Zerodynamic Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Well guys, that time has come.I must purchase another hoohka. I currently use a Social Smoke Sirius II (2 hose, obviously) and am looking to upgrade.My question is.. should I get a 3 or a 4 hose? Stay with the 2? Go with a 1 hose?I plan on keeping the Sirius at home from now on.. this new one will be my party hoohka, which is why I am considering a 4 hose hoohka. I know what most of you will say; 3 or 4 hoses kills the draw. I'm not too worried about that, as the bowl setup I want to go with (preferably a 100g phunnel) should be able to work with 3 or 4 hoses.... right?With this setup, I think running a wind cover and an ice chamber should suffice to make everyone happy. I love my sirius, but I have had it for a year and a half.. and... well, I am attached. I love that thing. Its been through more abuse than I can recall. (back when I was a noob as smoking)TIA!Kris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvansLight Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I would say go with a 2 hose Mya Acyrlic. If you need three there is also a 3 hose mya acrylic makes a good party hookah cause your less worried about glass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerodynamic Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 (edited) I am liking the 3 hose acrylic... but there is something about a glass base that is so... authentic. I work at a hardware store, so getting the plugs is not a problem. (I bought 6 for my sirius that I am using now.) I think what I am looking for right now is a novelty. I dont want something practical simply because I already have that. Its like... I already have car to get me from point a to point b, now I am having a mid-life crisis and want my porsche... if that makes sense.

nevermind Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 i say go for a 3 hose mya bohemian perhaps?...heres the thing, everytime my friends and i smoke with his mulitiple hose syrian hookah, everyone else has to hold the other end which isnt trouble at all but very annoying when you're trying to have a serious conversation and you dont want to interupt the other person by letting them know you want to smoke now so put your freakin thumb over your end....moral: i bought a 3 hose bohemian for my cousin, and with its auto-seal system its so convinient, you just smoke whenever you want and we've all tried smoking all at once which also works but you get medium smoke versus the full potential, and this is whith a medium tangiers regular bowl....i love it and everytime i smoke with my friends' syrian it seems outdated.

ghostofdavid Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I think I stand alone in this recommendation, but I would get a four hose hookah because you can always plug up what you are not going to use in the event that you are smoking alone. I have a three hose that is tons of fun to take to parties and what not. The only thing you might lose out on is the community aspect because having less hoses forces people to pass and what not.

Zerodynamic Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 Thanks for the replies guys!To give you an idea of what I mean by my porsche... well, I think I should change that. I want a Hummer. How about this?My Hummer HookahI am perfectly willing to spend the cash on it, but looks like a monster! Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerodynamic Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 To be honest... hell if I know.I'll go conventional if I must... What I am looking for is, I huge bowl that I can pack with a lot of shisha so I can keep all 6 smokers satisfied for at least an hour. Party bowl FTMFW! Like, I am talking huge here guys. My 2 hose can cater to a semi-patient group... but I want one where all can smoke... Give me some options with bowls? I would prefer 100g, but if you could find something larger or more effective, well damn I'd owe ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASUSEAN1 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 hmm i dont think you actually know how much 100 G really is...but if I were you i would get the large funnel.. it def. doesnt pack 100 Gs but you can pack a bowl that will last atleast 2 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineSolitude Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 multi hose rotators are stupid. if you have 6 hoses. what good would rotating it do? you would only ever rotate it like 3 inches in either direction. and a hose will stretch that far.could i never plan on buying a multi hose hookah. i like the look and draw of 1 hosers.id just get a really nice mya in 1 or 2 hoses. whats the point of 6hoses? that would be for like 12 people. at that number of people its time to break out a second hookah no matter how many hoses you have.100g is over 1/3 of a 250g pack. that translates to more shisha than ever needs to be in a bowl.

I'll throw out the 100g idea. come to think about it, i have a few 50g packs laying around.. 2 of those in a bowl.. well, i suppose you guys are right.I just like the novelty of 6 hoses. Like I said, I dont want to be practical. I found the 7ft sultan, but thats a little too large to transport, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookah Master Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 (edited) IMO 1 hoses hit the best. because there less margin of air leaking out, easy to clean, easy to maintain.But when i have friends over i hate passing the hose... Id say get a 4 hose rotator there worth it. Edited December 12, 2006 by Hookah Master Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I have a 1, a 2, and a 4 hose hookahs.My 4 hose with autoseal i drilled out 1 socket, one was th master hose and I use the other 2 fr purge valves. So essentially its a fancy 2 hose. My 2 hose i use in large crowds or with a poplular flavour and the 1 hose is the work horse.Passing is half the fun!

SanguineSolitude Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 again multi hosed rotators are stupid. if you need to get a rotator get it 1 or two hoses. more than that and you arent using the rotator function. if you want 4 or 6 hoses (why?) buy a non rotating one.

Zerodynamic Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 well guys I want to thank you for your input.I have decided on getting the 6 hose with a large funnel, and an ice chamber to boot. I will do plenty of experimentation so see whether or not the 6 hose can do the job... if not, I'll sell it and THEN buy something more practical. (preferably a 2 or a 3 hose mya, which i will end up buying anyway if I keep the 6 hoser.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakemonster Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 If its a party hookah.... then I would go with a MYA....You can get a MYA case set with a stem that has ports for up to 4 hoses. They come with two of the ports "Capped" with 2 screw in 2 plugs with rubber seals on them. It has one hose connection and a purge valve..... you could just get 3 more hose connections and screw them in the existing ports, and replace the purge valve with a hose connection.This way you can go from 1-2-3-4 hoses, whatever you needed at the ime in only a few seconds.Plus, you would have a carry case and jars for coal and shisha to tote the hookah to the party.
