Mini Hookah - A Hookah for Carrying Around

By John McCree


In a world with Mini-Golf, Mini-Cooper, and M&M Minis, why not have a mini-hookah? Standard hookahs have some drawbacks. To address these drawbacks manufacturers of hookahs launched mini hookahs. What are the disadvantages of a traditional hookah?

People who have ever tried to bring their hookah with them on a vacation or to a friend's house would appropriately understand that hookahs have many parts and some of these components are delicate.

However, this is not the case with mini hookahs

It is extremely simple to take a mini hookah anywhere along with you as it comes with a carrying case. The case also helps keep your hookah cleanly while not being used.

Therefore,the biggest advantages of mini hookahs are:

1. You can transport them easily

2. Since it is "mini", it doesn't require a lot of space

3. Not expensive

And the Difference is...

The obvious difference between mini hookahs compared with more common hookahs of course is the size. There are a few other differences between mini hookah and a conventional hookah.

The stem is considerably smaller in a mini hookah in comparison with a regular hookah. A typical hookah has a stem that makes up nearly 75% of the height of hookah, however, in a mini hookah the stem is below 50% of the total height of the hookah. The water jar is also quite a bit smaller, and so is the length of the hose.

Certain parts of a mini hookah are almost equal or a little smaller than a standard hookah. One of such things is the size of the bowl. In addition, the length of the smoking session is same and equal quantity of tobacco is used in both. The diameter of the hose and the diameter of the stem are other such examples. Otherwise, the hookah would restrict air flow and not allow for an enjoyable smoking experience. So you can say that mini hookah is a more compact traditional hookah, but some parts of the hookah are kept consistent with its counterpart for the reasons of performance.

The Travel Case

As already mentioned 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 many shapes and sizes. To ensure that the no part of the hookah breaks, hard cases that appear like small trunks are available. They are generally secured by a latch, like a trunk or suitcase, and have separate 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 from glass), and due to its nature, the hard case gives great protection in the event the case is knocked or dropped.

In addition, soft cases are also available. From inside, they are much like hard cases with different compartments for every part. A padding inside the carrying case protects the parts from breaking. But, they aren't as secure as hard cases.

When you purchase a mini hookah, you will get a travel case for it.

Where Can I Find My Mini Hookah?

If you're interested in physically searching for your own mini hookah, your best bet is to look for a hookah shop near you. If you are unable to find a hookah shop close to you, then you can buy a mini hookah from a web-based hookah store.
