Hexagon Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I have a small Egyptian hookah and it works really well. I bought it for 3 bucks in Egypt it is about 14" height. When I tried it for the first time I was amazed. It's really good and easy to transport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR Bubble Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Like Hexagon, I think that is about the size I bought once for an emergency and it was great! I wouldn't go any smaller than that. A couple of the folks here have used a small hand-held machine that they described as harsh, and a waste of money. With the 14" Egyptian, you can buy a small carrying case for it that should make it practical. MR Bubble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavlakos_politakos Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I own a small 14" syrian hookah.its ok but i definitely prefer the big ones.and its easy to hide. -------------------------------- ELLAS!!! HOORAH FOR NARGHILEH!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmexx Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 Where have you found these? I'll never smoke from the handhelds, my friend bought one at a flea market and it's horrible. I want one with an actual hose, seperate bowl, etc. Any sites would be great!Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I have a very small, all metal Syrian pipe (attached for Syrian head, too!). Since its all metal and has weighted bottom, it is fairly stable. In my opinion, the best size is around 24-26in. Smaller ones don't hit well (Usually they hit "short" or "overhit") and tend to tip over too easily, whereas taller ones tend to tip over too easily or hit too "mushy" or "underhit".Yes I realize I said that short and tall ones both tend to tip over too easily...its a paradox.

jmexx Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 I know I won't get the best quality of smoke, I own 7 hookahs, some really tall and most regular sized, but I need one for another place so I can hide it quite easily.Now, out of all the small ones, I'd like to know which ones would smoke the best.Thanks!Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavlakos_politakos Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 the 14" i own is not really hanheld.well its not in the sense that it comes apart like a regular narghileh.its just small,tips over easily and head sucks because itonly has 1 hole at the bottom....

Sariél Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I'm betting the new QT mya's would fit the bill. How small do you need? You don't have to smuggle it in someplace... uncomfortable, do you. If so, find the smallest vase you can and take two trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmexx Posted December 30, 2005 Author Share Posted December 30, 2005 No no, it's not for smuggling. It's really just something I can easily hide. I have my hookah stash at one house and I want a small one for my mothers, she doesn't like the idea too much and would get upset with massive pipes everywhere (she doesn't mind me smoking it, after all I am 18.) I think the MYA would be best... I'm hoping they can give me a price for shipping to Canada!Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sariél Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Do they have Spencers Gifts stores in Canada?I think Spencer's is selling the QT line.Good to know you're not inserting it soewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
