Syrian Hookah

[SafeSearchOff]

I found this syrian hookah on jandrhookahs.com/bluesyrianhookah-p-49.html . it llooks pretty solid to me, solid brass core. i emailed them to ask about it and they also informed me its fully able to dismantle into 3 stem pieces, an unsrewable downstem, and a few other pieces.  i think it looks pretty nice  was thinking about buying it a way down the road if i could work up the money.

what all you guys think?

[lilbrownindian]

seems a bit expensive to me personally, would you rather get a mya?

[SafeSearchOff]

yeah myas are pretty high quality but its not every day that I find a solid brass core hookah. the only ones i can think of are the Khalil Mamouns, Al Fakher, and this one.

Seems a bit too expensive for a one-hoser. Other than that, it looks pretty nice. Edited August 2, 2007 by Big Boss

ohhh, well i personally would go with a Khalil Mamoun then, i dont know if they come apart. my mya bohemian comes apart into many pieces

[SafeSearchOff]

well yeah all myas come apart quite nicely, but ot my understanding, the shaft itself unscrews into 3 pieces, the parts that look like teardrops. if the hose ports are able to be dismantled as well, i wonder if you could get a 2 hoser option on that pup...

oh wow, thats quite thorough. well word is the syrian breaks down exactly liek that, just where your grooved part of the shaft that split into two is, that part breaks into 3 on the hookah.

ill help you look around in a few mins after i setup my hookah

[ioannisds]

That is WAY too expensive for a single-hose hookah, brass core or no. Especially when you can get a KM for about half (or less). I just can't see spending that kind of money (don't forget shipping) on a hookah unless there is something EXCEPTIONAL about it.

[PerznPerversion]

that looks like the same stem as from nazarhookah and hooka shisha or w/e

u can get them for alot cheaper from nazar.

hit him up

i reckon get the syrian brass pipe. its looks like a cast brass pipe which wld stand up to a beating alot more than a KM. Km's dun break into sections aswell, which can be a pain to bring ard. easier cleaning as well. i really dun like mya stems cause it seems to look like they gave u a pretty outer stem to cover the ugly inner tube. only thing is mya's customer service is pretty awesome. a large KM u can't go wrong but the best pipe i've ever had was a 20inch syrian.

turns out the price listing was wrong. its been lowered to 115 for the 1 hose ver, 140 is for the 4 hoser.

[Sonthert]

Yeah, that is the Syrian I've been pumping. It looks like the same manufacturer that used to sell to Nour, who is now out of business. Good quality stuff.

No, the glyph's stem doesn't come apart.. Doesn't bother me, as it's my stay-at-home hookah, and cleans out super easy..

[Sonthert]

The engineer looks like a common chamber, which can't be cleaned out, anyhow, and will eventually make the pipe unsmokable. Why is being disassembled important? It makes no difference. It adds more threads to get stripped, more pieces to be damaged or lost, but how does it really improve anything? Nobody's hookahs smoke better than mine and they are all a mish-mash, but they are all one piece brass (a couple of steel ones) pipes.

[SafeSearchOff]

well disassembly is just a ncie convenience for transportation and ease of storage.
mainly the hookah just looks appealing o nthe statement of its brass core...

[Sonthert]

3 pieces:

1. Shank
2. Jar
3. Head/hose.


Whats the problem?

[markchan]

wats a common chamber?

[SafeSearchOff]

its an "open heart" on the shank where the smoke collects. you know the part where the downstem starts? where that comes out of the shank there should be small drilled holes that connect to your hose plug and lets smoke go to you when you draw on the hose. open hearts make that hole so large its just one large chamber for smoke to be pulled through.
if you have a mya (i know the QT has them, dont know about the other models), look at where the downstem comes out. then look at an egyptian or syrian you have.

[Scoop]

the myas ive seen pretty much all have the common chamber. im like nancy reagan in this bitch, just say no!
