first hookah purchase


Recommended Posts

Yo, new here. I just wanted to know if there is anything to look out for, what's good, what's bad. The usual. I'm planning on buying this hookah today and would appreciate any suggestions. Also, shisha suggestions would be appreciated aswell, brands, flavors. Thanks.

Welcome aboard both the board and to the hookah loving community.    Your best bet is to sit back and start reading here on the forum.  Do a search for "review", or "tobacco review", "shisha review" etc.  That will give you more than you could ever want to read on people's opinions on brands and flavors.  Same goes for coals (different brands, natural vs. quick lite).
 
Are you buying your hookah online, or locally?

Hookahs are generally something where you get what you pay for. 
There are good deals out there and rip offs, but in general if your
hookah costs $25 and comes with $25 in free stuff, it's probably not a
wise investment.  On the other hand if you spend $90 or more from
a reputable vendor you're probably going to get a nice product,
something that smokes well and looks nice.

The same is true of tobaccos, although there are exceptions. 
Cheap tobaccos are probably cheap for a reason.  Supply vs. demand
dictates that nice tobaccos will probably be more expensive.

If a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

The search tool will overload you with helpful information on particular brands and vendors that will suit your needs the best.

Take your time, shop around for the best price and the best merchandise. Don't get sucked into the "posted price" trap where one company charges a dollar or two less but charges five dollars more for shipping and handling. Take into account which companies have people saying nice things about and which companies have reviews that are less than glowing.

[quote name='mushrat']who'd you get it from?
 [/quote]hookahkings.com, which is conveniently located here, i strolled on down there, nice shop. I got cherry, rose, double apple and starbuzz or something. Only tasted the rose and doupleapple and both very good, the hookah itself smokes great.
