Nelly Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Hello all, I'm an occasionaly hookah smoker although I would have to say that I prefer cigars. Anyway, I would like to get my friend who loves hookahs a nice one for her birthday and maybe you all can help. I have my eye on this one: www.thehookah.com/products/details.asp?ID=136 But I'm not an expert so: 1) I don't know whether thehookah.com is a reputable site 2) Whether this hookah is technically sound, ie. a good product for a good smoke I know that there are certainly cheaper hookahs out there, but this one has such a unique shaft. Any opinions on the seller and the hookah itself would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alqoshnia Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 the dragon hookah LOOKS nice, but can a pain in the ass to clean out, but if you REALLY insist on these types of hookahs search hookah-shisha.com they have couple nice animal ones and taqseem.com has two lady models and an elephant.

yashman19 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Do you have stairs in your house? If so, I'm El Duderino If not, carry on From personal experience, my friend has the same hookah but in all black. It smokes ok, but like mentioned above, its a bitch to clean. Typical hookahs, cleaning is as simple as using a long narrow brush and swishing some water in there, but with these, you really need to buy bong/pipe cleaning solution from head shops to get all the gunk out, which can be a pain. He also wasn't careful enough when handling it, and ended up snapping the part where the stem screws into the base. This hookah is great looking, smokes great, but requires high maintenence and much care to ensure a long life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelly Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 Thanks for the feedback about the cleaning; I didn't know that you needed to brush out the insides. Searching through the forum, it seems that people really like Mya's. I'm thinking about maybe getting this one: [url="http://www.myasaray.com/store/item.asp?ITEM_ID=892&DEPARTMENT_ID="]Mya Hookah[/url] I'm just wondering whether one hose is enough and if 25" is tall enough.

HookahDuck Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 A huge mis-conception among hookah smokers is that the taller the pipe, the better it will smoke. That is entirely untrue. I have a 14" QT MYA that hits just as strong as my 25" Taqseem Stargate. Smoke density, flavor, ect is all in the quality of your tobacco, coals, and set-up.This is true for everything roughly over 12 inches- below that and the smoke doesnt have adequate time to cool. But that is about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahDuck Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 BTW: You will not find a higher quality hookah than a MYA. Period.I recommend a MYA QT as his/her first pipe. Very easy to clean, portable, userfriendly, durable, cheap, and smokes like a champ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilotaku Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I have a mya myself and have owned several hookahs in the past. I would say that mya put a lot of thought into the construction of the pieces and its durability. Its my favorite hookah to smoke out of by myself.Hookahduck: U of A pwns ASU! Its almost football season, and basketball season is just a bit away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Thats a Chinese Nour Pipe. Excellent metal, awful hoses and jars. The price isn't bad. Many people have discontinued carrying them because of their problems. Including me and the hookah company. I Syrian Nour products, but hate their Chinese stuff .

web250 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Why not something a little simpler (and more functional, stem wise) [url="http://www.socialsmokehookah.com/item--Medium-Single-Hose-Ho"]http://www.socialsmokehookah.com/item--Med...-Single-Hose-Ho[/url] okah--EG4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelly Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 Hi all, After speaking with the head guy at Mya Saray himself, I ordered [url="http://www.myasaray.com/store/item.asp?ITEM_ID=892&DEPARTMENT_ID=49"]THIS HOOKAH[/url] At the end of the day, the emerald green was just too appealing to say no to. Thanks for all your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrGuy Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I've decided i don't like my friends anymore:-( the only birthday present they get me is chocolate or the equivelent ammount of money (or a bottle of vodka, even then they drank that[img]http://www.hookahforum.com/forum/smileys/smiley6.gif[/img]) Nelly, if you ever need any more friends (which im sure you wont) then im only a phone call and a MYA away;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macho555 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Seriously, my friends barely remember my birthday, let alone buy me gorgeous hookahs for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
