gixxer Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 hey everyone I've been lurking around here for a couple months. I'm finally looking to pick up my own hookah and I'm just looking for some feedback. Most of my friends at school have generic 2-3 hose hookahs, fairly smaller. If you were in my situation would you pick up a two hose acrylic or a similarly priced km? I've never smoked out of either so I can't really go by quality except for what I hear. I think it would be nice to have a multihose because we always smoke in groups, but since my friends always bust theirs out maybe it would be good to go with a nice km and have it personal, idk decisions decisions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indian_villager Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 The KM in my opinion works better but if the multihose thing is necessary then go for the MYA they smoke fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilgrim Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I'd go with mya because og the multi hose thing, and if you smoke with a lot of people in you room, eventually some retard will knock your hookah down by accident.. No worries if it's an acrilyc, potential disaster if it's a glass vase... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinite Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Go for the KM. I have both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb1021 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) multihosers dont work really well because if more than 1 person smokes at once, you will burn the tobacco. the only difference is that you will not have to pass the hose if you are sharing the shisha. it's really good to have multiple shisha going because you dont have to keep passing the hose, also you can switch flavors whenever you pass the hose. so get the KM.

kvtaco17 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I have both Mya's and Km's and honestly would probably scoop a Mya in ur situation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinamon Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 i own KM, MZ and Mya and i would definitely have to say that KM is the best out of the three.screw the other people that want to smoke. it is your hookah, not theirs.since your friends already own multihose hookahs then let them smoke from theirs and buy one just for yourself.

Giant Ninja Robot Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Well I own 2 KMs (and a QT) but I've smoked from the larger (22inch?) acrylic also and I'd say either way you're good to go.I have a soft spot for the Acrylic since the best smoke session I've had came from it so I'd say go for it, check and see if you can get the vase with the black stripes, it's badass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jezter6 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Like others have said, it depends on your situation.If you want a multi-hoser, go with the acrylic, however I'd upgrade to a stem that can go up to 4 ports if you want to add more later. I got the "Artoo" from H-S which has a 4 port base, even if it only came with 2. I just ordered more ports.If you want a great smoke, get the KM. It will be unbelievable. However, the limitation is passing a hose around. If you're a hose hog, you'll do just fine with the acrylic. If you're into passing, get the KM.

My vote goes towards a nice KM hookah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxer Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 I appreciate all the feedback. After some thinking I realize I'm a selfish bastard and I'm going with a km, along with some tangiers + funnel I'll probably pick up the ice from gothookahs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multi-hose hookahs work fine, you should never be burning tobacco as you're not setting it on fire and are baking it. It may bake faster because of people taking more hits, but so what? The whole point is that everyone actually ends up smoking more without passing the hose.Also, how long does it take you to pass a hose? For me it takes about .5 of a second, so I don't have time to pack a new bowl, or put on a prepacked bowl, and wait for coals to heat up. You must have some sort of ornate, hose passing ceremony everytime a hose gets passed, which would allow for you to switch flavors constantly. Please videotape it and put it up on youtube for us all to see.To the OP: Go with both. Don't choose. Get a mini mya acrylic for 20 bucks from Ebay, with 2 hoses and get the KM for yourself. The Mini Mya is great to have and it's el cheapo. Problem solved. Edited January 15, 2009 by An1m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 multi hose hookahs never work as well as single hose. both people cant smoke at once, you either get auto seal, or you have to hold your finger over the tip...its just not worth it.get a single hose...enjoy life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpw36 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 gotta agree with scoop single hose makes life easier and also a km would be a better ur best bet unless ur a noob then go with a mya qt or bambino to get used to and to make sure you still like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
