Jvg89 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Went out with some friends and smokes for the first time and I loved it. Now id like to get my own. On a budget for my first one. Any opinions on this one? http://www.dirtcheaphookahs.com/black-almas-large-27-inch-hookah-p-660.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoozle Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) for your budget on this website, this would be a better option. [url="http://www.dirtcheaphookahs.com/egyptian-temsah-hookah-black-alpha-p-883.html"]http://www.dirtcheap...lpha-p-883.html[/url] Stainless Steel down stem instead of "iron with a chrome finish". EDIT: You will want to get a better hose too. That one will work for a while but will eventually rust. Edited February 7, 2012 by Skoozle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoozle Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Ask if they will substitute a washable hose and an egyptian bowl instead of the mod bowl and hose that comes with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jvg89 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Thanks for the reply. What about this one? I wanted to go for the tallest I could get.... http://www.dirtcheaphookahs.com/mya-black-diablo-24-inch-hookah-p-571.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoozle Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 That should be fine too. Mya is a good brand. I would maintain the suggestion about the hose and bowl though. The Mya hose might be slightly higher quality than the first two but it will eventually rust. The egyptian bowl will perform better than the mod bowl.

Jvg89 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Thanks I appreciate it. I'm not very familiar with any shops around here in Miramar. I dont care for online shopping. I rather seen what I'm getting in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoozle Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) I agree 100% I buy almost everything in person. But you have to know what you are looking at to get a good deal on a quality product. if you are buying a chinese pipe, make sure it is a Mya, otherwise, the materials may be sub-par and it will fall apart pretty quickly. Avoid Mya Econo pipes as well as those are made from cheaper materials. For egyptian, syrian, turkish and lebaneese pipes, just look at the quality of the craftmanship and make a decision about the quality of the pipe. That takes some experience. Your location is listed as MIramar, which Miramar is that? Edited February 7, 2012 by Skoozle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jvg89 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Yeah I see there is a lot more than just going out and buyin a set of pipes. This can get complicated lol. I'll go in today and sew what they recommend and see if they can work with me. If not I'll go with the mya which was my original choice till i saw the taller ones. I heard that the size does make a difference with the whole cooling of that air and it's not as harsh. Is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jvg89 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Miramar florida. I cab drive around though. Pembroke pines. Hollywood. Assuming you even know what I'm talking about lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoozle Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Height of the hookah doesn't make a significant difference. If the smoke is harsh, it was harsh when it left the bowl. That is going to depend on your packing and heat management. This is why I suggested an egyptian bowl, it is the best bang for your buck. You could look into more expensive bowls later. Is Dirt cheap hookahs in FL? Can you go there in person? Nazar hookahs is in Citrus Springs FL I think. Not sure how close that is to you or if he even has a store.

Skoozle Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Lucky you. Its nice to be able to see the pipes in person and DCH should have a pretty good selection compared to most local shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavo21 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 i agree with skoozle seeing them in person is 100% better then ordering online but unfortunitly its not always an option, but yah mahir would be a good choice nazarhookah.com is a great website and u are close, but mya is a GREAT brand despite what most people will tell you, but ur budget is pretty good for a first hookah, good luck hunting man, if you have any questions about anything hookah related or life i guess, this place will give you answers, and welcoem to the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
