seefoodlover Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I've been curious about what people like better in a hookah, a base that has been hand painted, with patterns and other stuff, or tinted or clear glass base? My hookah is painted red with black chainlink pattern, what about yours??? And does anybody have a gold colored stem??? I like the way it looks but I can't find alot of hookahs that have this feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I fond the pain eventually flakes off....stained or acid etched is my preference.www.myasaray.com has gold coloured stemed hookahs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy1966 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 My 1st base for my Eygptian Hookah, the paint chipped off as Uncle Mushrat said. I have had my new one for about 3 months now and it is holding up so far. I really like the clear glass with the etched gold...hopefully my next Hookah.

wisp Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 I like the bases where the glass itself is colored because they seem more durable. Mine is green glass with designs cut into it.My hookah also has a gold stem, but since somebody personally bought it and shipped it to me, I can't really be of much help as to how you'd get one. ...befriend a soldier deployed to the Middle East?

mihkel Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I have a clear glass vase and i thought if I could paint it somehow. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions? yeah try if you paint it...acrylic will not have a shiny look and will flake alot more easily, oil paint will take a long time to dry, but will look good...never tried it before though.the paint on all the ones i have owned eventually flake off...i like the dark tinted glass with a simple painted design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna see my smoke damn it Makes sense So the paint will eventually come off anyway. I carry it along with me quite often so the paint would become scratchy fast.Ok, so I wont bother myself with painting it, unless something happens to it and I'd have to buy a new one, something colored this time.

camelflage Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 the paint on my KM base came off after a short while, but its fine cause i prefer the clear base anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Yeah, paint comes off, and i heard that acid stained bases are thinner? Tint doesn't have as big of a color variation or number of design possibilites as painted glass, but the tint will atleast always be there.
