Small Desktop Pipe


Recommended Posts

I've been thinking about getting a pipe I can sit on my desktop while at the computer. I think the Mya QTs are the most mentioned small pipes, but are there any others worth mentioning? I'd like to get one of those small brass pipes on ebay, but so far I have only found the cheapo chinese plastic ones. No real brass ones with glass bases. Anyway, any recommended pipes? I deffinately want to stay far away from aluminum stems. Even if it's Mya.

long time lurker first time poster. I just started the whole hookah thing about a month ago.The one that was recommended to me by the shop owner was the QT. he runs a middle eastern shop/deli and has hookahs and musell. I love it.you can even set it up and smoke with it in the cage carrier.great for camping as the cage protects everything but the bowl.

I'd say the QT is your best bet as far as quality of build and its smokeability. I personally love mine and I've had it for over 3yrs.

I smoke 90% of all my smoking at my computer desk. I do put the big ones on the floor, but the small ones I use that I use on top of my desk are the QT, Nou Nou, Bambino, Mini Mya, even my Gelato Grande.

What I need to do for my big pipes is find a small, very short table that sits a couple inches off the floor 'cause the big ones tend to be tipsy. I know my KM Exotica is a very tipsy pipe. It's that rounded-edged base that's the problem. Especially on carpet. If it were sitting on a Mya Paragon base (aka the "Pyramid" base) then it wouldn't wobble so much. But the KM's downstem would not fit that base.

Yeah I have a small Mya pipe, not a desktop one, but the phunnel fits fine on it. I'm sure they all use the same bowl adapter.

I put my big ones on an old High School Yearbook. Fixes that problem 100%.

Maybe one of those big heavy cutting boards will work.. a nice bamboo one. It'll make the hookah look better too. smile.gif
