The best hookah vapes, ranked
Each card lists the specs from our product page and the flavors that sell best.
1 Al Fakher Crown Bar 60K E-Hose X
The Crown Bar 60K E-Hose X is a rechargeable Al Fakher vape with a long, clear mouthpiece that looks like a hookah hose, so many shoppers call it a hookah pen. Over the last 90 days, it has had more customers than any other hookah vape here. It also holds 50mL of 0.6% (6mg) nicotine and switches between MTL and DTL modes. Two Apple, Summer Dream and Magic Love sell best. Shop the Crown Bar 60K.
Best for: hookah fans who want a handheld with a hose feel and the most flavors to pick from.
Good to know: Its 1000mAh battery is the smallest on this list, so you’ll charge it more often.
2 Starbuzz 50K E-Hose
The Starbuzz 50K E-Hose is a rechargeable disposable that many shoppers call the Starbuzz hookah vape. Like the Crown Bar, it holds 0.6% (6mg) nicotine, but its tank is smaller at 40mL. Also, a display sits at the base. Irish Peach, Summer Dream and Gum Mint sell best. Shop the Starbuzz 50K.
Best for: fans of fruity and minty hookah flavors who want an e-hose in a bright color.
Good to know: It’s rated for fewer puffs than the Crown Bar: 50,000 against 60,000.
3 Olit HookaLit Mega 200K
The HookaLit Mega 200K is the biggest e-hookah here, with 80mL of 0.35% (3.5mg/mL) nicotine and a rating of up to 200,000 puffs. You can vape it on its own, or use it in place of the bowl on a traditional hookah, though a hookah isn’t included. It also has RGB lighting and hookah sound effects. Blue Razz Lemonade, Hawaii and Mango Freeze sell best. Shop the HookaLit Mega 200K.
Best for: hookah fans who want the most puffs, or a head for their own hookah.
Good to know: At 0.35% nicotine, it’s very light, so it may feel weak if you’re used to a 5% disposable.
4 Al Fakher Crown Bar Cloud Force Max
The Cloud Force Max is a disposable e-hookah head. You can set it on your hookah’s stem where the bowl would go, or instead fit the mouthpiece from the box and vape it on its own. It also holds 60mL of 0.5% (5mg) nicotine and has the biggest battery here, at 2200mAh. Cool Mango sells best, followed by Watermelon Kiwi, Lemon Mint and Grape Mint. Shop the Cloud Force Max.
Best for: hookah owners who want a long session without charcoal.
Good to know: When we checked, 10 of its 20 flavors were sold out, so see the product page for what’s back.
5 Olit HookaLit Pro 60K
The HookaLit Pro 60K is a handheld e-hookah with a leather finish and a shisha sound effect. It holds 30mL of 0.35% (3.5mg/mL) nicotine, while the airflow on the bottom sets an MTL or DTL draw. Strawberry Ice, Fcuking Fab and Blue Razz Lemonade sell best. Shop the HookaLit Pro 60K.
Best for: vapers who want the hookah sound and a choice of MTL or DTL.
Good to know: Its 60,000-puff rating is for MTL, while a DTL draw drops it to 35,000.
How to pick a hookah vape
First, decide how you want to use it, since these picks come in three styles:
A handheld vape, or hookah pen, styled after a hookah hose: the Crown Bar 60K E-Hose X and the Starbuzz 50K E-Hose.
An e-hookah head that sits on your own hookah where the bowl goes: the Cloud Force Max and the HookaLit Mega. You can also vape both on their own.
A compact e-hookah you hold like any vape: the HookaLit Pro 60K, with its shisha sound effect.
Next, compare the numbers side by side, taken from our product pages:
| Device | Puffs, up to | Tank | Nicotine |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crown Bar 60K E-Hose X | 60,000 | 50mL | 0.6% |
| Starbuzz 50K E-Hose | 50,000 | 40mL | 0.6% |
| HookaLit Mega 200K | 200,000 | 80mL | 0.35% |
| Cloud Force Max | 50,000 | 60mL | 0.5% |
| HookaLit Pro 60K | 60,000 (MTL) | 30mL | 0.35% |
Then, think about the draw. For example, the Crown Bar has MTL and DTL modes, and the HookaLit Pro’s airflow goes from MTL to DTL. MTL is a tighter draw that you pull into your mouth first, while DTL is more open and makes more vapor.
Finally, check the nicotine. Our picks hold 0.35% to 0.6% (3.5 to 6mg/mL), so they’re much lighter than a 5% disposable. If you want a stronger hit, though, a regular disposable is a better fit. You can also shop each brand’s full lineup: Al Fakher, Olit and Starbuzz.

Hookah vape FAQ
What is the best hookah vape?
By customers in the last 90 days, the Al Fakher Crown Bar 60K E-Hose X is the best hookah vape at our store, while the Starbuzz 50K E-Hose comes second.
What is an e-hookah?
An e-hookah is a vape made for hookah fans. Ours pair hookah flavors with 0.35% to 0.6% nicotine and need no coals. Some, like the Crown Bar, look like a hookah pen, while others, like the Cloud Force Max, sit on top of a real hookah.
Is a Crown Bar a vape or a hookah?
The Crown Bar is a disposable vape. Its long, clear mouthpiece looks like a hookah hose, so many shoppers call it a hookah pen. However, it doesn’t need a hookah, coals or a bowl.
Do hookah vapes have nicotine?
Yes. Our picks hold 0.35% to 0.6% nicotine (3.5 to 6mg/mL), which is much less than a 5% disposable. Nicotine is addictive, though.
Can I use a hookah vape on my hookah?
Two picks can. The Cloud Force Max sits on your hookah’s stem where the bowl would go, and the HookaLit Mega can replace the bowl. However, neither one comes with a hookah.
How do I turn off the sound on the HookaLit Pro?
Double-tap the button to turn the shisha sound effect on or off.
How long does a hookah vape last?
It depends on how you vape. Makers rate our picks for 50,000 to 200,000 puffs, but long draws and DTL use e-liquid faster. When the taste turns weak or burnt, it’s done. Since it has a lithium-ion battery, the EPA says it shouldn’t go in household trash or recycling bins, so take it to a battery drop-off.
