These days a wide variety of hookahs are available on market. From traditional hookahs to modern hookahs, individually crafted exotic hookahs to machine made low cost hookahs, the choices are endless. Buying a new hookah is always a special in every hookah smoker’s life, no matter whether you are a novice hookah smoker or a seasoned hookah expert. For hookah lovers, here at KC Smokz, we are all about helping you find the right pipe that you are looking for. It is quite usual that hookah preferences differ from person to person. The hookah which is absolute favorite of your friend may not even work for you. Obviously, one way to choose hookah is to go through different hookah brand specifications and match those hookah factors with your needs. But this is not the only way to go through it as there may be good hookahs that cherish you from lesser known brands.

So keeping the brand factor apart, let’s go through the discerning hookah factors which you need to consider while finding your hookah.

Material Matters:
Since your hookah is exposed to water and oxidation, select a material that will last a long time. Tempered and non-permeable material, which is less prone to rust are the best. Stainless steel is a good option as it is rust resistant and also easily washable. But avoid cheaper steel, as they are rest prone and rust very fast. Another best material is brass which is completely rust resistant, and lasts a lifetime. Copper is the worst choice as it corrodes easily and becomes toxic. Many hookah smokers prefer hookah body made of brass and jar made of glass.

Higher stem doesn’t mean better hookah:
There are small, medium and large hookah stems. Theoretically it may seem like stems with higher length enables smoke to travel more and hence cools it off. But it is a myth. This effect is negligible and higher length does not much contribute to cooling. The only advantage of higher stems is that it makes hookah looks grand and easy to handle. On the other hand mini hookahs are easily portable.

Bowl and hookah base:
Varieties of hookah bowls are available on market such as crown bowl, funnel bowl, vortex bowl, Egyptian bowl, Syrian bowl. The relatively new entrants are inverted bowls, electric bowls, and glider bowls. Each bowl comes with its own characteristics and advantages. If you wish to have one for a group party then you need to go for a larger one. Hookah base is another important part. They come in different sizes with enticing design and artwork. Heady glass base provides nice hues but are to be handled with care while cleaning and moving as glass is fragile.

Options in hose:
Hoses too are available in different styles and length. Depending on hookah, you can fit a single hose or multiple hoses to a single hookah. Most of the hookahs with multiple hose option have rubber stoppers, which make it easy to convert back down to one hose. Hoses as such come in two varieties, washable and non-washable. Non-washable hoses usually contains rust prone metal in its inside part. Washable hoses are a bit more flexible and rinsing helps to keep your hose clean.

Apart from the hookah characteristics, the shisha flavor you chose and the quality of hookah charcoal highly influence you smoking experience.
