I Have Never Bought A Hookah Before

I am on a serious budget, so I have been looking for a bargain.
I found this one and thought it looked good.
But now I am having second thoughts. Why is this puppy so cheap?
Would I be better off with something else?

It's got a nice look but after owning a non-name brand hookah for 2 years I'll steppin it up, and there are hookahs that'll fit yer budget that're probably of a better quality.

Personally for my second hookah, I'm picking up a Mya QT. They're small (14 in.) but everybody who owns one loves it. Just go to the review section and look at the QT thread under hookah pipe reviews. It supposedly hits like a larger hookah, the base is heavy and steady, and it's portable. They cost about 40-45 bucks.

Good luck!

Thats a decent hookah. You will want to order a larger bowl for it. And you'll need a new hose in a few months. But overall a good buy for the price and I'm sure it will smoke fine. Hookahcompany is a reliable vendor.

but if your willing to drop 10-15 more, mya makes two small hookahs that both smoke really well...the QT and the Bambino. But then again i had a non-name brand hookah i took to parties and it ripped like a champ...so just because its not a named brand doesnt mean that its not a good hookah.

A decent hookah the hose isn't washable though so you might want to consider buying a washable hose for it

Looks decent at best. Its Egyptian, so it should not disappoint as your first hookah.

[JillyIsJustKidding]

I got something decent like that except with a diff base as my very first hookah.

It was a great hookah...But I accidently broke it

But when it was alive lol it was a def great pick! It smoked really good from my memory!

I'd stick with that if I were you

[pigpen]

Thanks for the opinons.
Yeah- for the money I certainly don't expect it to be my last hookah.
But the cost satisfies the husband (he does not smoke), so better a cheapie than none at all
I will let you know what I think when it arrives.

aside for the purge, that stem looks exactly like one of them thar magdy zidan safari shisha's.
i can vouch for a no name egyptian, i had one, it ripped like a champ, i paid too much for it, and had to store it in my grandmothers garage with a bunch of other stuff, she though it was a not hookah, and tossed it.
then i got a leaky ass rotator, and now i a km hafa, a mz nefertiti, a leaky rotator, a noname egyptian, and a QT.
you cant go wrond with an egyptian, unless its a rotator.

I smoke out of one of those every week. I love the hell out of it. One of the best 30 dollar investments I've ever made. GO FOR IT! You wont regret it, believe me. Check the review section also. I placed a review in there.

Agree with Mush and Bulldog, these are great little hookahs, definitely worth 30 bucks. But you will need a better bowl and better hose.

Make it simple stick with hookah company for this order, save on shipping.

Hose: Grab a Mya Wide or a KM Hose

Bowl: Grab a Phunnel or a Saudi Arabian Hookah Head

I agree. This looks like a great buy if it's what you want. Good luck!
