A hookah is made up of several parts:
Each component is detachable to allow thorough cleaning of the hookah after each session.
First of all, it is essential to determine how you will use your hookah. If it is reserved for personal and solo use, a single-entry model is obviously sufficient. For more social use and group sessions, consider multi-hose hookahs which generally have two to four entries. You will need to provide multiple hoses and mouthpieces. It is still possible to smoke together on a single-entry hookah, provided that multiple mouthpieces are used for hygiene purposes.
Hookahs come in a wide variety of sizes. If you plan to use it only at home, you are free to choose a medium model (between 30 and 50 cm) or a larger one (over 50 cm), the latter providing better sensations and longer sessions.
If you plan to take it with you regularly for outdoor use, a small hookah or a mini hookah (less than 30 cm) will be much more practical as it is easily transportable.Despite their small size, these hookahs remain very efficient. The only drawback: the sessions are fairly short. Some brands also offer so-called "portable" hookahs, accompanied by a small carrying case much appreciated by traveling smokers.
Beyond its use, the hookah is also a decorative accessory that can sometimes take on the true appearance of a work of art. Whatever your tastes, you will be spoilt for choice among the wide range of hookahs available today. Featuring varied designs and colors, they faithfully sit alongside the timeless traditional oriental models or stand out with a more original and contemporary touch.
For traditional enthusiasts, a classic hookah will be perfect: à At once discreet and aesthetic, simple yet effective, it finds its place everywhere and allows one to discover the pleasure of smoking shisha with complete simplicity.
Modernity enthusiasts will find their happiness with a translucent and sleek shisha composed of a glass vase, a luminous shisha equipped with an LED system, or a prestigious luxury shisha designed in laboratory glass or precious wood.
On the brands' side, DUD offers beautiful glass shishas at very variable prices.Very well-known in France, the MYA brand designs hookahs of high professional quality and suitable for all budgets. The American brand Starbuzz, famous for its tasty hookah tobacco, offers a range of top-notch hookahs that will delight the most demanding smokers.
The price of a hookah mainly depends on its design and size. If you are just starting out, do not hesitate to purchase a cheap hookah (from 10 euros) which will be perfect for taking your first steps and making sure the practice suits you. You can then consider getting a more sophisticated model, very sturdy and allowing for better draw. For intermediate models, expect to pay between 20 and 70 euros for a classic hookah which generally offers excellent value for money.
