maxx Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 hi, i just got introduced to hookah's fell in love with the hookah the first time i smoked from one, my question is, do the higher priced hookah's smoke better, or are they more expensive due to their looks? is one type better than another, for instance is egyptian better than the others? is glass better than acrylic? i want to buy the best smoking hookah, looks would be a second consideration, but best for smoking would defineatly be my first consideration, thanks for all replies, my price range would be anything under 300.00 u.s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypress Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 If you have 300 dollars to spend then we can get you one of the finest hookas out. The first question is do you want a multi-hose. Do you want the vase to glass, acrylic or bohemian crystal (this one is going to be the most expensive). The thing with acrylic vase is that it is shatter resistant and you can screw it on to a stem (the pipe portion) as oppose to using what is called a grommet (a type of gasket) for the glass and crystal. The main thing that makes a hookah good is the draw (how hard you have to suck to get smoke), durability, and the size of the bowl (the part where you put the tabacco). I think with this we can get you a verry good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxx Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 thanks, more info, i guess i would like to go with acrylic base, but only because it is shatter resistant, and all i need will be a single hose, i appreciate all the info, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypress Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Then you would like an acrylic Mya Saray Hookah. You can order it form www.myasaray.com or you can get it from www.hookah-shisha.com under modern hookahs. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entrailsgalore Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Alot of times youll pay a little mroe for materials used, or a certain campany name. All in all most hookahs smoke alot. But being expensive doesnt mean sturdy, and being cheap doesnt mean will break in a second. I got a rotator for 80 bucks, smoked great for the first 3 weeks then one day...it stopped smoking great. I still dont know whats wrong with it, ive checked everything 100 times. I also spent liek 60 bucks on a sultan hookah.....all Ills ay is that thing is in pieces right now. So sometimes cheap price can mean cheao quality. But then again I got my Mya acrilic for like 40 bucks, and it smokes great still and its NOT broken or has cracks or any leaks at all, great buy imo. But all in all all hookahs will smoke similar, and it comes down to how much yorue willing to spend on a hookah. Egiptian hookahs smoke as well as acrilycs imo, only dfference is teh acrylic wont break as easily. I would recomend buying one like me, its a medium sized Mya acrylic. Smeoks great, air tight sela and sturdy. For 40 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathazar Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Well, personally, I like my little 18 inch/$40 Sultan Hookah. It smokes great, and I haven't had any problems with it not being airtight or with the glass breaking, I'm very careful with it. But, if what you want is a totally airtight/shatter-resistant hookah, then I suppose the MYA SARAY acrylic would be your best choice. Then you could use the rest of your money for charcoal and tobacco products Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yashman19 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I don't like the idea of purchasing a hookah online without inspecting it myself before buying it, even though you could just send it back if it's defective. All my hookahs I've owned have been inspected before-hand, and the easiest way to do this is to take the bowl off the top, put your hand over the stem, and suck through the hose. If you can't such any air through, your hookah is "air-tight". Air-tightness is the most important thing when buying a hookah. I've seen very elaborate, very decorative expensive looking hookahs but had sh*tty welds and leaked air. If functionality is your most important feature when buying a hookah, just check your hookah for air-tightness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
