Hobbs Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Cloisonné, an ancient metalworking technique, is a multi-step enamel process used to produce jewelry, vases, and other decorative items.

It looks real cool and fancy. Cloissone, i think, is enamel separated by metal. I like my hookah a lot, its a 4 hoser that's exactly like the one you are looking at, just shorter.(here's a picture of when it was only a little one hose hookah) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antouwan Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 "So... My Wife Wants A Collossus."...i'm sure she does...sorry, no offense, it was just right there calling my name.but smeariously, the collossus is a good pipe i'm sure, but PERSONALLY i think they're a little too big to manage. i don't know the context to when you'll be using it, for parties or other big drawn out events, but for a solo smoke, personally, i think it would suck. I'm sure you have plenty other pipes for those occaisons though - if the cash is burning/will be burning a hole in you guys' wallets, then go for it - and feel good when you buy it, think of it as stimulating the economy.

ilikemyusername Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 I disagree, i like the thick colossus base with the multi layered glass diamond etched designs over a pyramid shaped thin painted vase.plus, I'm probably not going to have it be the full 40 inches all the time, I'll probably leave one of the stem sections off.

EvansLight Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Apparently another bit of knowledge that was lost with time, was the easy fix for Mya purge problems. A bendy straw. One end in the end of the purge valve, the other down closer to the water level. Works every time And it is a damn good hookah, great draw and a very slexy one to look at.
