Abbynormal Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) A couple months ago i bought a cheapo hookah for 40$ for the sake of well....you know what no excuses poor judgement, and after a decent bit of smoking with it, i come back from a trip to smoke a bowl but it just isn't smoking like it did before and the air valve is fucked so im just not going to bother with it but back to the point, not realizing there is an actual quality smoke shop in town, ive decided to spend some real money on a quality hookah. So im here to ask the experts what quality brands of hookah are carried in shops, for some information im in California, emailed the shop and hoping to hear back before i go in but i figured i would come here for recomendations first. So lets start here Hookah Coals (Preferably quicklights smoking at home and parents dont know nor do they want me to smoke getting a portable coil burner for naturals would probably be a bit more a nuisance than its worth for the time being) Hoses Shisha Bonus motivation smoking shisha instead of ciggarettes, still carcinogenic, but no tar, no rat poison, etc. Edited August 15, 2012 by Abbynormal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 um, for the record, there is still tar, just not added tar. Any time you combust anything organic, you are gonna get tar. Just wanted to point that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will still have the occasional cigarette during some heavy drinking, but even then, half the time It's gross and unpleasant. If it takes you a couple of month to smoke $10 worth of cigarettes, you are not a heavy smoker at all. Make an effort to avoid them all together for a few months and you should lose your taste for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiltedandrew Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Well written article. I especially liked the pictures showing the differences between the different qualities and functions. I really regret not getting a hookah with a quality purge valve sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
