this hookah is way to clean for ppl that dont smoke to really know how good these mya hookah are. they will give you the cleanest taste and pull the biggest clouds way worth the money if you are looking to buy one hookah that will last a few years

I was surprised, how fast the hookah really was here in switzerland... it only took 6 days well the shipping cost enough :P and my first impression is really good ; the hookah is airtight fits well together and stands quite well on the ground. the base black is quite an eyecatcher and is massive so I think it wont break fast. only little complaint is... the mya bowl that came with it is little cracked on the downside... but that wont be a problem I think. An unexpected extra that came with my 2 hose hookah was an extra hose connector :P altough not auto sealing : but at least I could make it a 3 hose hookah now ;. overall quite cool looking hookah and hope it smokes as well as it looks. who knows maybe I will buy another hookah from here... if it weren't for the shipping costs :S Greez

can anyone comment on this vs. the vortex? which is a better smoke?

yea sooo this is the best hookah ive ever smoked. Great smoke and its really easy to clean. This is probably the best product to buy. It's a lot more expensive if you try to get it in a store so just buy from this website =)

I just got mine today and it's awesome. This is my first hookah and I love it. It's really well made, the stem comes apart in a few peices making for a really easy cleaning and storage. The auto-seal system is really nice. Also, it looks amazing, the base is beautiful. It also comes with a sweet carying case making for really easy storage/transport. The customer service was great, will definitely be buying alot more from here!

Great Hookah, quality product and amazing smoke. I've owned several hookahs from other sites but HS central has the best pipes and great shisha.

I just got my hookah about 3 days ago and it has been a non stop great smoking. me and all my friends agree this hookah is great

visually stunning without sacrificing practicality. This hookah was made to last. I gave up on the cheap plastic ones. This mayan was well worth the investment.

I'm literally smoking this hookah right now. It has to be one of the best hookah's out there. It is very well constructed and also cleans easy. The hoses that come with it are perfect and allow for a great hit. The bowl that comes with it isn't the best, but as stated before, a mod bowl can replace it. Overall, this hookah is great and I am very satisfied with my order.

This hookah is solidly constructed. All the parts fit together extremely well with O-rings at every connection. The case that comes with it fits everything, but doesn't really have much padding. The Mya hoses are decent- a step up from standard hoses, but not quite the cobras or Nammors. I only have a couple of complaints- the bowl that comes with it SUCKS, but a decent mod bowl is like 5 bucks so who cares. Also, the grommet that connects the stem to the base is a bit soft, but I've never had any problems with the seal, it just makes the stem wobble around a tiny bit. Get a new grommet if you want. Final complaint- the stem heats up a LOT. Granted, I'm yet to find a hookah where this is not a concern, but one thing that I like to do is tape ice packs around the stem, it makes a big difference.

When shopping for my first hookah I literally looked at every hookah and review on this site and decided to drop a few extra bucks on this one. I bought it expecting better quality and functionality than the cheaper 50-100$ hookahs that are used at our local hookah bar. I wasn't disappointed. This thing has the be the smoothest hookah ive ever tried, no need for hookah bars now, I just invite everyone over to my house. Its a great centerpiece, Beautiful base, great for decoration when not in use. the only con is the mobility of this monster. I suggest getting a sports bag or a huge backpack if you want to bring it places. Thanks Hookah-Shisha for Amazing customer service, you have another customer for life.

You simply cannot find a better hookah, period. It costs a little more than a similar size Egyptian/Syrian model, but the materials and design are far superior. The shaft is made entirely out of heavy polished stainless steel. The shaft sections screw together with heavy internal threads and the junctions are sealed with o-rings (despite the other review, it does disassemble into 5 pieces). The auto-seal hose connectors also have heavy internal threads and o-ring seals. Unlike some Egyptian/Syrian hookahs, no parts are soldered or braised together. It is precision machined and all parts are threaded together. Spend the extra money - you will be very glad you did!

Tall hookah and well made. The stainless steel is very solid and well crafted. However, unlike the description says, please note it only splits into 3 parts. The smoke has yet to be harsh and the glass base is amazing. Definitely recommended!
