Zyram Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 So, I am considering a QT or a Bambino for a hookah I can travel easily with and is stable sitting on a table. I have two nice egyptians, but I want something a little smaller for use when I go places (carrying larger hookahs can be a pain) and I also want a nice stable hookah that I can set down and not worry too much about tipping it over (I smoke next to my computer sometimes when I am gaming, but I have indeed caught my hose on my chair and pulled a hookah over one time, holes in the carpet, water in the bowl, water on the floor... not pretty. If I could set one of these two hookahs on my desk next to the monitor it may be more stable. In any case, I've read reviews and I know they are both pretty decent hookahs, but what are some things that could tip the scales here? Thanks for any input guys/gals.-Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt-641 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 The QT's base is very wide and stable for a 13" hookah and it fits perfectly in it's carrying cage (which you could have the hookah in and smoke out of it at the same time). As far as the hose getting caught on the chair, that can happen with any hookah or hose. The only exception would be a handheld one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowspeedchase Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 If you are really worried about tipping over, grab one of the bowls with a built-in locking cover... and also one of those base suction cups that locks the base onto the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryno Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 If you want stability, I'd recommend the QT over the Bambino from personal experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsytheowl Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 If you're worried about aesthetics, get a bambino. You get a hard case as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bambino is ugly as fu*k, especially the stem Bought a QT a few weeks ago, it owns, smokes like my KM, its impossible to tip over, ashtray is too small but i just took another bigger one from my mya orbiter.Easy to clean etc... if you want a small portable hookah that smokes great this is what your looking for!

Stuie Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I haven't smoked out of a small Mya I didn't like. Pick a small mya you like the look of and you are good to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Ninja Robot Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I agree with Stuie, there are so many options for small Myas.With what you've said, looks don't matter, if stability is your biggest concern, the QT would be better for you, especially if you use a heavy hose. They both smoke more or less the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both smoke more or less the same.I do use a Nammor hose so slightly heavier, and since I would like to set it on my desk (I always worry cause my dogs like to sit on the floor next to my feet when I am at the computer) so I think I'll go with the QT. Thanks for all of the input guys, I really appreciate it. I'll probly get both some day just because =) But for now I'll go with the QT.-Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
