A quality glass bong is 100 times better then any hookah, especially the novelty ones which arent even air tight, they taste the same way the dirty store they sat in for years smells.

Ive hit a variety of hookah's and find that there more of an inconvenience then a worthy purchase, money that could be better spent on a cheap class pipe and an eigth.

ive never smoked tobacco or any other herbs out of a hookah, this is all based on my weed experiences
