It all looks to be of good quality either way, not a bunch of imperfections in the paint job or bubbles in the glass. There's tons of bohos out there without stickers. I think it's real.

Floataround Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I might actually bite on those tongs for my Awlad brass. I really want some hammer tongs, but they match. If someone finds a solid brass colored windcover, post it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brass color matches my brass Al Nawras really well. The locking mechanism tends to come down and prevent them from opening fully sometimes, but as long as you hold it back while you're using them, it's no worries. http://ultimatehookah.com/Syrian-Bird-Hookah-Tongs-SBT.htm I just got this Tangiers-sized gold windcover from Travis on here: http://ultimatehookah.com/Tangiers-Sized-Wind-Cover-Gold-TSWG.htm It's out of stock, so may wanna shoot Neiman an email or a PM on here asking when they'd be back in stock. Here's the shorter version of it on Hookahcompany however if you don't own any/don't plan on getting any phunnel bowls: http://www.hookahcompany.com/medium_egyptian_wind_cover_4119_prd1.htm Very rarely have I seen the Tangiers-sized windcovers on eBay. I'd say try to get a big one just in case, so you know it'll fit all of your bowls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floataround Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Oh wow, nice! I had looked at the bird tongs before, but I could not tell what color they are. I would need the XL windcover because I use either a small phunnel or an alien mini, and a standard Egyptian for Nak. Thanks for the links !

Chreees Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 No problem, man! Definitely go for the bird tongs I linked you to- very sturdy, probably more so than the eBay ones. The windcover I'd wait on until it's back in stock on Ultimate or see if its available on another site (I honestly didn't check all of them).

joelhookah Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 My ex had the bird tongs and they worked fine. TBH I am a fan of the cheap ass tongs personally. I want the all brass hammer tongs, I have found some (at least partially) brass hammer tongs, but the tong part was a silver color and it was from a european website.

Chreees Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I have the silver hammer tongs, thanks to MichaelLCP. They're really nice, but lack a bit in the grip department. Best gripping tongs I've used thus far are the jumbo tongs or the bird tongs. I'm no fan of the cheap "alligator" tongs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelhookah Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I have never had any grip problems with the cheap alligators. Fancy Myas are garbage, birds are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floataround Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Yea the Mya tongs LOOK nice..but are awful IMO. I am gonna probably just wait until I can order the bird tongs and the windcover together. I SHOULD have just ordered an oxidized from Mahir when I got my Farida...oh well next time.
