Nail I3unny Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Hello. A friend and I are looking to buy our first hookahs...but since we're planning on living in an apartment sometime in the near future, we decided to skip the smaller, personal ones and pitch in on a larger one. We're both fairly new to hookah (and we've actually only smoked together once with another friend), so we've decided that we want to research some before we ultimately buy one. I was hoping some of the people here could help us out.What we're looking for right now is a good hookah around 24-26 inches...we're willing to stray from this a bit...and we also want multiple hoses...preferably three or four. What hookahs would you guys recommend within these standards? and what vendors do you consider reliable?Thanks in advance for any response.

SimplexCoda Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Well i dont personally dig multi hosers but thats just me. For a quality multi hoser i would suggest a Mya brand hookah. They have lots in your size range. The biggest thing i can say is stick around learn some and have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fineout Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 id go for a mya as well as they can be converted from 1 hose to multiple hoses and are good hookahs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What hookahs would you guys recommend within these standards? and what vendors do you consider reliable?Thanks in advance for any response.Your desired size seems common, and not at all one you will have difficulty finding. You shouldn't also have any difficulty finding a multi-hose rig, though I don't suggest one. Unless you can find a multi-hose KM, MZ, or Syrian, e.g. Nour, I think a single hose pipe from any of those brands will provide good sessions, even if you have to "pass the pipe." In my experience those no-name multi-hose rigs peddled by most sites just don't produce good smoke sessions, which I think is caused by their usually restrictive pipes. Perhaps some of those rigs can be bettered by using larger diameter hoses, like a KM Ultimate, Razan, or Nammor hoses, but...there's no guarantee.If you're solid on the multi-hose rigs, check out Mya, which does produce quality pipes. I have a couple myself (a QT, two hose capable, and a Paragon, four hose capable). Their hollow tubing harbors scents from prior sessions and can be more difficult to clean - that is unlike any of the brands I mentioned because those have solid (as in one straight tube) stems that you can easily clean thoroughly with an appropraite length pipe cleaner.

Bulldog_916 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 http://www.socialsmoke.com/item--Orion-III...HOOKAHOR04.htmlGet this baby. Fits your size requirement, number of hoses, and its a MZ. Cant go too far wrong there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 We've had a few bad reviews about smoking-hookah. Better perhaps to stick to a more relaible vendor.Persoanlly, stick to 2 hoses max, after that its a pain in the arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippo_Master Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 No no, smoking-hookah just has not-so-high quality rigs.You want a Mya for multiple hoses, that's it. It will last you a long time. Hookah-Shisha.com would be your best bet for a Mya. They come with shanks that can have hose ports added to them, and taken off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahwahoo2006 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 As has been mentioned, I would say go with a nice single hose. Typically, you will get less smoke and both people smoking at the same time can be problematic, so you might as well stick with the single hose. Additionally, for me at least, passing the hose is part of the fun, social aspect of smoking hookah. I'm biased, but I love my 26" KM Amer, so that would be my recommendation. Also, for the full package, I would also recommend getting a phunnel bowl, glass phunnel mod, and razan/nammor hose. Feel free to find me on chat or send me a PM if you want more advice.

ryno Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 If you're dead set on a multihose (my first hookah was a 3 hose, and I regret ever having it) get a Mya hookah-shisha.com is probably your best place for a MyaIf you think you can deal with a one hose, check out KMs, MZs, and Nours. FOr those I'd goto gothookahs.com or hookahcompany.comThe one good thing about the Mya pipes is you can make them go from 1 to 4 hose, so you really cant go wrong with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickReppinThe909 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 i would go with an MZ multi hoser because IMO myas are over priced crap and for the price of one mya multi hoser ($80-160) you can get 2 of these and get a better session every time and if you cant agree on a flavor then you can each have your ownhttp://shop.gothookahs.com/product.sc?cate...mp;productId=24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxerbabe84 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I agree with the mya as well. It will be your best bet. I have a mya and love it. Hookah-Shisha.com has many mya's to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antouwan Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 i had a mya 2 hoser, and imo, single hosers are MUCH better than multi hosers, just get over it and pass the hose... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuburbanSmoker Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 When it comes to multi hosed hookahs, i only use them at big parties. With that said i am a fan of the acrylic myas because they are close to indestructable. Ive smoked out of 2 hosed hoookahhookah/SS build your own gyptians and they smoke decently. I wouldn't go over 2 hoses because it is a pain in the ass, and if you have that many people smoking with you to need 3-4 hoses you might as well just fire up another hookah.

Capt. Morgan Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 A Hs been repeatedly stated MYa is your best best for a multi hose hookah. Myas get pricey quick, I'd suggest a mya acrylic. That would be about the cheapest mya you'll find for your requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indian_villager Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) I have to admit that obelisk is pornographic but at that price I don't think I'll be owning one....Besides if I had that kind of money to blow on hookah stuff it would be going towards some sort of KM ice hookah (Like the mash'al from moose) and a ton of tangy.And I agree with the above pick up a smaller multihose mya or a multihose MZ.

Nail I3unny Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Ok...you guys have me convinced about getting a single hose hookah.Does anybody have anything to say about this hookah? http://www.hookahcompany.com/blue_kawthar_...h_3245_prd1.htmAlso...any suggestions for a first hookah in that size range?
