Buying a Hookah That Suits Your Taste

By John McCree


Selecting a hookah is difficult because all hookahs aren't created equal. Before buying a hookah you must have a clear idea of how you will use the hookah. These are some questions that you should ask yourself if you want to buy a hookah:

1. How often do I want to use the hookah?

2. Will I simply keep it in my house or will I move it?

3. Will the size matter?

4. Do I want my hookah to be kept in a cupboard I'm not using it, am I going to use it as an elegant decoration?

5. Will it be used by one person in a smoking session?

6. How long would I like my smoking sessions to last?

7. Have I got a certain design for the hookah in my head?

Believe it or not, every one of these questions could inform your hookah buying decision.

Where Should I Look for a Good Hookah

If you want to buy a hookah then you can visit a shop or you can get one on the Internet. At a brick and mortar shop, you get the advantage of checking several different hookahs physically and getting advice from the shopkeeper.

Purchasing online can be really easy as you can purchase a hookah from the convenience of your house. Make sure the web store you choose has a solid reputation on the Internet.

Different types of Hookahs to Consider

There are different types of hookahs and each type is ideal for specific taste and purposes. A few of these types are:

1. Egyptian Hookah - Quite common, traditional, reasonably priced hookah, characterized by large, slender stems, and typically manufactured from copper, brass, or stainless steel.

2. Syrian Hookah - The hoseport of this type of hookah has an upward angle. It is a little pricey as compared to the Egyptian hookah.

3. Crystal Hookah - These hookahs are extremely tasteful and quite expensive. Crystal hookahs may also be used for decoration in the house because of its design and elegance.

4. Rotating Hookah - These hookahs are usually made of stainless steel and characterized by a spinning base at the bottom that allows the entire hookah to rotate 360 degrees for simple hose passing. The swiveling feature adds small cost.

5. Mini Hookah - Like the name implies these hookahs are small size and ideal for individuals who travel a lot. They are usually low-priced.

6. Specialty Hookah - Specialty hookahs are great for those who are interested in a hookah to suit their unique personality. The price of specialty hookah can vary from inexpensive to very pricey. It all depends on what you need.

What To Do Before Buying

Before making a purchase, you should test out different types of hookahs. All the hookahs produce a similar result but as you have seen that each kind of hookah has specific characteristics, some types might be better suited for you than the others. For example, some users prefer a smaller hookah to a larger hookah because the latter uses more suction to smoke. Furthermore, a larger bowl (generally holds x ounces of shisha) can last significantly longer than average bowls (designed for x ounces of shisha).

If there are hookah bars near your home, then you should go and spend time there to see which hookah suits you best. If you purchase the right hookah, you can use it for years. So make sure you buy the perfect hookah.
