New Member, Critique On Future Setup?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, i'm Brandon, i'm 19 and live in Minnesota. (maybe a half hour from MNhookah, score)

Anyways, ive smoked at local lounges a few times and will be buying a hookah in roughly a month. Ive done a TON of reading and research around the boards and have decided on this setup. Thoughts?

Mya QT, black base.
Nammor hose.
Diffuser.
Tangiers small phunnel.

I'll also be ordering some tangiers "lucid," as it seems like one of the best shisha options for me. (quality product, LONG smoke and flavor, not a huge pricetag etc.)

For flavors i'm thinking about K cherry, horchata and watermelon. Sound good? Also, are the lucid flavors listed on hookah-shisha the only flavors currently offered in the lucid line?

Thanks much, i'm looking forward to learning more!

you are absolutely GOLDEN.
Just dont expect to get tangiers right the first few times you try it. itll take some trial and error. your flavors are perfect.
I would order some nakhla or something also just to keep around when your tangiers wont work. also good for a first smoke.

best of luck

sounds like you're right on the money, qt's smoke really nicely, especially with a razan or nammor hose.
i love my qt with razan and small phunnel setup, just dont expect a small phunnel to be small. theyre huge.


Haha, no joke. I'll use a scalli mod with it to shorten the sessions a bit and use less shisha.

Such a refreshing change of pace... a new member who actually reads the forums before he posts...

You shouldn't be disappointed with your purchases. That's a fine setup, and should do you well for a while.

I don't know if the diffuser will fit in the QT. Its not something that I've found to be that big of a deal with the smaller hookahs though...

Thanks man, I like to be educated about my interests so I don't go around asking dumb questions.

And yeah, idk. I might just skip that part and save the $10. I enjoy the bubbling noise anyways.

Really nice, you obviously have done some reading Hookah.gif As i understand it you shouldnt have any problem with the lucid tangiers, thats what i should have ordered but instead i thought i was the hookah master and now ive wasted like 120g of caffeinated orange soda...

Looks like a great order.  What coals are you going to be using.  You could try the Starlight Coconut Coals from MNH.


Probably the chronic hookah quicklights from hookahjohn, they seem to be the best quick lights.

I dont feel like messing with natural coals, not at first at least...

i'd second the suggestion on skipping the diffuser...there's several methods on making your own and they're all fairly cheap, sometimes even free!

and, i'm not sure how long you want to be smoking, but if you want to continue using a phunnel...i'd suggest you get a mini phunnel. the small phunnel states it holds 40-50g of shisha and a lot of people have told me that 2-3 hours worth. MNH offers a glass blown mini at $24, which would hold 15-20g for roughly a 1hr session. or you can make/buy the scalli mod and shorten your session and save shisha that way too.

hope all goes well for you! Edited by arcane

Thanks man. Yeah, i'm thinking about going with the glass one instead, just for it's size. Rarely do I want to sit and smoke a single flavor for hours on end, it'd be nice to mix it up without wasting a ton of shisha. From what I hear, tangiers burns forever anyways.
