detroitmak Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Hey folks... its another one of these threads... can you identify this hookah for me, its all brass... im thinking of buying it tomorrow... what do you think... its $60 out the door[attachment=4340:brass_hookah.jpg] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coplinb Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Is it heavy? It looks like it's cheap to me, and the base looks like its very thin. It might be a good hookah, but for 60 locally, I think you could do better. And the purge looks like its not great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Looks like the type of hookah the guy uses at my local lounge next door to my apts... I asked him what brand they are, and all he can tell me is "Commercial Egyptian." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUBBS Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 FAKE!!! I can tell you right now. The stem looks like aluminum or sum thin light metal. The jar is never before seen and looks VERY thin. If you really really want it, get it, but it nothin special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really really want it, get it, but it nothin special.Nori has one of these jars its pretty cool except you have to fill the water level WAAY up. So no its not never before seen and you cant tell what the stem is made out of by looking at it. Thats just common sense.Now back on topic. If its heavy chances are it is made from brass. The ports look good but check how big they are on the under side of the heart. Oh and for 60 id buy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikemyusername Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I say its worth 60 but would be better if the downstem was longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 downstem can be extended by using clear rubber tubing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Ninja Robot Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 that dude who runs that place is really nice and knows a decent ammount although he's not the best at brand recognition, he kept trying to sell me on havana hookahs. you can tell he's trying to butter you up for a deal which is kinda irritating but at least he's cool and will talk to ya about our hobby. he has a mya acrylic for 60 I want to pick up for christmas.also he only charges 16 bucks a 250 for SB, 2 bucks cheaper than anywhere else out here.If it's heavy, buy the thing dude, good price, sweet vase. I saw it there, but it's just not quite my style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newjacksm Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Isn't that the Syrian that Eric was talking about a couple months ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippo_Master Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Haha, egyptian? nah. That's most definitely Syrian.That metal is brass, only it is one of those very lightweight hollow stems, Al Nawras has a bunch like that, I don't really like how light they feel.
