Tips On New Hookah Anyone?


Recommended Posts

Been smoking for a few years, starting with some random bad hookahs that friends passed on to me. eventually settled down with a mya saray QT which smoked well and lasted me the last few years (still going strong). now i am moving into a new house with some friends and i was looking for a new large hookah to decorate/use with the new house.

was looking into the KM talj abyad as posted in the other thread: http://www.hookahcompany.com/talj_abyad_km...h_3970_prd1.htm

it looks good but i was wondering if anyone else had any recommendations. main criteria would be large, multi-hose, looks good and smokes well. thanks!

p.s. not really concerned about price, as long as its worth it and not too extravagant! Edited by l0aded

Anything KM is a great hookah.. The trimetal are beautiful in my oppinion, but thats only looks.

I would suggest a 3 hose over a 4 hose simply because of the fact that the 4 hose model doesnt have a purge valve.

I would opt out of the multi hose. I had a similar multi-hose KM and sold it... basically, the people holding the hoses that are not in-use have to cover the tips so that it's actually hittable. Essentially, the open hose tips act as leaks in your hookah if someone doesn't have their thumb over it. Not sure if that makes sense, but its a pain in the ass if you constantly have to tell someone to cover their hose tip. Ultimately you will end up just putting plugs in two of the hose ports anyways. Might as well save yourself some money and just buy a one-hose.

for a multi-hose hookah i would go with any of the larger myas. I have a 4 hose mya obelisk and it smokes fantastically. myas have auto seals in the hose ports so that you dont have to cover up all the hoses when someone smokes.

for a single hose i would go with any km model...they all should be good. then get a lazy susan and put that under the hookah, bam now you have a rotating hookah.

that auto seal stuff seems like it can get really annoying with alot of people smoking, especially if they are new to hookahing in general. i think we're mainly looking at the gyro or colossus from mya now since KM doesnt have the autoseal feature. or if there is a way to make it autoseal using DIY methods that would be great because that KM looks awesome! the white really makes it look pristine.

24/9/09 I get my work bonuses... I got a $440 order including a Mya Saray Obelisk (4 hose) black! .($100 just for shipping to Australia shyt)
I really cant wait till I get this hookah. I've done heaps of research, currently have a 26" from Hookahcompany. I think its the swirl. I'm dying to get my hands on the obelisk!

Don't deal with a multi hose if they don't have the auto seal purge valve. Waste of time and annoying to check if every other person has their hose closed off just so you can smoke.

ya i gotta agree with him here..i smoked out of a 2 hose hookah and it was a bytch always reminding and checking to seeif my brother had his hose plugged..if you go with anything multi a auto seal is a must..especially if you want 4 hoses..imagine always reminding and checking if 3 other people got theres sealed..especially when watching a movie or sports..people dont wana hear that every 5 seconds..lol

Whenever this discussion comes up I feel like I'm either in an episode of the twlight zone or just surrounded by the mentally handicapped when I come on the forum lol. I've never had a problem with someone forgetting to cover. I have a 3-hosed MZ and even with strangers once you inform someone they gotta cover, that's it, they remember to cover and it's not a problem past the moment you hand them the hose.

It's like you guys are the type that wear velcro-shoes because it's just too much bother remembering how to tie shoes in the morning I swear laugh.gif

to be honest i find that people usually learn to default close thumbs if you tell them to just always keep it down unless you are smoking. someone else also said that non-autoseal has better flow. judging by the replies in this thread i think OP and i are going to get a 3-hose of some kind, just not sure if we want mya autoseal or that gorgeous KM!

lol..im not handicapped..neither is my brother..people sometimes forget..its not a big deal where i gotta put someone threw a table know what i mean? but the auto seal is the same reason auto makers make cars in auto instead of only stick..some people want that convenience of life..so does that mean anyone who drives a car thats auto should be thrown in a padded room and a suit? sounds like thats what your saying

So I'm looking for a new hookah as well.
I did a search in regards to my similar question.
My apologies to the OP for hijacking this thread, but didnt think I should start a new thread just for the same matter.

I decided to step my Hookah game up and get me a KM here shortly.
I have a couple of questions though:

1) Is there a difference between 2 hose and 1 hose of a KM?
-Reason I ask, I notice majority of the members here, have 1 hose KM.
2) Are KM hoses washable? Like running water through the hose to clean them?
3) I'm looking into getting a Trimetal KM, still debating on the 2 or 1 hose of course.
but was wondering if this is a Trimetal series as well http://www.hookah-shisha.com/p-5251-geb-kh...oon-hookah.html
And if i was going to get a 2 hose, i was looking into this http://www.thehookah.com/khalil-mamoon-2-h...rimetal-34.html

any thought/opinions on my choices? or suggestions. Edited by vtec4me

1. I enjoy passing the hose, dont really see a need for two hoses. Two hoses means more places for leaks, and you have to plug the end of the hose not in use. (unlike myas
2. Not washable
3. Shop around more someone got one on ebay caravan trading for really cheap. Check out hookahjohn and gothookahs.
4. You cannot add another hose
