MWlax00 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Okay guys, for the last few weeks i ave been searching for a first hookah of my own. I have found a few that i like the looks of, but simply cant come to a decision. Part of this is because i don't really know what I'm doing/what to look for. I was seeing if anyone had any ideas for me.i am looking for something cheapish. (going to be in a college dorm, college budget) something under $40. i know this makes it difficult. but strict budget. already have shisha and coals picked out from MNH. with possibly a razan hose, depending on total cost of hookah.I want something in two-three hose.I love the looks of the blue colored hookahs. like http://www.hookah-a1.com/double-hoses-hook...ha/prod_89.html. or http://hookahcompany.com/ocean_blue_egypti...h_1928_prd1.htmalso, i don't want the small mya style. looking for something over 21".i also need something to come with all the accessories. tongs, bowl, etc.And I'm looking for something semi portable. maybe with a bag or case, which i could always buy separate if need be. I'm sorry you guys keep seeing threads like this, but I'm lost.any suggestions/input would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Cam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you said you don't want small mya's soo ... the other choice would be something like this: http://www.myasaray.com/store/item.asp?ITE...EPARTMENT_ID=46those are 40 and then the 15% discount would run you 34 bucks and with shipping you would be around mid 40's but those can't go multi hose, the multi hose mya's are like 65 and ^ I believe. But it is acrylic so no worries about your buds at school dropping it and shattering the vase.So i don't know of a good quality multi hose hookah for under 40.I say get one of those MZ's that are a 1 hose and just take turns on the hose. It's better that way you can sit and chit chat and enjoy conversation and learn patience .Edit: you could actually take a mya stem off of me that I own with no vase. You could buy the vase and I could give you the stem. The stem is clean and clear of anything, but let me warn you a bud of mine owned it before me, and it does smell like stale shisha and what not. If you soak it in baking soda for a day and cleaned it out nice it should be good to go. It's up to you, you could take it for 20 bucks or so if you want, here is the design of the stem : http://www.myasaray.com/store/item.asp?ITE...EPARTMENT_ID=49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you have room for up to 3 hoses. You would have to buy two of http://www.myasaray.com/store/item.asp?ITE...EPARTMENT_ID=36 those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBatcho07 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I'd say go with the MZ brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename067 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Is there a reason for a two hose if I may ask?I suggest you stick with 1 hose for the ultimate hookah experince, and then when you have enough $ to spend, buy something with multi hose ports.Both MZs linked by matt are decent for the price, you should really give them a thought.

MWlax00 Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 thanks again for the replies guys.and i was talking about your stem.and the reason for two hose is i dont want to hassle passing a single hose around a tight space. ie my balcony. and ill prolly have about 4 people smokeing all together, so i was thinking two to a hose.

Myas are made with good quality, as long as you keep the mz clean and take care of it you won't have issues. For the price an mz can't be beat.
