Buying A New Hookah


Recommended Posts

As said in the title, I am essentially new to hookah smoking, have smoked for about half a year. I have owned a hookah but it broke, which is fine because it was cheap and low quality. So now I want to buy a new one. One that has good quality. I am looking to spend at the most $100. Ive looked around the forums and have read good things about KM's, which appeal to me. So if anybody could give me any advice on good hookahs, KMs or any other brand, I would really appreciate it.

Oh yeah I am looking for one that produces a lot of smoke, so I dont know if that really relies on the hookah or the tobacco.

the smoke has most to do with how you set up your bowl, and how you mange your heat.

as for good hookahs, well...pretty much anything you get is going to be solid. the hookahs people recommend change a lot...this month's flavor happens to be KM and MZ, which are both quality pipes...couple months ago it was myas, and before that syrians, etc. so, look around the big sites(you can find all of the sites listed in the vendor review areas), find one you like the looks of, and more than likely you're going to be getting a quality pipe.

good luck dude, and welcome to the forums.

Size doesnt really matter (hehe) but a longer stem does cool the smoke a bit more = less harsh, also an ice bucket helps but is not anywhere near necessary, most hookahs dont have one. I actually realized that there can be too much ice, my KM parad-ice with lots of ice in the base + the bucket almost cools the smoke too much, makes a weird feeling in the throat. I i were you i would go for an KM, the stem/downstem "hole" is wide, so is the hose = crazily good draw and lots of smoke, and KM:s sounds like a fu*king cargo train which is also VERY nice smile.gif

I love my KM Dual tone. To bad the base recently broke and i am cursed to smoking out of my crappy no name three hose eqyptian. I smoked out of a mya for the first time last night aswell and damn that is also a nice pipe. I think once i update my hose on my KM though i will like it more.

KMs are awesome but I personally would recommend the Mya QT. Small, portable, easy to clean and smokes like a champ. I've bought 2 kms and a syrian since my qt and my qt still get used regularly. Spend the most you save on the hookah on extra tobacco. Edited by aethiolas
