El's Itty Bitty Hookah Collection

[font="Verdana"][size="6"]El's Itty Bitty Hookah Collection[/size]

I don't have the biggest collection, but each one is part of my history in the hookah world. Each one has its own story, its own reason for being, and even its own unique way of smoking. I love them all!! I have a few left I want to get, and will update this when that happens.

[b][size="4"]Magdy Zidan - Blue Polaris III - 36" 3 Hose Hookah[/size][/b]
This was our first hookah; and boy did we start big. Before ordering it I thought I would only smoke when friends were over, so I went with the big, 3 hose monster you see here. But I loved smoking so much, I was setting it up all the time when I was by myself. While I loved this hookah, it was just too much, too big, and too top heavy for me to be smoking by myself. It's name was Big Momma.

[b][size="4"]Magdy Zidan - White w/Black Center Piece (type currently not known) - 38" 1 Hose Hookah[/size][/b]
While technically the third hookah I bought, I tend to count this as number two for some odd reason. This hookah has actually never been smoked out of. I bought it at a party with some members here at the forums for an absurdly low price (like $50 with two cans of SB tobacco). I already had the QT for myself, and Big Momma for parties, so this one became a decoration that sits in my living room.

[b][size="4"]Mya Saray - Sky Blue QT S Class - 14" 1 Hose Hookah[/size][/b]
The answer to the problem of Big Momma, this bad boy was my daily driver for a long long time. You could always find it parked behind where I sleep, hiding from my family, almost always lit. Like Big Momma, my sister named this one as well, Cutie. It has been sitting stored away for over 2 years, but its now back out into rotation, and I can't figure out why I ever stopped smoking it.

[b][size="4"]Mya Saray - Green Clear Acrylic - 23" 3 Hose Hookah[/size][/b]
When Minnesota Hookah first hit the forums, they had as basic and craptacular a site as you could imagine. You could only buy pipes, and you almost didn't want to based on how the site looked. But they became very popular around here for there amazing customer service, and good prices. I made them an offer to build them a new website for more hookah supplies. To be honest, I didn't have the experience at the time to do it, but after months of delays on both sides, the site launched, and they became quite big around here. But life got the better of them, and now the name MNHookahs is tarnished around here.

This hookah was part of my payment, one Tarik actually had to drive down to a hookah shop near him to buy, as they had none at the time. This is my most used hookah, by a mile. With its ease of use, how well it smokes, the awesome check valves, and the worry free acrylic base, it is my preferred outdoor or party hookah. It has its flaws and it is beaten and battered, but still a great hookah (if I could just get more hose ports for it...). Oh and this ones name is Nessie.

[b][size="4"]Mya Saray - Black Staff - 23" 1 Hose Hookah[/size][/b]
I left the hookah world for quite some time. I had just overdone it, and couldn't even force myself to smoke, or even visit the forums. But after a while, I was back, and wanted to start smoking again. I had no tobacco, no coals, and all my hookahs had just been collecting dust. So I made a nice big new order at Hookah-Shisha and got a Mya of my dreams.

This has been my personal hookah since I got it. Other then others sampling a flavor im currently smoking out of it, no one else smokes this bad boy but me. I love it, the case it comes in, and how well it smokes. And if you couldn't tell by the last three, I have a hardcore obsession with Mya Saray hookahs

[size="5"]Other Stuff[/size]
Here are some various photos taken through the years as I got my various hookahs, as well as of my bowls, and other accessories.

[size="4"][b]First Collection Photo, For The Love Of God I Miss All That Tobacco!![/b][/size]
This was back in the day. Almost every thing of tobacco you see is Al Waha. Oddly enough, I paid for just about none of it Well the tobacco that is.

[b][size="4"]Day The Mya Staff Came In[/size][/b]
I couldn't wait to finally get smoking again. 10 minutes after I took this picture, I had this bad boy set up and smoking.

[/quote]

lol that was back when the phunnels were extremely new, and Eric hadn't even posted how he uses it yet. Everyone was experimenting with it, trying to get it to work right. It was also our first time with Tangiers tobacco as well. It was getting too much heat, so in a stroke of either pure genius or stupidity, we turned a metal screen we had upside down and popped it on there between the foil and coal.

It actually worked and it smoked like a champ the rest of the night. Needless to say it did not catch on as a preferred method of using the phunnel bowl

the 38" Magdy is rather hot !

if u attach the black/yellow phunnel to it and take a pic , i might have to bring toilet paper over here [img]http://www.hookahforum.com/public/style_emoticons/default/fnar.gif[/img]
