To add on to this, the big source of smell with the Pax is the device itself and of course the herb; specifically getting it on your fingers as you load it. Don't forget to do a really great job of washing your hands after loading it and perhaps think of getting a smell proof case for it like this one. Personally I prefer these hard cases over the soft ones as they can be more thoroughly cleaned and hence remain smell free in the long term and also won't allow the bottom of the pax to pop open and spill your herb everywhere.
You can buy a smell proof sealed container for half the cost of the weed you just picked up, you can buy it right off Amazon. Honestly I hope this is a joke but damn man, of all fucking places, why somewhere that leads directly to your engine? Back trunk, underneath the spare tire, even behind a strut tower in the engine bay....

The thing is, are those things really at all healthier? The shisha I smoke doesn't come out burned, most of it is "baked" or vaporized = very little to no tar going into your lungs. I'd argue that the majority of the negative health effects from hookah come from inhaling whatever toxins and carcinogens which are realeased from the burning coal.
So aside from the addictive properties of tobacco, I can't imagine those rocks are any healtier since you're still inhaling burning coal.
I think if you want to make hookah healthier, replacing the coal as a heat source is where the technology should be evolving, rather than what's inside the bowl. Right now you can buy an "electric coal", but apperently it's a piece of shit. But I love the idea, it definately has potential if improved upon. Eg. some kind of drag sensor which determines when you're pulling and then it heats up like a normal coal would, or a manual heat control dial where you can quickly add more heat or less. If something like that heated just like a real coal, damn that would be revolutionary.
I’ve had my solo for over 4 years and just never got around to buying one.. always something more important on the list I guess.. then I wanted to get a bong adapter for my pax.. but at minimum it was $30 plus shipping.. then I found this.. all in 1 package is the water pipe for my solo (with adapter) and also a adapter for a pax and for less than $30!!
This thing is dope!! I highly recommend you get one!

For 5$ more you could get a MYA QT which is a decent starter hookah, change the hose to a washable one and you’ll be good till you can upgrade to something pricier.

This is a copy and paste for a guide I'm working on, but hopefully it'll help. Check out CocoUrth coals! If you don't want to read the massive amount of text below, then trust me and just go with a Shika hookah. Lifetime warranty on them :)

Hello! This is my guide on what to look for while buying a hookah. While it'll be inherently subjective, I'll be doing my best to make it as objective as possible. The last guide (in sidebar) on Hookah By Price contained a lot of information I wanted to get out, but is too much trouble for me to try keeping it up to date. So instead of telling you what hookah I recommend, I want to go more in depth into what you look for when you're buying a hookah.
The Smoke is Not Dependent on the Hookah
The Material
Price Range
The majority of their hookahs are completely made with brass and copper - unlike many other "brass/copper" hookahs, which are just shelled with brass and copper. Shika hookahs also often come with thick glass bases and washable hoses. Shika's are hand welded and engraved. While that almost always indicates a high level of craftsmanship, there are imperfections on occasion. Furthermore, Shika has a good reputation for great customer service when imperfections are found.

Skywin Smell Proof Hard Plastic Case for PAX 3 and PAX 2 - No Smell Odor Resistant Pocket Carry Case https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0766M9SVY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_7NhIAbRXCW0FW
Found it!
Good question.
I bought a locally made hookah (DC area- base with stem) from my go-to hookah shop. Had a dremel handy so with a few modification, the fit is nice and snuggly. I had to cut the downstem to make it shorter and after making the neck smaller using the dremel, I ended up using electrical tape instead of a grommet and it suprising works great.
If you are unable to find a stem that you can modify, you can create a downstem by using refrigeration copper coil and sealing it by putting epoxy on the cap.
You will also have to make a hole for in the glass using a diamond dust drill bit for the hose. You can find all of the parts from Home Depot. You may need to create another hole for a clear valve and buy one of those parts for glass hookahs to serve as a clearing mechanism. I did that a few years ago with a grey-goose bottle and everyone loved it. However, it was short-lived due to the extensive setup and breakdown time lol
That hookah idea was was inspired off of this article but I didn't like some of the parts used.
Hope this gives you some ideas.

When I first got it the built quality didn't seem that great since I've been using otterbox/pelican cases for a while, but I'll be damned it lives up to the smell proof claims. I can fit the charger, at least 1.5g's of ground bud(the container they gave was a flip top cap and leaked a bit smell, I replaced it with a screw top container that I got from an acrylic paint set that holds the smell in more)

I've never used it myself, but: turn any bottle into a hookah. http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Bottle-Hookah-Stem-Kit/dp/B00MYGNDF2
Got this for my Pax3. Should be long enough for the GH. Absolutely no smell comes from it.

