowl is too wide and the pull is a bit hard. not much smoke either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr!m Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 (edited) I would stay away from chinese made hookahs unless it's a MYA. My first was the 12" pear from Hookah-Shisha, and the stem started to corrode within a month of normal everyday use. I also cleaned it properly. You'll be VERY happy with a real egyptian made hookah. Check out Caravansarai on ebay, I got my hookah from them for $26 (29" Egyptian) and I LOVE it. Then buy a phunnel bown and Razan/Nammor hose and you'll be set for a good long time. edit:I also just had to say this. I HATE when retailers cross out a supposed "retail" price and add their price then saying you save "$x.xx" amount of money, because that is almost always a load of steam bs.
