About To Buy - You Choose My Next Setup....


Recommended Posts

Whats up guys. I've been smoking hookah for probably around a year now. I have a couple hookahs that i've bought, all no name brands. I always smoke with a buddy so it has to be a 2 hose system. I've always been able to get decent smoke...but never a TON. What do you guys recommend? Money really isn't to big of a deal, spend is prolly capped at like $250-ish. I know I want a Phunnel bowl and a set of nammor hoses but im open to suggestions. I'll probably pick up some coco's and starbuzz to, but feel free to throw out what you would get and maybe the sites you would recommend grabbing all of this from. Thx in advance.

Mya Obelisk + Phunnel + Nammors is what I got and everyone who's smoked with me has agreed that it's the best hookah they've ever smoked from. I just ran out of coco's and I'm stuck with chinese QL's from the local smoke shop until my new shipment arrives (ordered a lot more this time good2.gif )-- I'd definitely recommend stocking up on coco's and tangiers.

Spend $100 getting all the hoses/shisha and get a free mini-mya converted to a two hose at hookah-shisha.



+1 i got that one free and it smokes like a champ. maybe get a glass bottom for it cuz it tastes like plastic the first few times. then spend the rest of the money on tabbacy and coals

so far i've just been using the Japanese coals and they seem to be working ok but they burn out pretty quick probably last about 30-35 min the 2 hose setup i have now, Is that standard for those?


in my experience yeah, anywhere from about 30-45 minutes. Coco's, on the other hand, can last well over an hour

would you still get the nammor hoses and phunnel bowl with those?


So you know, if you get a phunnel off H-S, it'll be a large. That's where I got my first phunnel; it was a Havana. I think they have a limited supply of Tangiers branded phunnels. It still smokes fine, but I find little use for a large. So I eventually ordered a small from John.

kk, ill keep that in mind. I have two standard bowls that I use now. I pack one get it going, then when its about dead ill pack the next one and get the coals going. Both bowls/coals are good for about 2/45min sessions. Since its always two of us, maybe that large phunnel will work out well? Edited by jpetro1010

Thanks for the info Nights and everyone else.

I just put the order in for the Mya Vortex at Hookah-Shisha.com. Then cruised over to HookahJohn and ordered a Narbishe hose and wanted to compare so I ordered a Razan too. Then picked up tangiers phunnel (large and small) along with some tropical revenge and Coconara.

All of the things I picked up I've never tried before so it should be interesting. I've tried to use some Natural coal before and had an EPIC failure, lol. I swear I had it on the stove for a solid 15 min and could NOT get the coal red/ashy at ALL! Hopefully the coco will be better, lol.

if i were to order another setup...it'd be this:

Hookah: KM Hookah - whichever you think looks good, they'll smoke roughly the same
Hose: KM Tundra or Traditional Leather hose from HC
Bowl: Small Tangiers phunnel (you'll get a egyptian with the KM too)
Coals: CH or Canarys if you can afford them
