If You Would Be So Kind: Help Me Choose A Hookah

[Acquirosententia]

Hello,
I'm only sorta knew to hookah and am looking to buy a nice hookah not only for smoking purposes but also for its aesthetic qualities.
But I am torn on which one to purchase. I was hoping that I could ask the sage advice of those more experienced than I.

Any reason why any of you would choose one over the other? I would appreciate the input as I am having a bear of a time choosing myself.
Thank you!

Performance wise all of those are going to perform pretty much the same. So it comes down to aesthetics and convenience. With the taller hookahs it is easier to knock them down, and a shorter one is a lot more stable if smoking indoors (carpeted areas at least). So pick the one which is going to be more convenient for you.

Good luck

Agreed. The Basha is good Smoked out of it. It has changed a bit astetically from mine, but good smoke the other 2 smoke just as well. I would go with the last one.

Exactly what he said. I have a tri-metal similar to the Basha and those stems are probably the most solid out of the ones you linked.

I am going to have to agree. Even though I tend to prefer pears to trimetals, I would go with the trimetal this time.

ima say Hathor or the triple pear...however i would go without the ice chamber if u can

I'd go for the last one (Hathor).
The first one is just too tall, and I hate those bases.
Second one would be niceish, but it comes with a rubbish hose, and the base isn't too nice either.
Third one, comes with KM 'AS' pro hose, brilliant hoses, and comes with a lovely base. Overall quite nice.
Smoking qualities, all pretty much the same, all KM = all excellent.

Thank you all for your input.

Any reason for why you would go without the ice chamber? or is that just a personal preference?

[PSU Smoker]

personal preference...from what ive read they dont really seem to do much and it makes the hookah top heavy. I suppose you could just not fill it with ice too

[Acquirosententia]

Thank you all again. I decided to go with the Hathor.
Friendly group of people here.
