Jmila1901 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Well like the title reads, i am planning on making the switch from hookah lounges to my own living room haha... For the last year or so ive been smoking at Oasis here in Miami and its cool and all, i usually take friends to help spread the cost. But i dont think it worth it after educating myself a while on hookah... They only provide one small coal, the hookah wont usually last more than 45 minutes, flavors are not too pungent and the smoke isnt satisfying for long...Now ive got a few questions for the pros around here...Does size matter? Will a larger hookah provide a better smoke? Or is it just for looks? What kind of hookah do you recommend? Are their certain coals that go best with certain tobacco? Ex Naturals with Al Fakher Bahraini Apple Gold... Does it alter the smoke or flavor?Hoses, are the different styles just for looks? Or are their different diameter hoses? I know i just want one thats washable like the Nammor Hookah HoseAny opinions on accessories like the Hepa Defuser (plan on buying), Filtered tips, Wind Covers, Screens and FoilThanks for help!

Will a larger hookah provide a better smoke? Or is it just for looks? Bigger isn't always better and smaller isn't always better. I guess the biggest key is to only have one hose! It is fun to have many hoses and many people smoking at once, but for every person you add, the worse the quality of the smoke gets. You can also have problems with leaks when only smoke with one hose on a multiple hose hookah.What kind of hookah do you recommend? I would recommend any kind of MYA. People complain that they are chinese and so on, but these hookahs are perfect. Every seal is perfect, every part fits flawlessly. I have heard a lot of great things about the KM hookahs, the only thing that scares me is the level of quality control Egypt has.. not very high.Are their certain coals that go best with certain tobacco? Ex Naturals with Al Fakher Bahraini Apple Gold... Does it alter the smoke or flavor? It is all about heat management and finding what you like. Have fun:)Hoses, are the different styles just for looks? Or are their different diameter hoses? I know i just want one thats washable like the Nammor Hookah Hose. That is what I would have suggested. Just make sure you have a hookah that is sturdy. Some of the smaller hookahs are tipped easily by this hose.Any opinions on accessories like the Hepa Defuser (plan on buying), Filtered tips, Wind Covers, Screens and Foil. The Diffuser is great for movies. It makes the hookah quieter! Other than that the only benefit I see is that it breaks the bubbles up into smaller ones, more surface area=more filtering. The filtered tips are a waste. All they are is a charcoal filter inside a pretty plastic mold. Wind cover is essential sometimes, if you dont have one you will be making one out of foil when you do need one:) Screens=no. Foil wise I always like using th ehookah foil, otherwise find the most thin foil you can, usually the cheapest. It allows the most heat transfer.Thanks for help!

Seanij Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Egyptians tell me anything over 30" is nothing more than an ornament.Get a KM or MZ.No, certain coals dont go with anything though if that counts(shitty ones).Nammor all the way if you can get one( hose )Diffuser is good if you dont like the sound of the hookah, i love it!

PhishPhood Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Get whatever you think looks good, but I gotta say... In my mind nothing beats a good egyptian. Post what you're thinking about here before you order. Chances are someone has smoked it and can give you feedback good or bad.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elky Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Ice in the water cools down the smoke and supposedly makes it denser, but at some loss to flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
