Need Some Help


Recommended Posts

I am a avid cigar and pipe smoker

I have heard that smoking a hookah is a cool experience. I have no hookah bars close to try it. i'd like to just buy a hookah inexpensive. Any advice on a cheap but decent hookah. I saw some on ebay for around twenty. I figured they were crap, but just wondering.

Really any small Mya will do great and they all smoke the same. Aesthetically, I like the Mono or Vento the best. The QT is nice but its a little too common, I think. I also love my petite its so small and smokes like a champ.

thanks guys, what is a good price to be paying for a decent pipe. I know briar tobacco pipes smoke like poopoo if they are the cheap ones. I looked at the Mya, and I think that is the way I will go.

This, these vendors.

I too suggest a small Mya, especially if you're looking to try it out and not sure if you'll stick with it. Also, buying a brand name that is known to be good will be easy to resell and you'll get most of your money back if you do decide it's not for you. I suggest buying a small Mya (QT, Mono, Vento, Bambino, Petite) from Hookah-Shisha.com. They throw in two 50g packets of their own free shisha (which is pretty good stuff), two rolls of coals (although I suggest you pick up some natural coals as well, Coconara or Cocomazaya, as they will greatly improve your experience), and some other things such as foil. Basically, they get you a good starter kit. Don't worry about all the extras for right now such as other bowls and hoses. You need to determine if you're going to like it first before you start blowing too much money, haha. I commend you for wanting to try it out first all on your own without first going to a lounge. Don't be turned away from it if its not good at first. It just means you need practice at packing the bowl and/or heat management (how many coals, how they're positioned on the bowl). Once you have your hookah, check out this thread:

These guys are very helpful. I don't smoke and haven't smoked Hookah yet, but I'm getting my own setup and they've helped me choose a nice setup with everything. Read the reviews section to get opinions on the different pipes, tobacco/shisha, and coals.

Oh, speaking of "regular" pipes, I may ask your opinions on some since my BF is thinking about getting off cigs and going for a "pipe pipe" LOL Course he's going to be smoking my hookah with me, but I think he'd still smoke more than me. Edited by atalanta

Thank You guys so much for all your help. I think I will love smoking hookah, well I have yet to find anything I don't like to smoke other then [b](NHT Reference)[/b]. But I still don't want to stick too much money in it. I think i am going to order tonight. I will let you know what I start out with

Pasha, if you were talking to me about smoking a regular pipe for tobacco, and not hookah. I tell everyone to start with a corn cob. A good briar runs over 60. Cheap ones suck and smoke really hot. So find some tobacco, and a corn cobb. You can get started for under 20
