Why Choose A Mini Hookah?

By John McCree


People appear to be putting mini with everything these days, mini golf, mini cooper and then mini hookah. Now, before we assume that mini hookahs were invented just because of creative boredom, take into consideration that the standard hookah has some distinct disadvantages, which the mini hookah deals with quite effectively.

The greatest disadvantage with a conventional hookah is the size. It is has a lot of elements and a few of those parts are fragile. So if you ever wish to bring your hookah with you on a vacation or to a friend's home it would be extremely difficult; more or less impossible.

However, this isn't the case with mini hookahs

At the time you buy a mini hookah, you get a carrying case, which can be used for fast and easy packing of the hookah. The case likewise helps keep your hookah cleanly while not being used.

Hence the greatest advantages of mini hookahs are:

1. They are simple to transport

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

3. Not pricey

The Actual Difference

Size is the primary distinguishing factor between a traditional hookah and a mini hookah. Having said that, mini hookah isn't a proportionally small version of a hookah.

For starters, the key difference is the length of the body, or stem. A typical hookah has a stem that accounts for 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 size of the water jar is additionally smaller.

Nonetheless, there are some aspects that are same between a standard hookah and a mini hookah. For example, the bowl of a mini hookah is nearly the size of the bowl of a standard hookah. Irrespective of whether you're smoking from a regular or mini, the amount of tobacco and length of smoking session are the same. 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 where it is vital for the performance of the hookah, the size of the components of mini hookah are kept consistent with its counterparts.

The Case You Receive

As noted, a distinct advantage of the mini hookah is the option to carry it inside a case for travel and safety reasons. There are different sizes and shapes in cases. For greatest protection, hard cases can be purchased, which look just like small trunks. They are generally secured by a latch, like a trunk or travel suitcase, and have individual padded compartments for every part of the hookah. The most breakable components of a hookah are the bowl (made from clay) and water jar (made of glass), and due to its nature, the hard case gives great protection in the event the case is bumped or dropped.

In addition, soft cases can also be found. Like hard cases, they often have several compartments to arrange and store the hookah and accessories. A padding inside the travel case protects the parts from breaking. However, they are not as secure as hard cases.

Finally, while cases are normally sold with mini hookahs, which are 17 inches, you can easily find a case that will hold a 32 inch hookah or larger.
