Why Choose A Mini Hookah?

By John McCree


Have you heard of the a mini hookah? Do you want to know what a mini hookah is? Now, before we assume that mini hookahs were conceived just because of creative boredom, take into account that the traditional hookah has some distinct disadvantages, which the mini hookah handles quite effectively.

Have you ever tried to bring your hookah with you on a vacation, business trip, or perhaps over to a friends' house? If so, I'll bet you promptly realized that the pieces are complicated, awkward, and even breakable.

However, this is not the case with mini hookahs

The mini usually has a carrying case, allowing for simple packaging, protection, storage, and traveling. When not in use, this same case helps in keeping the hookah clean.

What are the benefits of mini hookah?

1. You can transport them easily

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

3. Affordable

What's the Actual Difference?

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

One of the primary differences is the length of the stem. While an average hookah stem may comprise 50-75% of the total hookah height, it's typically less than 50% in a mini. The length of the hose and the size of the water jar are small.

Nevertheless, there are a few aspects that are same between a standard hookah and a mini hookah. For instance, the bowl of a mini hookah is nearly the size of the bowl of a regular hookah. In addition, the duration of the smoking session is same and equal quantity of tobacco is used in both. And the diameter of the stem and hose stays consistent as well. If one of these diameters is decreased it would block the airflow and spoil the smoking session. So as a whole, a mini hookah is the right combination of miniature, but consistent with its larger counterparts where functionally needed.

The Case You Receive

As noted, a distinct advantage of the mini hookah is the option to carry it in a case for travel and protection purposes. There are various sizes and shapes in cases. Hard cases which look like small trunks are available for optimum protection. They are generally secured by a latch, just like a trunk or suitcase, and have separate padded compartments for every component of the hookah. The most breakable parts of a hookah are the bowl (made of clay) and water jar (made out of glass), and due to its nature, the hard case gives great safety in the event the case is knocked or dropped.

There are soft carrying cases as well. A separate compartment for each part is made just as the hard cases. Even though they lack some of the protection that hard cases provide, they are normally lined with some level of padding for protection, and they're secured by a zipper.

As the main purpose of a mini hookah is to offer easy transportation, carrying cases can be purchased with mini hookahs.

Where to Look for a Mini Hookah?

Due to the popularity of hookahs, the number of shisha shops in the U.S. has grown. So, you can go to a brick and mortar shop and find a good mini hookah. If you prefer online shopping, a quick Google search can help show you several great hookah resources.
