sleepy420king Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I am looking to buy a 2 Hose Hookah..I already have one that I purchased from Venice Beach and its pretty good so far. I am looking to get another hookah but I am looking for best performance out of it. There are lots of companys on the net who sell Hookahs and I would like to know if anybody has any experience with any of them. I dont want to rush myself and end up with something not worth it. I have about a $150 dollar budget so I am looking to get a nice one.. I also am looking to get it with autoseal! Do only Syrian Hookahs come with autoseal?Anybody out there please give me your comments and suggestions! Sleepy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Sleepy: I'd suggest doing a few searches, or even packing yourself a head and just scrolling back through the pages. This question is a common one. The probel is that Everyoen is looking for soemthing different and there are soooo many choices out there. I'd check out a few of the listed sites, pick one or two from each one and then present a list askign for pros and cons. Otehrwise its like asking us to pick out your underware for you... I'd also do a search for "auto-seal" or even "auto" this has been discussed rather recently. (and not to be a pain in the arse so soon, but we do try to discourage drug refrences in Nicknames...try reading our constitution tacked to the top of the forum. This is mainly to keep ammunition out of the hands of those who think hookahs are only for drugs and use forums like this one to make their points...it's truely nothing personal.)

hookah~rob~ Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 check out hookah hookah.com they have a nice selection of hookahs, all types. right in your price range too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownZero Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 In the end, it's all really on personal taste. I like Egyptians more. As long as the site your ordering from is reliable (Like hookah-shisha central) and only sells the best, then you will be good. I don't know much about smoking-hookah.com though, perhaps someone else will. Check socialsmokehookah.com as well if you haven't already.. great service.

sleepy420king Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 I have but like i said before, I like the autoseal, but is it really trouble to have to plug the hose everytime? I think the egyption hookahs look alot better. Anybody know any pros and cons on the ENGINEER. I read before that the GLYPH tends to drip shisha...

yashman19 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Nearly every syrian style hookah that has more than one hose will come with autoseal. Egyptian styles are the ones you have to make sure have an autoseal option. I tend to stick with the egyptian style hookahs. Many syrian (not all) style hookahs have the female style stem, where the bowl will actually fit INTO the top of your hookah, instead of going over the top of the stem like on egyptians. This isn't a big deal, because you can buy adapters which will allow your syrian hookah to work with egyptian style bowls. But for me, I don't like having to worry about that kinda stuff. Some people argue that syrians are built better than egyptians. Big whoop. I suggest like many others have, just find your self a reputable site, and go from there. With a $150 doller budget, that should give you tons of great choices, even with shipping... With that kind of skrilla, I suggest taking a look over at Myasaray.com. They have a reputation that can't be beat, and first class products. And in the event something does go wrong, they have a great customer support team that will take care of you, not to mention a nifty hookah forum discount. P.S. I got my first hookah from Venice Beace as well from one of the local headshop vendors. I was down south visiting my friend from school. Venice has the greatest atmosphere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read before that the GLYPH tends to drip shisha...[/quote] I own a single hose glyph and love it.. yes, a little bit of the shisha juices will run down the outside of the stem every once in a while. Not a big deal, as I clean my hookah after every use, and it just gets rinsed off.. The glyph has a syrian stem with an egyptian head setup, so you'd be all set using egyptian style bowls with it.. On the other hand, I just got a MYA QT in the mail yesterday and absolutely love it's looks, how it smokes, and how absolutely rugged and heavy-duty it is.. I would agree with the previous post that with your budget, you may want to take a look at a MYA.. I know if I ever get a 3rd hookah, it'll be a bigger mya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityboyyy Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 if i had to narrow it down to three i would get .... 1) social smoke brand hookah 2) any MYA hookah 3) khalil mamoon hookah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Dorian Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 The biggest difference is between syrian and egyptian is that syrian hookahs are almost always female and egyptians tend to be males. This means that on egyptians the nasty melted honey/molassass/glycerine/dye tends to run down on to the tray or outside of the hookah, which can be bad. But on the syrian, this runs down the middle of the stem, meaning you have to clean it more often. Also syrian bowls tend to have a higher hieght to surface area ratio than egyptian ones, which affects how you should distibute the coals. Other than this there is no major difference. For large groups I perfer egyptian bowls, or if you smoke a lot of nakhla, for my personal use I am partial to the Syrian. You would probably be fine with any of these hookahs. MYAs are also very nice and exceptionally well built and easy to clean, but I would actually advise you stear clear of the QT until MYA improves the either the bowl or gasket system for it, as this is a problem for many people. P.S. you may want to go with the Syrian for certain other reasons if your name is any indication Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinshisha4life Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I dont get why everyone is so hooked on auto seal. All it is, is a ball bearing inside the hose port. With a mya the port will unscrew and you could just add a ball bearing, or an airsoft bb. Personally I find multi hosed hookahs dont hit very well and become a hassle.

sleepy420king Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 Dont have to much problems with the 2 hose hookah I have. Not really a hassle either. But I can see why a single hose hookah hits better, but I am alwas smoking with my girl friend and other friends. So I want a bigger better 2 or 3 hose hookah. Probably a Mya!
