Hookah: buy the best shisha from Darnashop!

What's the Best Hookah? Our Guide to Choosing Wisely

Buying a hookah is no easy task. A specialized website like Darnashop offers hundreds of models available in various colors. Between glass hookahs, budget-friendly options, hookahs made in Germany, or traditional ones, it's challenging to make a choice without professional advice. Fortunately, Darnashop provides its expertise in the hookah field to help you select a hookah that suits your needs.

Salon Hookah or Travel Hookah: Where Will You Be Smoking?

Let's clear up a question right away that has no definitive answer: there is no absolute best hookah. The model that will suit you depends precisely on the purpose for which you intend to use it. You should ask yourself, "What am I going to do with my hookah?" There are two major categories of hookahs, those intended for home use and those designed to be taken on the go during your travels. You'll need to choose one or the other type of hookah based on the primary usage you have in mind for the device.

Salon Hookahs:

Salon hookahs are the most common type of hookah. Designed both to decorate your interior and to share a hookah with friends, salon models are preferable for home use when seeking top performance. Salon hookahs are the models that will allow you to achieve the best performance and enjoy hookah sessions prepared exactly as you like. Among the most popular brands of salon hookahs are Aladin, EPOK, or Mr. Eds. The most discerning hookah enthusiasts (and those with the budget for it!) may turn to luxury brands like Steamulation. Generally heavier than travel hookahs, they are stable and are well-suited for shared use. What's more enjoyable than passing the hose among friends?

Travel Hookahs:

If, on the other hand, you travel frequently, and your hookah is meant to be transported from party to party, from car to car, then a travel hookah is more suitable for your needs. Compact and lightweight, travel hookahs take up less space and often come with a carrying bag. Their small size is more suited for individual use. They are less prone to breakage during travel. However, the performance of portable hookahs is by no means lacking! Small hookahs like those from Oduman, for example, or acrylic models like the Nano Box allow for enjoyable experiences and smoking wherever your desire takes you!

What Material Should You Choose for Your Hookah?

The second parameter to consider when choosing your hookah is the number of times you will use your device. This will help you decide on the material that makes up your device. The more frequently you use your hookah, the more important it is to opt for a durable material. If you smoke once or twice a week, a hookah with an aluminum or brass column is recommended. These materials are highly functional and cost-effective. Brands like AMY Deluxe or EPOK offer excellent models with unbeatable value for money. If you plan to use your hookah more frequently (three times a week or more), it is advisable to choose a device made of a noble material such as stainless steel or glass. These materials are more expensive but offer superior wear resistance and can withstand the repeated heating cycles. Among the manufacturers specializing in stainless steel, you have, of course, Aladin, but also WD Hookah and Dschinni. When it comes to glass, the unquestionable reference is the Dandy Glass brand, which produces magnificent and nearly indestructible glass hookahs!

Naked Hookah or Complete Package: What Accessories Do You Need for Your Hookah?

To choose your hookah wisely, you should also consider the accessories that come with your model because a hookah is always used with accessories such as the bowl, hose, or charcoal tongs. Some hookahs are sold bare, while others come with complete sets of equipment. There are no hard and fast rules in this regard, as each brand has its own practices. So, you will need to choose your hookah considering the accessories you already have or those you will absolutely need. If you're starting from scratch, buying a complete hookah package offered by Darnashop can prove more cost-effective than buying a hookah separately and assembling it by selecting the components one by one. Don't hesitate to compare to make the best choice!
