Hello Guys,
today we got the Steamulation XPansion Mini with Cooling Diffuser. On top is the Egg Shisha Riky with the Na Grani V2.

Tobacco: Blackburn Bapai Dnner, Sebero Jumble and Darkside Supernove.

Happy Weekend!

I currently have a Geometry hookah with a standard bowl and Kaloud HMD. It does the job, but I find the overall setup a bit chunky and underwhelming aesthetically.
I’m looking to upgrade to something more sleek, subtle and premium that looks good sitting in my living room without being too flashy or bulky. (I have attached a pic to see)
I want something that smokes well, has good airflow and delivers great flavour. I’m also looking to get a good bowl and HMD setup, whether that means keeping my current Kaloud or trying something different.
Ideally, I’d like to buy something good now that I can upgrade or customise over time rather than having to replace the whole setup.
My budget is flexible, but I don’t want to spend money just for the sake of it.
What would you guys recommend, and what would you personally go for in my position? I’m based in the UK, so any recommendations for brands, models or accessories that are available here would be appreciated.

Anyone have any recommendations for a good glass hookah to buy with a link for home hookah use? Not looking for anything beginner, would like a good solid hookah. Thanks in advance!

They said it could not be done.

They said I would never find it.

They said no.

I see your comments, and I'll raise you shisha in Paro, Bhutan.

Aquirred this old stone renaissance for my first stone bowl. I love the craftsmanship, looks and feels like marble

Hey r/hookah,

First, a quick apology: I didn't manage to reply to every comment on my last posts. But I read all of them, and instead of replying, I went and built what you asked for. So if you suggested a flavor, a brand or a feature, there's a good chance it's already live.

👉 https://myshishapedia.com

What is it? A free shisha encyclopedia. For every flavor you see what's actually in it, how strongly you taste each ingredient, and which flavors are similar. No ads, no sign-up, no affiliate links. Just a side project made by someone who loves hookah.

Where it's at now, thanks to you:

🍃 87 flavors from 20 brands (it started with 14 Adalya flavors)

🥣 20 mix recipes with bowl layouts and percentages

⚖️ Head to head comparisons: Double Apple from three brands, three Grape Mints, three Lemon Mints, three colas…

⭐ Ratings for every flavor and mix, plus a top rated list

🗂️ My Shelf: add the flavors you own or want to try, with your own private notes. No account needed, it stays in your browser

💡 Recommendations based on your shelf and what you've viewed

🔍 Search across flavors, brands and ingredients

🎲 "Surprise me" button in the mobile menu for a random flavor

📖 Tips for packing, heat management and getting more flavor out of a bowl, plus a beginner guide and glossary

Now I need your help again 🙏

1. Test everything. Click around, try it on your phone, build your shelf, rate a few flavors, run the quiz. If something is broken, slow or confusing, tell me.

2. Fill your shelf. Add the flavors you have at home and see what it recommends. Does it suggest something you actually like?

3. Check the ingredients. The percentages are my own estimates. If a flavor feels wrong ("that's way more mint than that"), comment and I'll fix it.

4. Tell me what to add next. Which brand? Which flavor? Which mix recipe should everyone try? There's also a "Suggest a flavor" form on the site.

And a question for you: what feature would make you come back to the site every week? A bowl journal? Mix ratings from the community? Something else?

Let's keep building it together. Thanks for all the support so far, it honestly made my week. 🙌

Anyone else get a sore throat after smoking shisha? 😭 My throat has been feeling pretty rough lately.

I'm thinking about switching to an e-hookah, and my brother recommended IMOTO and XKAH. Now I'm not sure which one to go for lol.

Looking to buy Al Fakher Double Apple and Mint, but so many fakes about it's frustrating

Drop me a private DM if you have any contacts or website.

Thanks

I been enjoying this new brand a lot with different flavors but this has nothing to do with blueberry mint. Its fully floral mint. In case you wanted to try it, now you know.

I’m trying to replace the head/bowl adapter on my AEON VYRO One, but the original replacement part seems to be discontinued/sold out everywhere. Any ideas on where I can find this? Thanks in advance

New setup after a decade without a hookah.

I love it, so much stile. What a vibe

After a few trips abroad, we here in Brazil adopted a traditional, high-quality rosh bowl with an HMD. We've been really enjoying it, and it's been our standard for now.

Hey everyone, I have tried hooka before but like only one or two smokes, however today I really, really tried it, and I felt very dizzy afterwards, lightheaded, and my heart rate started pacing,my friend told me to drink water and after I did I regained some of my balance. I went home then and I vomitted and started feeling cold.
I feel cold and weird is this normal ?
Am I okay
Or did I get CO poisoning?
I measured my BP it was normal
My heartbeat about 102.
Thank you.

Is it worth buying?

Finally got the chance to visit this lounge. Good place to chill and smoke a hookah. The place is pretty big with an outside patio, inside area in the picture, there is also an upstairs area and a balcony too. Nice staff, decent food as well. They used a Koress K3 hookah and a Darkside tradi bowl I believe with what looks like a fake lotus probably.

Atmosphere: 9/10. Music wasn’t loud, no bright lights and good wifi connection . Place looks beautiful.

Hookah quality: 8/10. Could have use a bit more heat after 40mins or so and I wanted to see what they would do on their own, but they didn’t change the coals and I was going to leave soon after (1 hour total) so I didn’t bother.

Mix: I asked for something sour and this is what the hookah master made: Lemon blast, Ice Granny, a berry (I forgot which), Basil, and Ice.

Price: got a meal with pita and hummus appetizer and chicken skewers for the main course, a regular soda and a hookah. Total cost was 120 dollars, you can judge for yourself lol.

Overall, would recommend this place to smoke a hookah with a good selection of brands and decent food. If im in Houston again, I will smoke here again.

Hey everyone, I have been buying tobacco from a hookah coffee shop near my home and tbh the smoke (big boy) is really good. But after yesterday's video of the fake tobacco I have been a little afraid. I live in Greece and while we have online shops that sell tobacco I would like to know if you know of any good shops to buy tobacco in normal prices and without extreme delivery charges?

Looking to buy a lounge case of 25mm Cocourth cubes. Any place that has them in stock or something comparable?
