ZenSilk Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Social Smoke, by "Solid Brass" do you mean that the stems are not hollow, but thick chunks of brass that are carved with a tube down the middle? Like....Not this: ("I" as the brass core stem that leads all the way down, "I" as in the walls of the shaft) l I ll I ll I ll I ll I l l I l But this: ( 2 "I"'s just represent the core stem as above) llIll lllIIlll lllIIlll lllIIlll lllIIlll llIll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shisha fan Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 i like the gold one with the ice reservoir. do they actually smoke good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Ice Reservoirs are pointless, and your paying like 10 bucks just for it to be on there. Ice in the base works BETTER, and it's easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oolatec Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Should have my White Marble on Thursday. Pics and initial overall impression forthcoming soon after arrival. Won't be able to smoke until the weekend, and want to use it a bit before I write a more complete review (in the reviews section of course)...And a vendor experience review will be posted as well... but so far pre-delivery, SS has been great. Ali was very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZenSilk Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Hmmm.... Could you also, in your review, tap the shaft lightly with a screwdrriver and tell me if it's hollow or not? Or maybe judge by the weight or look. I cannot tell from pictures if the shaft is solid or hollow, probably hollow i'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechAnt Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 (edited) What exactly is it meant by hollow and solid stems? Is a solid on where they literally take a solid brass rod and drilled a hole in it and then carved it out some more and hollow where they make segments and then weld them together?

ZenSilk Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Yes, that's how i see it. See, when i see "Hand Cut Hand Carved Brass" i see this guy drilling a hole in the middle and carving out the brass to make a gorgeous stem. If it's not the above description, i think "Machine Made" or atleast welded together, therefore being lighter. I don;t know about anyone else, but i love Heavy thick brass stems more than anything.

oolatec Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Well, guess what I just opened... Holy CRAP this thing is nice! I will post pictures real soon.

Put my university T1 to good use!Here are a few. Had to use the old camera with batteries that last only a few shots each. I have to get the newer camera back from the folks one of these days.Ready... set... go... Note: I did not take a pic from the top down with the bowl off... the hole looks bored and a bit off center at least at the very top. Possibly a clue that the stem is solid brass with a hole cut through the middle. It's solid as heck, and the marble is gorgeous! The ashtray is actually plenty big, and it has a lip too. The bowl came with a few chips, but I am expecting my phunnel in the mail this weekend anyway. Won't be able to smoke it for at least another day or two. Argh!!!P.S. Thanks for the great service, and incredible hookah, Ali and Social Smoke!!! Edited October 18, 2007 by oolatec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Yes, i agree, that marble tray is juts sexy. So it's pretty solid?? Would you say, a Tank, or a Hummer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaara Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Looks beautiful but wondering if it smokes as good as it looks. How tall is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Umm, does that say made in Syria on the stem? Or made in Chin-a. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaara... no leaks from my initial check... won't be able to smoke until this weekend, so the verdict is still out... but no nasty tastes with an initial inhale etc. I'll have to get back to you all on how it smokes. 31" tall.Zen... don't worry... it's a Made in Syria sticker. Just haven't taken it off yet... lolMaybe the sticker is made in China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
