Medium-sized Shishas

Medium shishas: the balance between size, practicality and design

If you're not sure which size shisha to buy, a medium shisha is probably one of the most versatile places to start. It offers a good balance between stability, portability and presence without taking up as much space as a large shisha.

Small shishas are particularly useful when portability is the priority, while medium-sized shishas are practical enough for regular use at home while still being relatively easy to take with you when needed. There's also a huge variety available in this size, from modern stainless steel shishas to traditional designs, models with adjustable purge systems and shishas offering very different draw characteristics.

Why choose a medium-sized shisha?

Size alone doesn't determine how a shisha performs. The draw, chamber design, internal diameter, diffuser and purge system have a much greater influence on how each model feels to use. That's why you'll find medium shishas with a very open draw alongside others with a more traditional or restrictive feel.

That's part of what makes a medium shisha so versatile: you can choose from a wide range of brands, materials and systems without necessarily going to either extreme in terms of size. It's a particularly sensible choice for a first shisha, but remains just as useful if you already have several models in your collection.
