Why Choose A Mini Hookah?

By John McCree


In a world with Mini-Golf, Mini-Cooper, and M&M Minis, why not have a mini-hookah? Now, before we assume that mini hookahs were conceived just because of creative monotony, consider that the standard hookah has some distinct drawbacks, which the mini hookah deals with very effectively.

Have you ever decided to bring your hookah with you on a vacation, business trip, or even over to a friends' home? If so, I'll bet you quickly realized that the pieces are cumbersome, awkward, and even breakable.

However, this is not the case with mini hookahs

At the time you buy a mini hookah, you get a travel case, which can be useful for quick and easy packing of the hookah. The case likewise helps keep your hookah cleanly while not in use.

So the biggest advantages of mini hookahs are:

1. They are easy to transport

2. As it is "mini", it does not need a lot of space

3. Not expensive

What's the Real Difference?

The obvious difference between mini hookahs as opposed to more traditional hookahs of course is the size. However, mini hookah isn't a proportionally small form of a hookah.

The stem is noticeably smaller in a mini hookah as compared to a traditional hookah. A standard hookah has a stem that makes up nearly 75% of the height of hookah, but in a mini hookah the stem is below 50% of the total height of the hookah. The length of the hose and the size of the water jar are also small.

Some parts of a mini hookah are almost equal or a bit smaller than a typical hookah. For instance, the bowl of a mini hookah is almost the size of the bowl of a regular hookah. Moreover, the length of the smoking session is same and equal amount of tobacco is used in both. The diameter of the hose and the diameter of the stem are a few other similar examples. If one of these diameters is decreased it would block the airflow and spoil the smoking session. So you can say that mini hookah is a more compact traditional hookah, however, many parts of the hookah are kept consistent with its counterpart for the reasons of performance.

The Carrying Case

As mentioned previously one of the best advantages of a mini hookah is that it can be packed in a carry case. Like hookahs, cases themselves can come in loads of shapes and sizes. To ensure that the no component of the hookah breaks, hard cases that look like small trunks are available. Compartments are designed in the carry case. Every compartment is used to securely store one component. The most breakable parts of a hookah are the bowl (made from clay) and water jar (made from glass), and because of its nature, the hard case gives great safety in the event the case is knocked or dropped.

You can also get soft cases out there. A separate compartment for every part is made much like the hard cases. A padding inside the carrying case protects the components from breaking. But, they aren't as secure as hard cases.

At the time you buy a mini hookah, you will get a travel case for it.

Finding A Mini Hookah

Because of the popularity of hookahs, the number of shisha shops in the U.S. has increased. So, you can go to a physical shop and find a good mini hookah. You can also purchase a mini hookah on the Internet from one of the numerous online stores that deal in hookahs and hookah accessories.
