While I haven't smoked from the Chic, I am quite sure it's about the same as the QT. In my opinion the extra $25 would be better spent on a Nammor (Mya hoses are good... for about 3 months). Or, get a Bambino and some mo'assel.As far as portability goes, you can always pick up a hard case for about $10 if you're not digging the birdcage that comes with the QT. The Bambino comes with a hard case which is the $10 difference. Edited February 18, 2008 by erufiku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopooshaboo Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 MYA frosted class has been notorious for having problems, ie being very thin and shattering, etc. However, so has the QTs... Get a bambino! If you really want one of the above two, get the qt, as it smokes great and when and if the base shatters you can get a new one for like 15 bucks, which I dont think you can do with the chic.

It's portable, and the base seems solid enough. Besides, bases can be bought for $15 off of H-S.com afair. It hits amazing for a 12", but people have complained about tipping issues with hoses like Nammor. I guess the QT would be more stable than a Bambino, but I love the Bam's stem too much, so in my next order I'm getting a QT vase to stick on my Bambino stem for smoking outside like somebody else has done.To end this rant: I'd go with the Bambino and an extra vase (which is exactly $70 that you would pay for a Chic) just in case. That way if one breaks during your escapades you can always smack the other one on and keep smokin x) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy1966 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Yup, if that is what you are looking for a good travel Hookah, then Bambino ll the way. I have one and it is a very nice Hookah. It is great for at home use as well. Easy to set up and clean and put back away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename067 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I take my 37"+ KM where ever I go. Got a bag for it with Newspapers [to wrap the base] along with the plate, stem, bowl, ect. I actually can fit Two KM's, with their entire body and accessories in that bag.Stick with a QT I guess if you want something that smokes ok and is very compact.

NarghileNights Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I would say either the bambino or the chic also.. The only thing that I like better about the chic is that the water level is much lower than the bambino, less of a chance to get some in the hose, more airspace for smoke.We havent been able to keep the chic's on the shelf and have had no complaints at all.

boulderkid303 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Get the QT. MNhookah.com has em in at a great price. Id do dat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeppyrkr Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I have bambino and qt, i say bambino all the way although i love my qt too! chic is just expensive for what i would think is the exact same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillZedKill Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 My vote is for the QT, the bambino is a great hookah, dont get me wrong, but its a bit stubby and a tad -too- small. The QT is wonderful. Aside from the common chamber on my QT, i have no complaints about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oggie505 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 (edited) Get a QT, i have had one for over 2 years and love it, but do not like the new design of the ash tray and screw on top, but get what you like, small hookahs are as good as any other Edited February 19, 2008 by Oggie505 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff_T Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Def. the QT, especially if you decide you want a nammor, or something similar in the future. Sturdy and smokes well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Devils Playground Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I drive witha Qt in the car. It does not tip over Its storng. It just cant be beat.The world has spoken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cr3am Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I've smoked from the Qt and personally I don't like the way it smokes... although I don't like most small hookahs.That said, I believe it is one of the best small hookahs I've come across.

DJnargile Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Bambino all the way. Yeah, the Chic has a smaller water level/larger smoke chamber, but I just think that the vase quality on the bambino is better overall. Only problem I've ever had with it is purge, and that's my experience with Myas all the way around. Case is great for taking it on trips too.If you wanna get crazy, go get a QT vase and the bambino stem. They look absolutely sick together. I think there's a pic floating around on the board here if you wanna look for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
