OneGreenMonstah Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Hey everyone I am new to the HF however have been smoking hookah for a couple years now with my hookah. I feel it is about time to upgrade/a new customization. I was curious what all of your thoughts are on the different stems available and have narrowed my search down to these three stems... 22" 1 Hose Persian Stem... 2 Hose Large Stainless Steel Stem... 2 Hose Large Sahara Stem... Let me know what your thoughts are between the three, if you have any other suggestions or if you have personally smoked or heard good/bad reviews on the different stems! Thanks a lot and I'm pretty pumped about finally posting!! -GreenMonstah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColibriDon Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 The first one, the 22" 1 hose Persian, is beautiful. Reminds me of a Nour with the exception of the hose port and purge valve. Pretty good choices but I'd go for the Persian. Good luck making a decision, you have good taste. And Welcome to the Forums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvtaco17 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I have the 22" Persian and it is a decent stem, HOWEVER for almost that amount you could get a MZ safari, Mya QT, Bambino, ect... food for thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indian_villager Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I agree with Don. The Persian does look a lot cleaner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickReppinThe909 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 go with an mzif those are all sahara or build a hookah stems they will rust out way to quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvtaco17 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) Persian will not rust it is brass and aluminum! lol I'd still look at maybe another whole pipe, but I gotta defend what I own! Edited December 16, 2008 by kvtaco17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickReppinThe909 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 sounds like a knock off nour, but if it smokes good and lasts who cares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvtaco17 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 It does smoke well... I shall take pics tonight if need be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickReppinThe909 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 just out of curiosity i would love to see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneGreenMonstah Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 ya if you dont mind throw those pics up here! ...I've been smoking my Stainless Steel Stem for a couple years now and have never had any rust or anything wrong with it I guess what I am saying is what makes some stems better than other stems? What would be the highest quality stem on the market? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippo_Master Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 None of those have any brass parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 QUOTE (Hippo_Master @ Dec 16 2008, 04:11 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>None of those have any brass parts.The brass is usually the core of the stem. They are then chromed over so yu won't see any brass showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneGreenMonstah Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 Makes sense. This maybe an elementary question but what stems do have brass parts? and is there anyway to buy just the stem? I'm looking for a solid color stem, simple and clean looking! Thanks this has been huge help already!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 and you're right, th efirst one looks like a Nour. I have a Nour Chiller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks this has been huge help already!!for a solid, longer lasting hookah go with ones with screw in ports like the first one. no welds to break.

OneGreenMonstah Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 ya true... plus i can unscrew all the parts to keep it cleaner and rid of any rust quickly... BUT do you know of any stems that are made up of a brass interior as well as unscrewable parts? Do they make them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Ninja Robot Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I believe most, if not all Myas are brass core, my QT is chromed over brass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 The first and third are likely brass core with screw on ports. The middle one is the welded type.All Myas except the Economya are brass core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneGreenMonstah Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 i know right... could always invest in the crushed ice chamber, but will probably just go old school and throw ice in the vase... it looks like a nice vase and i guess you cant go wrong with Mya overall so hell I start saving my coin for this beauty and if/when I get my new hookah i'll throw up some flix for sure!!! I appreciate everyones help on HF and hope I can be of help in the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 just because it has syrian styling doesn't mean its brass...there are many stainless steel hookahs with that styling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Um, what happened to the Myas with the aluminum tubes in the main body? I think that disqualifies them as brass core.I think that first one is Syrian, not Persian. All the Persian hookahs I've seen (admittedly not more than a dozen) have all been involving wood, wood & brass, wood & steel, etc.The third one is Syrian, the second one could be Egyptian.
