The first article would be a little long but I promise you that his successors will be more concise..
To be able to choose the right hookah you have to take into consideration several criteria to choose from, such as size, quality and place of production, cost, accessories and personal taste.
Each of the critical selection criteria appropriate for you, and I'll show you a clear picture to what you're going.
Sizes:
Very small: These hookahs are carried to a height of 15 cm, so right. Are hookahs so compact you can carry them in your pocket weighing about 200 grams. to the addicts among us who just have to smoke at any time our eyes open
Small: Hookahs at a height of 35 cm. Hookahs compact, best suited to the sea, hiking, weight 700 grams
Medium: Hookahs at a height of 50 cm, weight ranges from 1 to 2.5 kg. Hookahs primarily to but you can take them for long walks
Large: Hookahs to 1 meter in height, weight from 1.5 kg, hookahs house. Not recommended to take out of the house, because it's just not convenient to drag on with them
Huge (very large): Hookahs that rose to 1.8 meters (and even more)
Does size matter?
Health perspective (or less risky), then the answer is unequivocal, as a smaller hookah, water and a small amount of material inhaled into the lungs is more concentrated and therefore causing more damage. In other words, as a smaller hookah more we want to smoke, and greater volume. My recommendation is to choose what suits you, for example, if you're traveling around and not smoking so much I would recommend a small hookah / medium, if you smoke only at home - then a large hookah, if you're addicted then bought one of each size.
Often people ask me "Is a small hookah is as good as big?" So the answer is yes and no, which brings us to the following criteria..
Quality and production place:
Production in East Asia: Most waterpipes currently manufactured in such as China, India and Thailand, these are usually waterpipes less reliable but there are some exceptions that work better than the Syrian and Egyptian known
Production in the Middle East: Syrian hookahs are now considered the highest quality, high-quality Egyptian and Turkish also. What's the difference you ask, first has the history, find hookah is definitely in Africa certainly in India. But smoking is mainly in Arab countries and the Middle East, making the professionalism and experience an important tool to produce a quality hookah. Second, the amount and cost of production, veteran Middle East enterprises are dozens if not hundreds of years in East Asia Manufacturing waterpipes is 'new' and relatively less known, more establishments in East Asia industrialized and less attention to detail, and there is more wear and tear
Metals:
Aluminum: poor quality, mostly small hookahs, "tomato" Just revisional scoliosis With little effort, indicating their poor quality, can be seen in metal relief according to both the weight of the hookah and according to the thickness of the metal (lower hose). Will not last long for the heavy smokers, worn, rust and will accumulate quickly
Nickel simple: simple hookahs aluminum metal is quite similar and there is little to add, except that sometimes they "see" more Aciotiot more beautiful because of lacquer, but do not let the beauty deceive you
Stainless Steel: often characterized Syrian hookahs, quality castings, but also notice that might mislead coated stainless steel, the best way to tell is by weight of the hookah
Casting Nickel: thick Nickel , typical of Egyptian and Chinese water pipe castings, cast mostly metal hookah one but with a bottom screw cap. good and average hookah. you may be slightly confused , so we'll talk in three stages:
1. check the thickness of the metal, thicker metal = higher quality
2. Weight - heavier mostly point quality hookah
3. Finishing - If the metal is thin and coated , it's not good. If there are too many holes in the welding work that had been blocked even worst. If it's entire cast work you may notice some welding between the top of the hose to the bottom the tube (the region that connects the container body hookah) - do not worry it's natural. For example in Syrian hookahs (only check if there are no holes). Rotating hookah, opposite hookah, with a tray of ice hookah, wooden hookah, a huge hookah, hookah with flashing lights ... we just missing a hookah prepare you coffee and you're neat. Do not get excited from all the wonders of technology it does not promise a quality hookah
Cost: the waterpipes prices in middle east countries (usually) moving between 10-200 $. Huge range comes from the many and varied types of waterpipes . First you have to think about budget and your pocket, lets asume your budget stands at $ 50 hookah, I would recommend you take a medium hookah hookah casting than a base metal. you should invest in higher quality, because most of the maintenance duration is short in cheap hookahs. For example, if a water pipe base metal will cost you $ 20 you will hold 6 months, and a quality hookah at $ 40 will have nine months it would be better to buy one quality hookah that will last you three times more than a simple one
Accessories: Most come with a jug of water pipe, hose, head and tongs, but sometimes you can get "gifts" such as tobacco and / or coal, or a better pipeline. So ask the seller what else he can give you (except of course haggling over the price).
Jug - Notice the connection between the water pipe to the jug, after all the main thing is its opacity. there are jugs that screwed to the hookah, Wow you must think,think again, screw jugs are Cool but what if you break the jug? Go and find this special jug now. a situation that will force you to buy a new hookah, instead of a jug. some has stunning colors like a cool black jug. STOP! how will you see the water line?will you pour more water until you get to the right amount? Too much effort to that nice jug, won't you agree?
Tube - the tubes are divided into two main categories, with metal coil within or without.Simple Tubes are manufactured with a coil of metal, you can not wash the pipe properly as the coil will rust then you inhale a bits of metal (disgusting and unhealthy, someone said yummy?), the Syrians hose has a coil of metal but you feel the tobacco taste better than any other hose, despite the downside of the washed option, they are great tubes and highly recommended. Tubes without coil metal are washable, and are very high quality, note the length and the handle tube, if the handle is a long metal , these are high-qualitytubes.make sure you check the connections between the handle of the hose to the hose and the hose to the waterpipe, beside these exceptions these tubes are recommended. The pipe can be checked easily, plugging one end of the pipe and blow the other end, turn in to the tube to see if air escapes (if you hear a noise that's indicate the escape of air so choose a different hose), and the same test on the other side
Head - the heads divided into three groups: porcelain, clay and other
Ceramic - standard diameter head, it is recommended to stick to that size, but deep heads are excellant (not wide - deep), in deep heads the tobacco "burned" slowly andyou'll get a better smoking experience, the porcelain material is more durable but warms up more quickly
Clay - clay heads also come in standard size but heats up slower, but more fragile if falling. Highly recommended
Other - There are dozens of different types of heads, dual, triangular head, head with carbon covers, iccy head and many more .. A little more to my taste.and suits to those who must have all existing hookah accessory
Forceps - Notice that most of the times you'll get a little crooked small forceps, ask for flexible long tongs, that does'nt break easily
Apart from these accessories that comes with the hookah when you buy it, I will recommend a number of other accessories:
Windshield - highly recommended for those of you that smoke outside, with the windshield the coal will not burn the tobacco faster and you will have more enjoyable smoking experience, and for long, if you smoke at home - you don't have to buy
Fairies (pacifiers) - If you tend to have friends at home and want to maintain sterility hookah as possible, buy a fairy package that will last you for a long period of time with a cheap cost
Foil - buy a thick foil as possible
Personal taste: when you choose a hookah do not forget your own personal taste, color vase, color head, decorated hookah, body paint and paint of the hose usually left for your choice, what is beautiful and what not? That I can not help you.
As i said, that's my first post so i will be happy to recieve any kind of opinions about everything, my English, the writing style etc.
Thank you, have a good smoke
My pleasure thanks for the kind words
