Get the Best Hookah Pipe
If you want to get the best hookah pipe, you are going to have to think about how many people you are going to use it with. If you are going to use smoke your hookah by yourself for the most part, then you will only need a single hose hookah. If you have a couple other people smoking with you every once in a while, a single hose hookah will still work out. If you are going to be smoking with other people more frequently, then you should be looking at a two or three hosed hookah.
A single hose hookah pipe should have a purge valve attached on the stem. The purge valve is used to blow the smoke that is lingering in the base. This comes in very useful when the smoke is getting bad. After you fix the coals on the bowl to correct it, you can just purge the harsh smoke out without having to inhale it. With a multiple hose hookah, you do not necessarily need a purge valve.
A big question you need to answer is whether or not you are going to take this hookah to different places. If you are going to take it around to friend’s places, you might want to get a hookah that is more portable. Two good choices would be to either get a small sized hookah or to get a hookah with a stem that disassembles into smaller pieces.
Another thing that you can get for hookah pipes, but not required, is an ice chamber. The ice chamber will sit below the ash tray on the stem. It will look like an upside down funnel. An ice chamber will help by keeping the stem cool. When you are using your hookah pipe, the stem will get hot from the heat transferring from the coals, to the hookah bowl, and then to the stem. To have a cooler smoke you can get a hookah pipe with an ice chamber.
