All About a Mini Hookah

By John McCree


We live in a world with Mini-Golf, Mini-Cooper, and M&M Minis, why not have a mini-hookah? Traditional hookahs have some disadvantages. To deal with these disadvantages producers of hookahs introduced mini hookahs. What are the disadvantages of a traditional hookah?

Have you ever tried to take your hookah with you on a vacation, business trip, or perhaps over to a friends' home? If yes, I'll bet you quickly realized that the pieces are complicated, awkward, and even fragile.

However, this isn't the case with mini hookahs

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

What are the benefits of mini hookah?

1. Easy to transport

2. Because it is "mini", it doesn't need a lot of space

3. Affordable

And the Difference is...

What distinguishes mini hookahs from the standard hookahs is the size. But, mini hookah isn't a proportionally small version of a hookah.

The stem is noticeably smaller in a mini hookah when compared with a traditional hookah. A typical 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 size of the water jar is also smaller.

Some parts of a mini hookah are just equal or slightly smaller than a typical hookah. Such as, the size of the bowl is the same as the typical hookah. Furthermore, the length of the smoking session is same and equal quantity of tobacco is used in both. Other things that aren't different are the diameter of the hose and the diameter of the stem. Otherwise, the hookah would limit air flow and not allow for a good 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 Carrying Case

As mentioned above one of the best benefits of a mini hookah is that it can be packed in a carry case. Much like hookahs, cases themselves can come in an abundance of styles and sizes. For maximum protection, hard cases are available, which look much like small trunks. They are generally secured by a latch, just like a trunk or travel suitcase, and have separate padded compartments for each part of the hookah. The most breakable components of a hookah are the bowl (made from clay) and water jar (made from glass), and because of its nature, the hard case provides great protection in the event the case is knocked or dropped.

You can also get soft cases in the market. Like hard cases, they usually have several compartments to organize and keep hookah and accessories. Even though they lack some of the protection that hard cases offer, they are normally layered with some degree of padding for safety, and they are secured by a zipper.

As the main purpose of a mini hookah is to offer convenient transportation, carrying cases are sold with mini hookahs.

Getting A Mini Hookah

If you're serious about physically looking for your own mini hookah, the best choice is to locate a hookah shop near you. If you are unable to find a hookah shop in your area, then you can purchase a mini hookah from a web-based hookah store.
