elg2001 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Hi what's up all, I just discovered this forum, and I really really like it. I've spent quite alot of time today just looking around and reading posts, and I realized that I know alot less about all the products available than I should. My current hookah is some random thing I got off ebay because it was cheap. It's fairly nice, but nothing to write home about. I want to replace it. What are the top five hookahs available on the market these days? I'm looking for a really smooth but hard hitting hookah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofdavid Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Stargates are nice. I have one. I had problems with the vase. I asked to pay for a new one, they sent me one at no charge.Mya QTs because they are champions. Get one with a two hose adapter.I am told that Nours are the bomb, but don't have one to tell you from personal experience.And a nice Syrian one. And, uhm, a nice Egyptian one.

aronparsons Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Taqseem Stargate, Mya QT, anything else from Mya. The standard Egyptians you can get at a place like Social Smoke or Hookah Company are great pipes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skimo Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Well the Qt's are dope but theres just somthing about having a bigger hookah thats nice ya know, so id suggest a larger hookah and a Qt, the only larger hookahs ive smoked from are egyptians as mentioned above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 looks like some good advice so far, got a price range?hose # preference?that sorta thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansLight Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 qt is the best out right now in my mind, smokes like a champ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineSolitude Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 i think the qt smokes really well, but so do larger myas and they look amazing. i would suggest buying a decent sized mya saray, or maybe a nour if you can get a hold of it. you might have to go through tangiers since karabetian doesnt sell to individuals and noone i know of sells them online.

elg2001 Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 this is great advice! :)The theme I've noticed is that alot of people really really like the Mya QT. I don't have a price range restriction, but the cheaper the better.What's the best place from which to buy a Mya QT? Is [url="http://www.myasaray.com/"]www.myasaray.com[/url] their official website? I can't find the QT on there. Are there better places to get a QT, or is it best right from the source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineSolitude Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 buy from mya direct over the phone. you can order color stem type s-class, c-class, e-class (i have an e-class and also like the c class)but the qt is a very small hookah (14 inches). you might want to order a larger one from mya. assuming money isnt too tight. i would get something like this [url="http://www.myasaray.com/store/item.asp?ITEM_ID=915&DEPARTMENT_ID=42"]http://www.myasaray.com/store/item.asp?ITE...EPARTMENT_ID=42[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Abides Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I reccommend getting a large Syrian. Traditional look, and built like a tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineSolitude Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 yeah but where from dude? because not all are built like tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilqueToast Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I now have three Myas. They are all tanks. My QT survived a four foot fall, party foul I know. If money is a huge deal, go for the QT. It hits as well as any of the larger hookahs I've tried. If money is not a problem at all, go for a mid-range crystal Mya (that's if you've got $200 to blow). There's something glorious about the medium and large hookahs, so if you're willing to spend about $130, you can get a great glass Mya. The official website is www.myasaray.com. They have excellent customer service and give a 15% hookah forum discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansLight Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 i would get the qt from hookah-shisha.com its called the crown on there site, its where i got mine. Also use the code hookahfourm for a discount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elg2001 Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 i love small hookahs, so i'm gonna go with the QT.can anyone recommend the best hose to go along with it? it doesnt necessarily have to be a Mya hose. i just want the best one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elg2001 Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 Has anyone ordered from genuinehookahs.com before? they have the QT also. Is it a genuine QT? If so, why are they so much cheaper than direct from mya saray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtemes Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I know Dude Abides has ordered from genuine hookahs. He seems satisfied. I ordered a 35" from them. just waitin for it to arrive. I'm pretty positive its genuine Mya. PM him on the forums. He responds fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansLight Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 GH is a retailer, who gets the hookahs for wholesale, and can sell them for whatever price they want but i would get mine from hookah-shisa, cause well, thats where i got mine plus u get a discount there. just type in hookahforum for the discount code Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Genuine Hookahs is a sore subject around here. Suffice it to say some people like the guy, some people don't. I am completely neutral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joetuo Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I ordered a couple Mya wide hoses from him with no problems at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Abides Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 [quote name='sanguinesolitud']yeah but where from dude? because not all are built like tanks.[/quote] I think most online hookah sites sell a Syrian or two. I know SS and HC do. A good trick is to look at the base of the shaft that contacts the top of the glass vase. If it has flat downward sides it usually signifies that the entire pipe is solid metal (prolly brass), as opposed to that part on Egyptian pipes which usually look like rounded pyramids--and can signify that the entire pipe is lightweight stainless steel. Then you can look at the female hose connector on the pipe. They usually just come straight out on Syrian pipes. Or if you're at a shop you could simply pick it up. If it's heavy and feels like you could murder someone with it, it's probably Syrian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
