Alright, Another Buying My First Hookah Thread


Recommended Posts

So my wife and I are regular smokers and have decided to go ahead and buy our own hookah now. About time since I have smoked for a little over a year now and she smoked off and on for about 2 years (6 years ago) and started back up about a year ago with me. We both do smoke cigs though.

Well I honestly dont want to get a complete hunk of junk so I have been looking around and was leaning twardsa a KM. Now Since I have never owned one I would like to hear some opinions on what you experienced smokers would suggest for us. Only want a single home also.

We KM folks would suggest, well, a KM. If you're gonna be a serious smoker, KM is worth the money. If you plan to smoke light and use it sparingly, maybe go with something a bit cheaper and small to keep some change in your pocket.

Or, yeah, just get a KM:)

I'd get a KM or Temsah from hookahjohn.com

Is that the one you made?


Yes

I like it. Good job.

You said you'd like us to recommend which KM to get, to be honest basically all the KMs smoke the same. The price difference is due to size and looks. I presonally wouldnt get anything smaller than a 30" but that's just me.

in my opinion and many others km's are the best in the business..99% of km's all smoke the same..so when choosing one your basically choosing which one looks better to you..

for hoses stick with washable hoses..regardless of what they say the mya washables are not washables it will rust on you..and depending on which km you get the hose could be or could not be washable..if you dont know if it is or isnt just post a pic of it and we will do our best to help you..these 3 washable hoses are the best to use

http://www.hookahjohn.com/category.sc?categoryId=11 <--go with the narbish v3 model

for coals stick with naturals..they have very little to no chemical taste in them and most of the time burn longer..but if you must use quick lights use john's ch coals they are the best ql in my opinion for naturals you can also buy johns natural coals or go with coconara's they are the best in the business

http://www.hookahjohn.com/product.sc?produ...mp;categoryId=6 <--instant lights
http://www.hookahjohn.com/product.sc?produ...mp;categoryId=6 <--naturals
http://www.hookahjohn.com/product.sc?produ...mp;categoryId=6 <--naturals best in the business

for bowls this isnt a must have..well yes it is..lol pick up a phunnel bowl make sure you go with small you can get 2+ hours out of it easily..and make sure its a TANGIERS only..there are alot of knockoffs out there

for shisha not sure what you have tryed yet, but the forum favorites here are nakhla,al fakher, starbuzz, tangiers, tangiers lucid,

not sure if i gave you more info then you needed, but either way hope it helps..also while im posting and your new when you get a minute go over our forum rules to help you out around here..there are a few things we cant do and say and one of which is using the full name to john's coals which i have given you the link too..so when referring to them just call them CH coals..and we will know what you mean..so goodluck bro..and if you have any questions hit us up..we are all here to learn and teach and enjoy this hobby..

All of the advice you've been given so far is excellent, and I have nothing to add, lol. But I have one question: What the hell do I call you since your name is _____? Blank? Lol...

Welcome to the community, and happy smoking!

Sorry to sort of jump on the end of someone else's topic but I think its sorta relative. To put a super super long story short tonight my hookah vase, a nammor hose, and a bowl ended up broken. Yes I am sad. But i thought this would be a good time to buy all new gear! Ive noticed that all the experts here recommend single hose hookahs...I would like to get one thats not too expensive (75-100 USD) and not extremely tall (mid 20 inches) but with two hoses. Im the only one of my friends that has owned a hookah and I like to bring it around and share all the love. Anything worth buying? Thanks!
