Big Accessory Order, Need Advice r/hookah

I just moved into a duplex with two of my hookah-loving friends who've decided to go in three ways once a month on a hookah order, due to the fact that I'm the only one with a hookah. I've already looked all around for accessories and I would like to ask your opinion, r/hookah, on what you think.

We're getting shisha, coals, a bigger bowl(only have the HJalien atm), a new washable hose for every day use, a non-washable hose for special occasions, new tongs, and a tangiers-sized windcover.

I have a KM oxidized ceramica with the basic base and a silver windcover. This one to be specific

This is what we were thinking about ordering:

Shisha:

  • Nakhla Basha Apple

  • Naklha Sherazade Cinnamon

  • Nakhla double apple

Coals:

Bowl:

Hoses:

Tongs:

Wind Cover:

Any suggestions? Tips? Experience? I'm really curious about the washable hose. I have not seen much about them online other than they're comparable to Nammor and I'm open to replace anything on there if someone has a better idea. Thanks!

P.S. I've already got fancy hoses and Tangiers in a Phunnel in a KM

Honestly HJ's Narbish hose is very nice. I don't really like unwashable hoses and if you're looking for something a little more stylish you can check those out. KM washable hoses are also nice, and I have a Harmony bowl coming in tomorrow morning, so I can't really give you an opinion on those. The main issue with the hoses you can't wash, even if you use them sparingly is that some flavors ghost quite strongly, and after a few sessions it does get annoying.

Yeah. I get the whole ghosting thing. It's going to be a dedicated hose to one flavor (probably mizo mint)

I did look into the Narbish and they are (supposedly) outstanding, but one of my housemates hates how it looks:/

Thanks for the input!

Nagoom hoses are what Nammor hoses used to be. Nammor now sells slightly cheaper quality when they used to sell high quality stuff. Not to say that it's crap now, but its a step down than what it used to be. From what I've heard Nagoom is a top knotch Nammor.

Nahkla's Peach as well as Shisha On the Beach are great flavors if you want to try something new.

Please do a review of the harmony bowl if you purchase it. I am on the fence about purchasing one and waiting for other peoples input/reviews.

i kinda did a review on the harmony bowl on my last post.

OhNoItsFelix•

Thanks and I read your review. Seems like you're a big fan the harmony. What's your guess on how many grams of shisha it uses to pack a bowl?

romefeller•

So far i like the harmony bowl over all my bowls but it does take a lot of shisha so thats the down side. im not sure how much shisha bit its more than 20g.

ShuckLuckOPSolid Brasstastic•

Awesome! That's what i thought the hose would be, but I wasn't sure. Any thoughts on the glass tip? worth the $15?

Agree 110% on the Nak peach. The best peach I've ever had (tried 6 so far) and it is on stock at my place right now;) What does the Shisha On the Beach taste like? I assume it's like sex on the beach?

I sure will! Ordering it, I expect it to be a slightly deeper alien phunnel that is comparable to the Tangiers small.

Glass tips have no use other than just aesthetic appeal so if it looks nice and you have the cash go for it. I personally would not; I'd be afraid to drop it. Also, the stock tips on the nagoom and nammor hoses are just fine.

Nak peach is the best peach for ure. Shisha on the beach is a mix of sex on the beach and mint. Its a super mellow flavor. Nothing too strong but just a nice bowl to have to mellow out and relax.

Yeah I am on the fence between alien or harmony. I want a harmony but I hear its huge and uses a lot of shisha.

1
ShuckLuckOPSolid Brasstastic•

Yeah. Ive got the cash, I was just making sure that we didn't buy a janky tip.

on the website it says it holds 30g's so 3-4 hours. If you want a 1-2 hour long session, the alien is FANTASTIC.

Alright thanks for the info. It actually helped me out a whole lot. Think ill go for the alien. :)

http://hookahjohn.com/SUPER-Jumbo-Tongs-037.htm for tongs

Any specific reason to get those over the gold ones besides how it looks?

1
romefeller•

I have the super and they grip pretty well. Its up to you still, im just suggesting.

1
ShuckLuckOPSolid Brasstastic•

They look like pretty cool tongs, but I would feel silly using them xD

1
romefeller•

Lol it kinda looks like a dagger in my hands when I'm using them.

Skip the nogoom with glass tip option and just get the hose. If you really want a glass tip check out Crown Hookahs.

I love my Narbish hose its well made never owned a nogoom though. For washable hose NuHose/Fancy Hose is my go to always keep some of those. can geta 5 pack for about $18.

ShuckLuckOPSolid Brasstastic•

Any particular reason to skip the tip? I'm sure ill get the plastic/acrylic tip with it anyways. As far as crownhookahs.com goes, I LOVE their selection, but it is significantly cheaper to go with the package deal. But on the other hand, we may be able to wait another month or so after getting the hose to get a tip P:

Love the fancy hoses as well, but Im looking for a better looking hose now.

Cause you're paying $20 extra for the glass tip that you have no idea the quality of when you can take that $20 and get a tip from crown like this one http://www.crownhookahs.com/shop/article_131001/%22The-Wand-v3.0%22-Glass-Mouthpiece.html?sessid=sTecpC7QsIHULxmA6U233Y0mHSCaYA9JE6LyYsxotPGRibgR5OnlKHqXSpsZqmya&shop_param=cid%3D7%26aid%3D131001%26

Well, it's $15 extra and that tip is $25 after separate S&H, but that is not a bad idea... hmmm...
