Also, if you need a stronger buzz, switch to Desi Murli or Salloum. And WHY DO YOU NEED TO SMOKE IN A CAR? Switch to cigs.

On a more serious note, the goza has amazing flow. Good for parties since it can be hand held and you're not going to see hardly anyone with one in the states. I hope to see more options out there in the market so pump up the demand folks if you want more options. Also you can smoke out of bamboo and pretend to be a panda :P

I had a much simpler brass one from Hookah Company. Only cost $40 bucks. Wish i could find it.

The length the smoke travels adding to the stronger buzz is BS. The bore of the bamboo mouthpiece may be wider than your hose, thus giving you a bigger hit, but its smaller than MY usual hose so it would actually give a more restricted hit. Look at it, its a small hookah with no tray (though i added one to mine) and no flat base. Any claims about it that it acts in any way different from a similar hookah of its size and hose diameter doesn't make sense.
That being said, I did like min, but it got heavy being brass and wood and filled with water. Once you make a base for it, its just another hookah.
Not hate, just reason.

Katie, my question is, where did you get that tray you added in one photo?

these are dumb in my opinion. if you absolutely need to smoke hookah that badly that you have one for walking around or for driving, you are an addict. i love hookah, don't get me wrong, but i pity those people that are addicted to anything

I'd be constantly waiting for the coal to jump the foil collar.....I don't want anything that jury-rigged. Just not my style. Hookah in my opinion is for a production ritual of relaxation. Even if I set up during a party, it's always in another room or area where people have to actually sit and relax to smoke - even if for only a minute or two before rejoining the party madness.

The buzz? probably from the bigger hose diameter, or it's in how you set it up, who knows, but there is no logical or scientific reason why this should hit you any harder than putting a piece of bamboo into the hose port of your small standard hookah.

You could use a latch bowl/screen combo to keep the coals in place.

I just don't get it. I mean, can you make this work and be safe? Yes. But why? It just seems to be so completely useless to me. You are throwing heat management out the window, knocking your ash all over inside which is surely going straight into your bowl and down the stem. I think getting a bigger buzz is pointless, and if that's what you are chasing, you're touching on NHT territory. I know a lot of you will disagree with me here, but that's a simple fact. It's like Iain said, you guys are starting to sound like addicts. If i'm going somewhere and want to smoke, I'll take a mya with me. If I can't use a mya where I am going, I probably shouldn't be smoking anyways. Hookahs don't belong in cars or on people walking around.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the ingenuity that goes into these, but it's absolutely unnecessary. Smoking hookah should be a relaxing social thing, and when you start taking those elements away from it and taking away the hose, how are you any different than some burnout NHT addict? I'm all for increasing the exposure of hookah in modern western culture, but this is not the way to go about doing it. I mean no offense to any of you who like these things, this is just my opinion on it.

I just think its something different, not something I personally would smoke in the car. And sorry Ty, I do disagree with your buzz logic. Sense I am not smoking as often anymore I am still able to get a buzz of off some Nakhla flavors. I factor that into choosing what I am going to smoke most of the time, as well as who I am smoking with. I am not going to have a group of new people smoke Zag or Earl Grey, but something from Fantasia or AF. I want to try DM not just for the different style flavors, but also for the bigger buzz. And on the other side of it, if I was feeling off that day, or my stomach was upset or something, I would want something washed so I don't have to worry about feeling shitty.

And taking away the hose..I dont get how that makes someone more like a NHT addict. There are different ways and styles to smoke hookah.

I could be wrong, but there is no way to tell what exactly these women are smoking. So you could use that logic and say they were using NHT.

And they are using hoses in this picture. But how can you be sure of what you are smoking?

I almost wish I had not posted this thread. The point of it was to discuss the style of hookah, and the things that were said in the original ebay post to talk about the validity and possible reasoning behind it. Now I feel like people are starting to point fingers and saying uncalled for things about people smoking hookah...on a hookah forum. I want to make it clear I am not targeting anyone's specific posts, but just in general.

But to each their own I suppose.. :) Edited by Floataround

I think we are getting a bit off track here. So lets discuss the Goza, and not people personal habits, hey?

I may decide to edit this thread back to its original track. So any further comments should be related to the Hookah in question.

The Goza reminds me a rotator that I have. The gauge of the stem was big and (and thats what makes the draw so effortless) the 'hole' where you put in your hose was just a protruding inlet (basically a hole). Smoking is superb. Really effortless, making you draw more smoke in a single shot.

the problem I have with my rotator is that with time (after 5 or 6 years), the threads of the stem start to wear off and you need to continuously add Teflon to make sure everything is tight. Also the welds connecting the piping and the stem are usually not the best and had to be replaced with some JB Weld.
