Showtime07 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I would say I'm SEMI new to the hookah world. I know how to properly pack a bowl, heat management, etc etc etc and I have my own respectable SINGLE hose hookah.For the last few months I have noticed that I always bring out my nice hookah during parties. Almost every weekend I have about 7-9 guests smoking hookah with me toward the end of my parties, which lead me to conclude that I need a new hookah that can handle those party numbers. I have been ALL over the review section of this forum, done my own research on hookah pipes......BUT, I am extremely indecisive!!!!Price willing to spend: No more than 200.Looking for: A multiple hose hookah.Quality: Something that will smoke great, impress people and can handle repeated use by dumb drunk girls (durable).So, I wanted to ask the community, if YOU were in my situation, what would YOU buy? THANKS!!! (Pictures/links in your responses would be ideal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikhman Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 any of the acrylic myas will serve you well. Mini mya is cheaper but not as neat looking as some of the larger ones. Check out hookah-shisha.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showtime07 Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 Thanks, but a little more detailed reply would be better. Such as the exact hookah you would get, and why. Pros/Cons.Rotator/Normal3 Hose/4 hose.etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikhman Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Those hookahs have an acrylic base as opposed to glass, which basically makes the base indestructible. The stem is cast brass, also very very durable. Extra hose adopters are $4.http://www.hookah-shisha.com/store/pc/conf...;idproduct=2772http://www.hookah-shisha.com/store/pc/conf...;idproduct=1643http://www.hookah-shisha.com/store/pc/conf...;idproduct=1548 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsytheowl Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I think the general consensus is going to be to get a mya.This one is pretty sexy: http://www.hookah-shisha.com/store/pc/conf...;idproduct=1743 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Artoo and Odyssey are good pipes. Avrylic bases are a plus.I would also look at the Paragon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Morgan Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 As already stated a multi hose Mya acylic would be a good bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWlax00 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 i would stay away from rotators. they have all sorts of problems. Instead, what i would do is get a lazy susan. its a small spinning table- they're like 5 bucks at any craft store. but all the hookahs mentioned are solid. I have a mya QT with 2 hoses, and that works great for me with four people. (each person doesn't need their own hose) but if your looking for around 10 guests, then ya, prolly 4 hoses would be better. btw, do you play lacrosse?

MWlax00 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 also, your prolly gona want a bigger/better bowl to handle that many people. like a tangiers large phunnel. or a double headed bowl. something of that sort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinite Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Found a few others, don't have personal experience with them though:http://www.hookah-shisha.com/store/pc/conf...p;idproduct=155http://www.hookah-shisha.com/store/pc/conf...p;idproduct=147 (with the Acrylic base)http://www.hookah-shisha.com/store/pc/conf...;idproduct=2805Not an Acrylic, but it's relatively cheap and smokes well from what I've heard (I have one that's similar)http://www.hookah-shisha.com/store/pc/conf...mp;idproduct=95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showtime07 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 Thanks all. Yeah myas seem to be the way to go because you can add or subtract the amount of hoses.I was looking into buying 3+ Romman hoses.I was looking at the gyro, close to my price limit and it looks WAY too nice, as in it could break if a drunk hoe knocks it over.QUOTE (MWlax00 @ Mar 22 2009, 02:03 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>i would stay away from rotators. they have all sorts of problems.

Sylren Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I bought a MYA Tempest from Southsmoke for $130.00 and they had a promo code where they send everything you need to convert to a four hose for $10 more. It's awesome, the best deal I could find on a four hoser and I love it too. Hopefully that deal is still on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know of any Syrians with an Acrylic base.not necessarily. if you get a good quality pipe like a mya, km, mz, or syrian, they come with tough bases.I imagine i could knock some people out cold with my base and it be perfectly fine.unless you smoke in a garage or tiled floor, then not so much. but i liek ot think that everyone can smoke right next to their computer in a heated/cooled and carpeted room.also, even if you do break a base, they aren't expensive, and not like you would be paying for it...

redjako Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Mya for multi hose, KM or Syrian for Single hose.Don't get an egyptian multi hose (without autoseal or some sort of ball bearings in the stem) or it sucks with multiple hoses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antouwan Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 myas are good pipes and i know a lot of people here like them. but me (from personal experience) have had issues from ghosting and after we smoked pumkin spice out of my mya it took like a week of semi-regular usage to taste like anything but pumkin spice. i would recommend a hobohookah. they're crazy portable (so if you go to parties as much as it sounds like you host them, this is a major plus) not to mention infinite amount of bases. the pipes themselves are practically indestructable apparently, and you can just toss it in the dishwasher. just a choice so you have more than a mya to ponder. unfortunately it's only a single hose, but fegem' you're throwing down for this shit so just put on some Oum Kalthoum, pull out the backgammon board and tell everyone to relax...

Like everything hookah related, there is no real truth of the matter when it comes to what is best. Myself, I've smoked out of both mya, egyptian, and even syrian multi-hosers... my favorite smokers have been egyptians with no auto-seal in them. Like someone else said, socialsmoke has a good selection of multi-hosed MZ's at some pretty nice prices too. I've got one of the smaller MZ's with a 3-hose stem and it draws easier than my QT.

h0lic Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 i'd go with a smaller multi-hose mya if you want to stay under that budget. it'll give you plenty of room to upgrade the bowl and all the hoses, while having a good rig that will be less likely to tip over at parties. my next suggestion would be to go with a multi-hose KM, but they are pricier and you'll cry when somebody pulls on the hose too much and tips it over. been there done that.

larken Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Actually what I'm planning on doing is just getting a decent sized mya or somesuch and fitting it into a table. That way, you can make it look sexy and professional, while maintaining optimum durability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
