Comments on: Hookah Mythbuster – Does a tall hookah really smoke better than a small hookah?

I find this article to be useful but misleading.

Myths are based on what you’d think would happen. They are not busted by the application of yet more thinking about what should happen, but by actual measurement. Without measurements, you’ve provided a reason to expect a certain outcome, but you haven’t actually shown that your reasoning is correct.

How about some measurements?

Gentlemen, we all know that bigger is better.

I have never had any problems with my teeny pumpkin hookah and the smoke is just as good and thick as it is in my azizi. I prefer my azizi because it is a lot more stable and it looks a lot nicer, but i love my little pumpkin as well.

a longer stem does not equal better. you want the smoke to be in the water JUST long enough to cool the smoke and filter out poisons. any additional time just wastes flavor and will alter the smoke’s consistancy

the advantage of the large hookah is more room for smoke in the vase and more water volume wich takes longer to heat

I would think that it greatly depends on how deep the stem dips down into the water. if a stem only goes an inch under water then the smoke travels a very short distance back up to the chamber, on the other hand if you have a rather large vase matched with a long down stem then the smoke would spend more time under the water thus cooling it more. just a thought that popped into my head.

Actually I disagree about the length of the hookah not mattering. It actually does to an extent. Well it comes second. First thing that matters in getting alot of smoke, is the flavor you use, the coals, the type of bowl, the quality of the foil and the number of holes you poke. I bought my hookah from a town in Cairo and it smoked incredible for 2 years straight. Actually, me and my friends are yet to find a hookah anywhere that got more smoke than that hookah. It had to do with the hookah & the way I packed it, so everything does matter. Now I have a bigger one that I got in the U.S. and I hate it. I have found that the best size is between 27″ – 31″ … it is just optimal for everything (flavor, easy to pull, holds a lot of smoke is vase).

According to myth numero uno the water is the only thing that affects the temp. of the smoke. Yet most stems are made of some type of steel or metal and when the hookah is functioning the tip of the stem is in the water. If you put a piece of metal in a bowl of ice water the metal will also get cold. So if a stem is also cold chances are the stem alone will affect the temp. of the smoke along with the ice water in the base. Stems are longer in larger hookahs when compared to small hookahs. So I’m willing to bet that there is a temp. difference in a small hookah when compared to a larger one and as we all know the colder the smoke the thicker. Note- The size of a mans hookah is simply as personification of his penis

The only reason for purchasing a hookah, aside from the show-off factor, is the fact that a larger hookah may hold more smoke than its’ smaller brethren, depending on how it’s built of course. That can be a good or bad thing, as some people will use tongs to remove the bowl and clear their hookah before hitting again. If you don’t do that, then there’s not much of a point, as “clearing” your hookah will pull more smoke in, wasting tobacco that begins to lose its’ flavor when it lingers in the chamber.

Larger hookahs are also more difficult to break, contrary to popular belief. A larger hookah is easier to pass without dropping as there is more to grip, and instinct dictates you be more careful with it. Smaller hookahs are passed more quickly and carelessly.
