Cachimba Quasar Arguile Lounge Edition Cachimba PurjFam Cachimba Hoob Navi - Negra Set Kaloud Krysalis Calix con Lotus III

Four shishas that look nothing like a classic stem. The Quasar Arguile Lounge Edition (42 cm) is an aluminium body with a glass vase. The PurjFam (13 cm, 0.8 kg) is a stemless pod with an adjustable chamber. The Hoob Navi (26 cm, 1.5 kg) locks onto a wide-neck base with magnets, takes two hoses and comes with LED lights. The Kaloud Krysalis Calix (26.9 cm, 6 kg) is a complete set with the Lotus III heat management device.

Bowls: Quasar Raas 2 on the Arguile, universal on the PurjFam and Navi, the Krysalis adapter on the Kaloud.

Side by side. A dash means the maker does not state it.
