NickReppinThe909 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 not a fan at all of the ugly ass base that came on my nour and i am thinking about replacing it with a bohemian vase and want some opinons. the base has to be green or turquoise and these are the ones i have in mind so farnot very bohemian but its got the general shapinghttp://saharasmoke.com/store/catalog/Mediu...se-p-16180.htmlthe one im leaning towards already http://www.hookah-shisha.com/store/pc/conf...;idproduct=1237kind of like this syrian one (the one on the right)http://www.hookah-shisha.com/store/pc/conf...;idproduct=1037 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilarseny Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Looks like both of the bases from h-s that are green are out of stock, right? And since the replacement cloisonne hoses I need have been out of stock there for about half a year, don't expect that status to change anytime soon...

NickReppinThe909 Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 thats h-s for you i guess that narrows it down to 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Nick I was gonna say the one on the right in the last link from HS but yeah, sold out ... eh I know the price is up a lil more than others and shipping will be a bit more but what about the turq/blue one herehttp://shop.gothookahs.com/product.sc?cate...p;productId=336 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickReppinThe909 Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 great find matt but im not a fan of the leaf pattern, if only they had the dark blue one on the bottom right in green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickReppinThe909 Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 i love the mya boho vases but they are all screw oncan the screw on piece be removed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 i doubt it could be removed but couldn't you still pop a grommet on the stem and push it in? I'm sure it would still make a perfect seal ... no? Can anyone chime in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickReppinThe909 Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 the threaded part is too skinny for even the bare metal to fit in i already tried at my buddies yesterday with his mya base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Well the third one is basically a rip off of a mya right?I vote 1 or 2, but I personally would go with 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickReppinThe909 Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 i like 1 alot but i would like to know the height because the nour has a very short downstem and i prefer a little more room in the base for the smoke to expand (poke fun at my somewhat unfounded strategy if you will but air cools when it expands and heats when it compresses so i like more expansion room to allow for the coolest smoke possible) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 give em a call tomorrow. if it fits the specs you are lookin for, I'd go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickReppinThe909 Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 sounds like a plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 The first ones aren't Czech Bohemian, two pictures (#1, #3) of those first three aren't even European and the third one looks like that Bulgarian stuff (cheaper, lower quality). The gothookahs ones are OK, Syrain replacements. Look at real Czech ones and its lights out (Buying one at $60...guaranteed). I would lean towards the HS "Bohemian" jars which look like the Bulgarian stuff...they are cheaper than Czech glass...but if you are going for maximum aesthetic value, Czech is the first and last name.Edit: At HC, they have this jar in aquamarine, I fit them on Syrian shanks all the time....HC BohmeianThat would be a plain-Jane Bohemian jar...
