Narrowed down to 3 hookahs...

[KFirth]

Well, the subject says it all.  I believe I have narrowed down my search to three hookahs, but I need some advice from this point on. (This will be the first hookah I own, so don't really know a ton about them) [url="http://www.hookah-shisha.com/item.jhtml?UCIDs=354899%7C12937"]http://www.hookah-shisha.com/item.jhtml?UC...=354899%7C12937[/url] 42&PRID=1491791Pros:This hookah comes with all the accessories and a travel case, which is nice because I plan on transporting it around quite a bit.Cons:Not sure of the quality of the piece?

Also, no carrying case which is something that I would really like.

Very light. But best of all, VERY VERY cheap.Cons:Small size may hurt the smoking experience? Not very visually stunning.So basically, I'm a newb looking to buy my first hookah and I am quite confused with this rather complex art.  Any suggestions along with reasons would be appreciated.  Thanks again for the help.Kyle

Dude, its not like you're choosing a new religion here.

As far as getting accessories. you're gonna have to buy tobacco and
coal from some place, so just pick up your cleaning brushes and screen
(if you want one) when you buy those.

The QT rules. It smokes as good as anything you can get...anywhere.

The only think you need to get all stressed about is if you would rather spend $98, $68, or $45.

i agree with mush and gibor..either way your startin off right....mya hands down probably has the best quality...but i might add that you should consider looking at some taqseem brand hookahs...the stargates come with a case and pretty much everything you need and samir over at taqseem hookahs is a good guy who will hook you up if you mention the forum...but either way all three hookahs you have picked are great quality pieces as well as the one from socialsmoke that mush put a link for..there are no wrong answers here (dont you wish it was like that all the time) so go with your gut and im sure you wont be disapointed.

Why not one of these? [url="http://hookahforum.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2822&KW"]http://hookahforum.com/forum/forum_posts.a...asp?TID=2822&KW[/url] =myasarayCan't beat those prices.  Come with case.  You're all set!I recently purchased a 32incher from Social Smoke and while I'm happy with it, it's a bit of a PITA to transport, let alone find a spot for it in my condo.  Don't forget to mention the 15% discount for forum members when you order.  I'm picking myself up the red/clear pyramid style with large chrome stem.

Its small but not a dwarf. It will be light weight and easy to carry. The ashtray is bigger and you will need to clean it less (If you will be like me smoking more than ten lüles per day!)In anycase, so long as you do not buy one of those 10$ nargiles which are superb low quality, its right for you. You can always buy some cleaning accessories. They are cheap and widely available and only pro of being American, you can find a carrying case easily!Choose as you wish...