I have this one and I really like it.
Hi, when I got my Pax 3 I ordered a case off Amazon and can't recommend it enough. Here is the link:
https://www.amazon.com/CLOUD-TEN-Pax-Custom-Case/dp/B01N8YGKCU/ref=sr_1_5_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1521681283&sr=8-5&keywords=pax+3+case+smell+proof
It is completely smell proof, it protects your pax in a hard case and foam liner, and it comes with a pill bottle so you can have some ground up herb ready to go. I also keep the pax multitool in the case and it all fits no problem. Perfect for taking it on the go. Just toss it in a backpack and have no worries.

This is what u need good quality, pretty good looking but idk if it has the ball thingy so u don't have to use ur finger, try to call south smoke and ask them.
On other hand u can always buy hose adapter to split 1 into 2 hoses
I like to consider myself a Hookah enthusiast at this point, I love the gadgets that improve my experience, and I'll list you a few. I'd also like to point out that I get my supplies from two places:
www.amazon.com
www.hookah-shisha.com
If you haven't invested yet, there are some things that are basically a bare minimum in the hookah world(my opinion).. Coconut coals (I always recommend Coco nara, but Never X hale worked pretty well also. I've had some other ones that were.. well, bad... Avoid anything with paint on the outside, splurge and just get the coco nara.)
http://www.amazon.com/Hookah-Shisha-Natural-Charcoals-Pieces/dp/B001B38GG0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453620347&sr=8-1&keywords=coco+nara
It's also worth noting that The Mystique ice tips are probably the #1 largest improvement for your hookah-smoking experience. I'd recommend getting them off of amazon, if you smoke hookah for over 2 hours at a time, it's probably worth getting 3 of them:
http://www.amazon.com/Mystique-Ice-Hose-Chiller-Hookah/dp/B00BU925GC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453620325&sr=8-1&keywords=mystique+ice+tip
You'll also need a hose that can fit the Mystique tips. I repeatedly have been satisfied with Nammor hookah hoses, but never really bothered to look for another hose that can house a Mystique tip.
In my experience, the hookah doesn't really matter too much, the key thing is usually the ash tray, the basin hole size (cleaning), and optionally, if you pass it a lot, swivel bases.
The hookah I've been using for the last year has been very good to me, the only real downside is cleaning it is a pain. See here:
https://www.hookah-shisha.com/p-127-comet-one-hose-hookah.html
My favorite Tobacco has been for quite some time, Starbuzz, I also like Fantasia, I enjoyed Tangiers, but the majority of my friends don't, and you are pretty likely to get sick off of it if you're smoking with less than 3 people. You probably will anyways. These I'll pick up at local retailers, or hookah-shisha, my previous experience on Amazon has been pretty bad with tobacco quality, unfortunately.
I've been very satisfied with my (two) lotuses. I got an extra one for free thanks to Amazons carrier, I called them and they sent me an extra one, two days later a neighbor delivered my package saying it was left at their door.
Sorry if I rambled here, it's my first post and I wanted to (hopefully) be regarded as helpful. Best of luck!
http://www.amazon.com/Ren-Headstream-RY0811-Electronic-Charcoal/dp/B005TQC6S4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1348191283&sr=8-1&keywords=electric+hookah
From what I've seen online and in youtube video's its not worth the cost or trouble and tends to break quickly.
While what others have said is true, I would recommend getting a Mya QT instead of the one you linked. I've used one similar to the one you linked and personally I don't like them. The QT however is probly the best tiny hookah I've used, especially for the price. Not quite as nice as a full size KM IMO but a great experience, and the build quality is way better and less prone to rust than the one you linked.
here is everything you need (WPA for the solo included):

