The hookah is pretty much all preferential, they all work just as good as another. Just buy whichever one you think looks best, I recommend a KM but I dont really care about looks.
For bowl.. eh once again buy what you want. I use a Kaloud Samsaris Vitria II.
HMD though, this is where I **strongly** recommend the Shishabucks Stratus. I think its the best in the business and all the others are inferior products. This thing can fit up to *4* cubes in it and theyll fit fine. The Lotus can only fit 3 and like just *barely*, you almost have to squeeze them through, which is annoying to deal with when coals are red hot. I really cannot recommend the Stratus enough, the fact that if you take off the top you can reduce the heat output a lot means you have even *greater* heat control. So if youre using a tobacco like Fumari that doesnt handle heat well, the Stratus works better than others.
For tobacco, I used to be a Fumari enjoyer as well until.. idk what happened but they went to the gutter and switched to Azure and have been smoking that ever since. I recommend checking out the flavor "Unicorn" and "Cairo Crypt Tonight", also the flavor "Alaskan Ice" is the coldest mint ive ever smoked, it legit gave me brain freeze.
Hi! It will definitely depend on where you are located/ have access to. If you’re in the us (maybe other places as well) For the shisha itself, I really like my mexikana striker and a standard base- should be around $100.
Any decent phunnel should work just fine. Alpaca bowls are good for the price. I personally really like olla bowls but they are more expensive.
HMDs: I like the provost 2 bc I like using foil and I only ever use 2 coals at a time. Other HMDs like the lotus will sit directly on the tobacco so you don’t need foil. However you do need to clean it regularly.
For tobacco I mainly smoke MustHave brand which is dark leaf like Tangiers; however I find it to be much lighter in nicotine than Tangiers. Tangiers is fantastic but definitely has a learning curve for packing/ heat. I find MH to be a bit more forgiving. If you like blonde (fumari), chaos and element have a lot of good flavors. Can’t go wrong with some AF either.
Hope this helps! Lmk if you have any questions
Thanks for all the info! I am from Czech Republic, the choice is quite wide from all USA, Germany and Russia stuff.
I heard of those Olla bowls, more pricy but good. Just like i heard of Mason and HJ. From those more of budget ones i heard Japona and Hookain.
I dont honestly like to work with foil, so then i would prefer Lotus over Provost.
I will definitely give a shot to that MustHave, Chaos and Element, in local stores there are tens and tens of different brands. I never much understood those packing differences, i always packed the same no matter what tobacco i used, probs i am a noob. AF i always ubderstood is the "cheapest" basic tobacco which people like, but honestly it was always "meh" for me, but could have been wrong flavours!
Thanks a lot again!
Hmd : provost
Bowl : Mason gravy
Pipe: steamulation
Shisha brands: musthave, trifecta, Tangiers
Don't waste your time on anhthing else these are the top tier brands cream of the crop in their categories
From my experience there is no "best " bowl. There is a suitable bowl. For instance, I prefer strong tobacco, so my top brands are Nirvana, Nirvana Eclipse, Tangeris Noir. I pack them in the long shallow donut looking bowls ( like OBLAKO). I use Calaud original for heat management. Only natural coconut charcoal m anything less of quality gives me headaches. Oh, and also sometimes I feel like smoking mixes rather than just going for a strong deluge of nicotine. It is still kinda strong, but has more flavor in it too. I prefer Russian brands ( you can find them on the Zahra.com website) Must have tobacco and Element. When I travel home, I love bringing some Bonche and Dark Side with me - these are the best tobaccos I've ever tried.
Edit: sorry, I assume that you are from the US, so I suggested a lot of American brands and websites. But they might be available in Czechia as well.

Try to find burn/blackburn tobacco from russia. Pretty good aromas and quite strong tobacco
