Skimo Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Well after hearing alot about smoking hookah i decided i had to try it out. Me and my friend went to a decent hookah bar/cafe and after that I was hooked lol. Being new I really didnt know what the hell I was doing but now im buying a brand new 18" Sultan Junior Hookah for 35 bucks (unless yall have advice on a better hookah thats not to expensive). My question is what all should I get just starting out, i was looking at some packages but I didnt know if the coals or the brand of shisha was any good, so any advice would be extremley helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGuy Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Coals and shisha all depend on personal preference. Coals depend on how you going to be smoking and where. if you've got a lot of time, and smoking indoors, then you could get natural coals, because they have to be put on the stove thingy on a cooker for about 5 minutes to get going. Or if you're smoking out and about or want convenience, then quicklights, just need a lighter to get going, but theres the debate about whats in them and stuff like that. Shisha, again, is personal preference. what do you want from your shisha? thikness? flavour? longevity? Theres a shisha review site somewhere. look through the threads for a link or any post by Cat-Pee (catalystpaintball) because theres a link to it in his signature.

Skimo Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 yeah i saw that and looked at it all already lol, but yeah pretty much thickness and flavor, the bowl I had lasted about an hour but the smoke wasnt thick at all. what do you think about the Sultan Junior though, i hear its not bad it can just tip over kind of easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HookahDuck Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 That is a pretty good deal on Elite. You will love the MYA QT, IMO it is the best "bang for your buck" hookah- perfect for a first. Its easy to clean, portable, well built, cheap, and most importantly: smokes like a champ.Let us know how you like it. I've purchased from Elitehookah twice(waiting on a second order), and recieved great service both times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahDuck Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Ah, forgot to mention: MYA will replace anything wrong on their hookahs with a lifetime warranty, for free. They drop by the boards every once in a while to check on us. MYA is par-none as far as customer service and quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skimo Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 well looks like ill be buying from elitehookah alot haha, o and when i get it can i use regular foil or do i have to buy that foil from the store? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauldavis Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 you can use regular foil, but i got the foil packs when i ordered just for the convienience (and aparently they are a little thinner for better heat distribution but i have never noticed the difference) you can also get a bowl screen if youwantand if you use foil make sure to put the the shinier side down to keep more heat in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Thinner for better heat distribution? Pfftttht! Thinner to be a cheapo. If you want the same convenience, and a better value, you can get foodservice foil that "pops up" like a box of tissues. They are folded in half and about 4"x4". You can tear them easily into halves or quarters, I believe they run about six bucks for the 500 sheet box. I use heavy duty Kirkland foil. I've used Alcoa and other brands of standard aluminum foil and I've never noticed a difference. I have noticed, however, that the thinner it is, the easier it tears or rips. Thats why I go with the thicker stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