And you can order it for a cheaper price elsewhere
I've got a kaloud lotus on this phunnel bowl with this hookah and use Coco Nara coals...
Couple questions: what is the best brand of shisha to use with this setup? I've used starbuzz, currently own some al-fahker but havent smoked it yet, and have been smoking lately Fantasia Peach Fuzzy Navel because I really like the flavor - about 20 grams I would guess per bowl. I suspect possibly other brands / amounts of shisha might work better for this reason or that, I just don't know because I havent tried. Not 100% sure how packed I should be having my bowls.
With the Lotus, I see people saying to use 3 coco nara coals in it, but theres no way I think I can get those all to fit in there at once, ESPECIALLY not when their lit and hot?? So I normally cut one coal in half, and use 2 halves + 1 full coal... I don't know if this is normal or detrimental at all for the sesh. How even do you fit 3 coco nara's in there :O
Also in regards to the Lotus, does closed vents = more heat with it being contained and open vents = less heat since its escaping? Or is it, open vents = more heat because the coals are getting more oxygen? Never was really clear on this, which in turn has made me be unsure during seshes whether or not to open or close vents at times.
Is there a way to get the ash out of the lotus easily during a sesh when you switch up to fresh coals? or do you just leave it in there and push it out of the ways with fresh coals until you the sesh is over and its cooled off?
I sometimes find myself moving the coals around in the lotus because it hits kinda harsh sometimes, but I was under the impression that with the lotus you ought to be able to entirely control that with the vents, which makes me think I'm doing something a little bit wrong.
Sorry this is a really loaded comment, I just am still relatively inexperienced with hookah and want to make my seshes as efficient and pleasurable as i can lol. Might have more questions later Ill ask lol. Thanks y'all :)
Plastic can be ok. Go to a headshop and get a glass slide and bowl or check amazon even. Here...
4" Silicone Downstem Stem 14mm Female to 18mm Male (Light Green) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078L1ZD6G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_bpm1CbM8S1NJ3
Get one of those, or a glass one if you prefer although it'll be less flexible with making a good seal.
They also have multi packs of glass bowls for like $5.
Or even better
Top Puff Portable Water Hookah Screw On Bottle Converter On The Go 5 Assorted Colors Glass Down Stem https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PMJ8HVR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Dwm1CbMAYB9V3
It looks like it would function well, but like everyone else said, probably not safe to smoke much out of.
Ill even ship you a cheap downstem/bowl if you need. Or even a little bong if its cheap enough.
This, I think amazon sells them.
Edit: yep they do... https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Hookah-Bottle-Converter-Assorted/dp/B07PMJ8HVR/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=bottle+bong&qid=1564339177&s=gateway&sr=8-1
Comes with 5 of those suckers so you could use one before going in Canada and toss it and you’ll still have 4 of those.
Hey, I’ve seen Sneaky Pete demo this in one of his vids and thought it’d be perfect. I don’t want to carry around a “small” bubbler with me, but this glass is actually doable to carry around.

gorgeous is right.
These will do you well.
Just make one yourself.
Here is the link on Amazon for the kit and go to your local bar/pub and ask for them to hold back a particular empty bottle of whatever alcohol you want.
Puffitup has a nice offering: https://www.puffitup.com/The-Scope-14mm-H2O-Mouthpiece-p/qctq.14mm-f_bubb-bla.htm

Unfortunately looking at my other post, I had to break it with Hydro Herbel Blue Viper (which tastes awesome) but not as good as real tobacco.
Sure this is my favorite I've tried they have like a dozen flavored.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002513M48/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?qid=1410904462&sr=8-6&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
I bought the Vape North bubble straw three months ago and ended up giving it away. I personally found it too top heavy and ungainly, making the Solo 2 unstable when you put it down. I found it a PITA to store and the fit of the straw seemed a bit wobbly in the vape, IMO. I can't really see the H-20 being a lot different.
We did have a lot more success cooling the vapour from the Solo 2 with this: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0797NWYNY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (first vape related product I ever bought from Amazon!). This seemed a LOT more stable and balanced on the Solo..does a great job, too. Just my two cents worth. Happy vaping, frent (fellow Canuck here)!
this is my go too bowl and what I've been using forever. I've never tried silicone before but I've heard they are good. Never heard of powerbowl so I can't really comment.
I have a similar one that I purchased from Amazon here. Took a little bit to get here, but it’s cheap and also comes with a 14mm WPA for the Solo/Air and Pax. Glass seems to be sturdy and good quality, I’ve tipped it over a couple of times already, no cracks. Hope this helps!
If youre doing it for the fun of the project, then this wont help much but they sell stems made to fit into bottles.
Aside from the ArtHookah website, sadly its out of stock, I'd say get the glass air purge valve they used on the previous models or similar ones. Like: http://www.amazon.com/Hookah-Purge-Valve-Hitter-Evolution/dp/B00NQAAC54?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0
Good idea, I like the way they look.
EDIT: So it can be found for $30 on amazon

...or buy one of these! www.amazon.com/dp/B073W95VJP/
I bought this on Amazon for $20. Took a month to get to me, but I can use my Solo 2 through the hydratube, or any 14mm female piece, and it's been a really nice upgrade.
If you have any vape or glass dropper bottles, you can also use the top rubber part that you squeeze. If you remove it, it fits over any Arizer stem, and you can cut a hole out to use it as a water pipe adapter.
It's a great case. I use it solely for my juices.
For my mods and other gear I use the Casematix. It was the first one I bought before I came across the kbag. But I'm thinking of getting another kbag just for my gear because the Casematix is kind of bulky.
This air tight box is perfect. Fits my grinder, DynaStash, quad torch, and a large medicine bottle of green. Wife appreciates the odor control, too.
