twebb Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Does the number of hoses that a hookah has affect how hard it hits? Does it affect how fast the tobacco burns? I was thinking that a hookah with one hose probably works better? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hookah Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 after going to hookah bars for over a year i decided to buy my own hookah which is a two hose hookah. This thing hits harder than the one hoses at the bars. I like it better for bigger gropus so there is not as much passing. If you get a two hose one that dusnt have ball bearings then it might not hit as hard, but to solve that you put ur hand over the hose. A two hose would probably burn the shisha faster due to the fact that there will be more hits taken from it. I would go with a two hose cause to me personally i havent really seen a difference with hitting in other 1 and 2 hosers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASUSEAN1 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 1 hose hookahs are going to hit better. The two hose auto seal restricts airflow. a one hose hookah is more airtight, you have less things to worry about. get a one hose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allia22 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I have a two hose and it suits me perfectly, I just keep a plug in the other end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachslusser Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I have a three hose and i hate it and am selling it to a friend. But i think that a 1 hose is all you need because a big part of smoking hookah is the social aspect of passing the hose and sharing it. With the addition of another hose it take away from that. I am going to be buying a new 1 hose Prolly the oracle from Social Smoke. They use those at our lounge and they are great, Good somke and beautiful looking. So i recommend a 1 hose. Its somewhat personal preference but a multiple hose will pull harder. Zach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 As long as you plug the other hose or have someone put their finger over the end it won't matter. I have a 2 hose and i love it because i have never smoked alone. You just have to ask yourself if you will be smoking alone more, or with others more?

ASUSEAN1 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 (edited) i smoke with usually about five people. We usually have 3- 1 hose hookahs going. i think a lot of the more experienced hookah smokers will say a hose hookah hits better.edit: although i bet a lot of experienced hookah smokers also like multi hose hookahs, i think the majority of them like their one hose hookahs better Edited March 28, 2007 by ASUSEAN1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsofronin Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 i still dont see how you get that one hose hits better than two or vise versa.this doesnt make any sense at all to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsofronin Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 ok, now i understand.thanks for clearing that up...i have a two hose hookah and i never knew you had to cover theother hose when someone hits...i always cover my hose anyway when imnot hitting...

Mr. Hookah Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 honestly i dont see a restriction in airflow on my 2 hose and i do have the auto seal. But yeh like stated above its personal preferance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 One hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookah Joe Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 hmm, Now everyone got me scared. I ordered a 4 hose pharoah hookah from H-S. So, do the caps go on the end of the hose, or would I have to disconnect each hose not in use? (Sorry bout jackin yur thread mate!) I plan on smoking with 2-3 more people majority of the time, so it made sense to grab a 4 hose. Hopefully you find a nice hookah. I would recommend a 2 hose, just incase. I have a shitload of friends who've heard about hookah, but never tried it. Meaning if you're one of the only friends with the hookah, grab atleast a 2 hose.

Kingsofronin Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 i would say the four house wasnt the best idea.the most i would get is a two hoser.getting 3 people to hold their hose while one hitscan imaginatively be pretty annoying at times.

Allia22 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Just throw things at them until they learn. Keep a stockpile of random objects near the place you usually sit at to make this easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerodynamic Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I use a 2 hoser.. I like the smoke alone and all it do it put a plug in the other end.In general, auto-seal hookahs suck...or wait, it that blow? Pretty much, that autoseal feature makes its harder to make a draw... and as we hookah smokers all know we want the best smoke at the easy way possible.I'm looking into getting a nice tabletop 1 hose smoker, for when I don't wanna break out my 28" sirius II.

jordanneff Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Alright, now I'm not just trying to play devils advocate, but I honestly have to disagree with a lot of the things said here.I have a 3 hose and it hits great! Like others said it's just a matter of making sure everyone covers their hose, which isn't that hard really, and it converts easily into a 2 or 1 hoser with the plugs, so if you're just looking for a solo smoke it's simple and doesn't affect the drag whatsoever.

The King Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Getting people to plug their hoses takes about 3 seconds. You just say, put your finger over the hose when your not using it. As long as your friends aren't complete morons, it's no big deal. And my 2hose hits great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
