marnisaur Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 So I'm buying my first hookah and I want to spend around $50 and I'm ok with getting a discounted hookah and socialsmoke seems like the best choice. Is one better than the other-medium better than small? Help me out! Thanks! <http://www.socialsmokehookah.com/item--Medium-Single-Hos e-Hookah-Chrome-Stem-Discounted--HSY004D> <http://www.socialsmokehookah.com/item--Small-Single-Hose -Hookah-w-Hose-Adapter-Gold-Discounted--HSY022GD> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Abides Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I'd get one of the syrian hookahs from SS. I prefer larger pipes, so I would go with the medium. But that's just my personal taste. Both would smoke great, even if discounted for aesthetic reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Abides Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Oh yeah, why would I go with the syrian over the egyptian? They tend to be constructed of heavyweight brass and built like tanks where as egyptians can be light and flimsy. Sure, this doesn't impact the way they smoke, but it may have something to do with how long it lasts and how well it survives accidents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukasa Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 [quote name='The Dude Abides']What mya could he get for under $50 besides a little dinky QT?[/quote] QT's smoke as well as any larger hookah according to virtually everyone who has ever tried a QT.

I've smoked from a QT many times and I can tell you that it does smoke very well (even though I often feel like I'm sucking through a tiny straw). I just like the look of standard full sized traditional hookahs more than portable travel pipes. I was just trying to rustle a few feathers, not insult QT fans. I'm not at all big on Stargates either, so trust me, I'm being consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownZero Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Are you going to be smoking by yourself or w/ a group of people. SMall hookahs are tough to be able to pass w/ groups.. they aren't stable and the hoses tend to be shorter (of course you could purchase a bigger hose).. I say that all the suggestions are good.. Mya is great.. but expensive, with the price your looking for, the QT would be the only one in the price range. social Smoke is a great distributor and they make high quality hookahs, I have one myself and happy w/ the purchase and their service. A friend of mine has a Social Smoke 19" and surpisingly smokes very well. But the size is way too small for my taste. I would personally go w/ the bigger hookah.. whether it be egyptian or syrian. Good luck w/ the hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marnisaur Posted June 7, 2006 Author Share Posted June 7, 2006 New issues have now appeared. I have a gift certificate to amazon.com and found that hookahcompany.com is selling two hookahs on it. Are either of these decent because I would defintely prefer to use my gift certificate. If not, thanks for all the comments above! much appreciated. And also I will be smoking in a group. <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000EISKLE /ref=pd_rvi_gw_1/103-1165766-4578211?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance> <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000EIPQ2A /ref=pd_rvi_gw_3/103-1165766-4578211?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
