Zinite Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Hey guys, At my friends house last night, he pulled a hookah out of his closet that he said had been there for 6 months. Apparently some other person left it there after a party and then moved out of town without getting it. I of course offered to take it off his hands for $30. All of my hookahs are modern, so I'm not sure what I got here. I was hoping you guys could tell me what I have and the best way to polish the metal out a bit. The bowl came with, which I'm aware is a medium phunnel. It has char marks all over the side pics attached Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Ninja Robot Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 (edited) NICE buy man! You gotta let us know how it smokes! It looks to me like a small MZ (maybe a slightly older model), and that black residue on the edges of the bowl is normal and can be scrubbed off. What is over the hole of the phunnel though? Looks gross pic of MZ - your stem looks slightly different but is shaped the exact samehttp://www.socialsmoke.com/item--Gemini-Ma...okah--EG01.htmledit - Waaaaaiiiiit a second....is that a glass scalli mod over the phunnel hole? Dude you really scored on this one Lucky! Edited August 24, 2008 by giant ninja robot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude you really scored on this one Lucky!Yeah it's a glass scali. Glad to hear I made a good business decision There was also a Smiley's bowl that came with it but it looked like tobacco had been left in there for the whole 6 months it was stored, so I'm boiling it to clean it.

SimplexCoda Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 im more on the nile side on this one. also the phunnel can be cleaned with something like Bling from HS or maybe even a little steel wool, but im not sure if that will sratch it or not. I highly suggest cleaning it well before using it. Nice buy though man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gift3d Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 (edited) That black stuff gets on my bowl all the time, i usually have to clean it after every 2-3 bowls otherwise it starts tasting nasty. I don't know if those phunnels are glazed or not, but my egyptian is glazed and standard brillo/steel brush gets the job done without scratching it.Nice deal though, that looks like the first hookah i ever smoked out of but it was gold. Enjoy Edited August 24, 2008 by Gift3d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattathayde Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 just take the scotch bright side of a sponge to it and it will come off fine, may need to heat it up some if its been like that for a while-matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
