[/quote] i would totally spend $20 on that, however, HC wont ship to canada. [/quote] i can have them ship it to me if you'd like ... will only cost a few bucks because its small to ship it to me. Then I can send it with your shisha imma pick you up in a week or two if you'd like.

But, it sounds like mattarios has a better idea. [/quote] yeah only because I am already gonna be shipping him stuff.

bolt in blue Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 That thing is a beauty. Doesn't hurt that it's being shot by a pro either Definitely get us some smoking pics when you break it in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cheng Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Nice pipe, but im not a fan of female stems Im also keen to see the smoke report Have fun with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename067 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I will gladly volunteer to be the first member to test this lovely stem [img]http://www.hookahforum.com/public/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif[/img] Love the detail on that stem man, all we need now is some smoking pics [img]http://www.hookahforum.com/public/style_emoticons/default/_sheesha2__by_Majunka_aurore.gif[/img] [b]Fun fact:[/b] The name "Elmas" means "Diamond" in Arabic. The more proper way of saying it is Almas, but still, I think that's what they were aiming for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) Heh its funny, Elma (no S) means Apple in Turkish--as in DA. But the plural is Elmalar, so the Arabic Almaz makes lots of sense... Also funny, in the pics posted, it seems to have been wrapped up in a Persian language newspaper...bizarre, given they're in İzmir Edited January 9, 2010 by Hassouni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majid Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Very nice pipe buddy, enjoy it. They smoke well, the bowl is a little big for my taste, holds like 25 grams if filled but it works well and you can smoke for a long time. I was lucky enough to get three stems like that recently, one with the papaver ash tray. Didn't get a chance to make pics yet. By the way a strip of wet paper towl, wrap around the male end of the bowl and twist it in. After it dries it will sit there, perfect seal and you'll never need a grommet again. You will need a hose grommet though, the paper towel doesn't seem to work perfectly for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 1. Hookah Company sells Mya male bowls. 2. Hookah Company also has some Tangiers Male-Female adapters, so you could use a standard bowl on that hookah. 3. The hose port looks unsoldered on the top piece. I've seen some of those in Syrians...I don't know if I trust that. I would hit it with some solder on the top side. 4. Heavy castings. Looks good.

Only problem is you have to replace the cloth every now and then, so a grommet is a little more convenient. Congratz on the pipe though. I've smoked from a similar one at a shisha bar around here and it's a solid argileh. It has a very easy pull and decent smoke (the smoke could definately have been better, but I blame that on the shisha bar, not the argileh). It's also very sexy imo. So yea, congratz man.

[/quote] i was a little concerned about that in the beginning as well so i did the "air leak test" by covering the bowl with one hand and trying to inhale through the hose. absolutely no air leak. i'd rather there be no solder on it at all.

Hassouni Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I think I speak for everyone when I say we're all eagerly awaiting a smoke report. I've found some sites selling them for not more than, say a KM or Temsah, so they may be great alternatives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Eh, the leak test should demonstrate the solder won't get through. For durability, that would be my concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] actually ya i smoked out of it on tuesday. the pull isnt as easy as a KM with nammor/razan but i suspect this is because i was using the original turkish hose which has a small opening in the mouth piece. but it does smoke like a champ! one day i will have to try it with my nammors.

Hassouni Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Definitely let us know when you do, if it hits good and hard, one of those may be my next nargile! If you take the mouthpiece out, does the hose have a wide bore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hookah-burgar Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Chinamon, Lucky You, I am expecting my first Elmas Nargile to arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I love these pipes and their hoses. Went mad about them as soon as I discovered the Websites ("Elmas Nargile" for Turkey and "Elmas-originale" from Germany). Two days after finding the webs, per chance, I bought my first (number 632) from the German site, since this is far simpler and better made than the Turkish website. The price of DHL from Germany to Spain seemed also quite interesting. I am just waiting for the package to arrive. Again Congratulations! Very nice narguile you have. I am pretty sure it will work fine. My two old fashioned Tunisian quality ones, which are quite similar, smoke very well indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
