jordanneff Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 So yesterday I was at this new local hookah shop I randomly discovered (as in drove past and saw a sign saying 50% off all hookahs and immediately stopped what I was doing to find a parking spot haha) but even though they didn't have too many hookahs to choose from (maybe 15-20) but they had a few that were pretty big and it got me really wanting to get a large one when I buy one that's 100% mine. And by large I mean like around 36", they were bigger than any ones I've smoked before, but then again most hookah lounges I've been to usually only have like 2 footers. Anyway, I was curious as to whether there were any advantages/disadvantages to a larger hookah (other than like 'easier to knock over' or something). Like do they get better smoke, does it take more suction to get a good cloud, etc and stuff like that.Also, I was wondering about the hookahs with the ice chamber, and if they really make smoke thicker and/or cooler. I know you can always put ice in the base and all, but I'm just curious and why pay some extra money for something to experience things first hand and posssibly waste money when I have you guys (and gals) to guide me in the right direction ...

McDarragh Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 In my experience lareger hookahs are so much better for use - as the volume of smoke and the 'cooling properties' of the larger hookahs/bases are much better. The flavour comes through beutifully and it's not hard at all to get the smoke through.There not easier to knock over really either. There size gives them a higher pivot point than if they were small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanneff Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 Thanks for the tip! This makes me want a big one even more haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymptom Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Here I go again...Something I always think seems important to consider: A recent study found that smoke from small hookahs has 4x the amount of carbon monoxide as smoke from large hookahs. The abstract can be found here if you want more info: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.f...&dopt=Books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 basically anything 25-36 inches will give about the same quality of smoke, smaller than that can tend to be warmer or harsher smoke, but it is all subjective to what people like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookah hippie Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I personally use a rather large hookah with an ice bucket and I don't think i have ever had a nicer smoke out of a hookah then when I use mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
