aarunt1 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 (edited) Is there any Pros and Cons of a Tall Hookah compared to a Short one? My roomates and I are looking to buy a new one in the future and would like to know what experiences you guys have had with Tall and Short hookahs. Anything helps. Thanks Edited April 11, 2007 by aarunt1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThanksI have nine hookahs and I like my tall ones. I think that they hit smoother than the smaller ones. Edited April 11, 2007 by nbehar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarunt1 Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 ^wat exactly do you mean by smoother? Just easier to hit them longer or more smoke or ... ? Thanks for the reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerodynamic Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Taller hookahs hit better. More room for the smoke=better hits. Cons to a tall hookah is portability, smaller ones are easier to lug around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarunt1 Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 ^Sounds good. We were thinking around the range of 32"-35" but possibly a 30" How well do you think those will do? Right now we have a 18" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASUSEAN1 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 the smoke has more time to cool down with taller hookahs, put some ice i the base and you get some pretty amazing hits with the big smoke chamber compared to smaller hookahs. I have a feeling a bunch of people will say that it isn't noticeably different but all i know is I like my bigger hookahs compared to the qt, smileys 15 dollar hookah, and the mini SS egyptian.. although they are still good hookahs i would smoke my taller ones any day of the week over the smaller ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now we have a 18"IMHO, anything 22-28 inches hits just about the same. 29-36 is a bit harder to hit from, but the smoke has a lot of travel time to cool. 37-45 very tall, I see very few hookahs on the market like that. I have never smoked out of something that tall, but I can only assume the draw would be a little harder and the smoke about the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarunt1 Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 O ok thanks! So I should stick around 22-28" and Ill be fine then? What size hookah do you guys in here usually smoke out of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kym Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I really think the perfect size is 26. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeaflak Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 The taller the better i think. It definitely gives a better hit and the smoke is always cooler and therefore smoother to take in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeLipinski Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I have three hookahs, a QT, a 28" 1 hose rotator and a 36" 3 hose and I use my 36" practically anytime I smoke. I just keep the 28" if I have friends over and there are a lot of people smoking. I have found that my 36" hits better then the QT or the rotator, I have also found that it helps tone down the harshness a little. The con of course is that it is harder to bring to places, but I have a carrying bag for it so it isn't too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanneff Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I have a 30 inch egyptian and it hits smoother, and much less of a drag than the 22" mod one. Plus, at least what I've been told - is that the smaller hookahs produce 4x more carbon monoxide. Can't remember who said that but it's something to think about. I just know I like the bigger ones better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cemab4y Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Not to sound like a cop-out, but I actually prefer my small portable hookah for when I am away from home. It is much easier to carry around. I fill the reservoir with ice, and just enough water to get a good bubble action. I like the way it "clatters" when the bubbles push the ice around. The small hookah has a smaller base, and is more accident-prone, I have tipped it over a couple of times, and spilled the hot charcoal on someone else's floor, so keep that in consideration, when you take a hookah visiting. At home, I prefer the "presence" of the larger hookah. I actually own one small hookah for traveling, and two very large hookahs for home use. When people come over to visit, they always see the large hookah in the corner of the living room and go "What is that?" I answer, "A middle eastern sexual torture device, that I picked up on Saudi Arabia" Once they stop laughing, I tell them the truth, that it is smoking device. They are always fascinated, it is amazing how many people have no idea what a hookah is, they have never seen one up close. If they are smokers, I offer to load up and burn a bowl or two, and they always get a kick out of the ritual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
