delSol_si Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 For sale is a 36" AF solid, i have been told it is a first gen. If you want to know how good the hookah is or my seller reputation, i have already sold/traded one of these with Ringsmaster, SloppyJoe, and Foibled_again. So, after a lot of thinking, I decided I am selling my last AF. I know I will probably regret this, but I think its for the best. I never smoke it anymore and I don't really need a 36" hookah for display in a dorm room. Plus, once summer hits, my smoking is going to be little or none. So, I have a hard time letting a perfectly good hookah just sitting there collecting dust when someone else could be putting it to good use. When I smoke, I only really use my KM, MZ, or mini mya, so no sense in keeping this around. I have only smoked it a handful of times, not much at all. It actually hasn't been used in at least a month or two (reason I'm getting rid of it). I did check it for leaks, I didn't find any. I fully assembled it and stuck my finger over the hole the bowl goes on and sucked on the hose port, didn't get any leaks. BUT, I will say the vase to stem gasket is pretty crappy. It takes a bit of adjusting to get it sealed properly. I will seal fine if you just shove it in, but there is a TINY air leak, which can be fixed by twisting the stem and getting the gasket to set right. Georgie at hookahcompany.com has a syrian gasket that should work if you don't feel like fucking with the one that comes on it. I haven't tried this myself, but SloppyJoe said he tried it and it worked for him. They aren't on Georgie's site, but he is a really nice guy and if you call him up or shoot him an e-mail, im sure he would be willing to sell you one. I don't guarantee anything one the leaks part beyond that because I dont know of any other way of testing it, if you know of any other way, let me know and I'll do it. There ARE a couple issues. 1. the joint above the heart on the stem does twist a little bit, i don't know why, hasn't created a problem for me, but then again, i don't use the hookah. If you would like, i can try to put a little solder on it, but im not an experienced solderer so i can't guarantee the outcome. I was goign to go ahead and do this, but thought i might as well leave that up to the buyer. 2. I don't have any spare gaskets to include. That means NO bowl gasket, NO hose gasket, and you only get the one vase to stem gasket shown in the pic. 3. i don't have a spare hose to include. I CAN include one of my old homemade hose handles if you want, but they aren't that pretty and I don't really have the time right now to make another one. I'll try to get some hose and a connector, but i can't guarantee that either as i am really busy, they only cost a couple bucks each at lowes. 4. I can include a bowl, but its a really shitty bowl, it came with the hookah. it is crappy material, holds about 15-20 grams im guessing? its a really small bowl, about the same size as one of the mini egyptian bowls. up to you. if it breaks in transit, too bad. sorry, but like i said, its a crappy bowl, and the only reason im even offering it is because i don't use it and have no use for it....and its really fragile. there is also a tiny dent in the large tray right by my thumb. and there is some blemishes on the heart that you can see. the vase is a jumbo as far as i can tell, my KM has a 2" opening and the AF is just a TINY smaller, not much at all though. Oh, and one other thing...this hookah will NEED to be cleaned before you smoke it, I didn't clean it after my last session or two. I was using my vase brush from my KM for it, but the brush got fucked up and i don't have any other cleaning brushes right now...im actually trying to figure out how to clean my other hookahs right now, lol. Sorry guys, i wish i could clean it before shipment, but i don't have the resources. So, to recap, here is what you get: 1. 36" AF hookah stem (i've been told it is 1st gen, but no guarantee) 2. AF vase as shown in pics...the vase wobbles a little bit, but i dont know if its the floor or the vase as my dorm floor sucks...but just to be on the safe side, im going to say its the vase. 3. both trays 4. the crappy vase gasket that came with it 5. the crappy bowl that came with it (if you request it) 6. one of my first homemade handles (at your request...like i said, its not pretty, i can send a pic if you want) you do not get anything not listed. as for right now, im only accepting MF. asking price is $80 shipped. USA only, i don't feel like fucking with international shipping. my plan for now is to only sell to people on here i reasonably trust. like i said, good hookah, just don't feel the need to keep something im not using. oh and if you want a used QT, i can make you a deal on that as well, maybe save on shipping if i can fit it in the box. i have been as detailed as i can think of, if you want any other info or pics, let me know. oh and the metal BB has been replaced by a plastic one which is a tiny bit too big. it works, it seals and purges, but the purge kinda sucks. it can be used as is your you can put a smaller BB in it. there is also a little piece of plastic stuck in the crease right below the top brass colored section, you can see it in the pics.

delSol_si Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 sold as is, btw. please take a very good look at the pics. edit: i might also be interested in a partial trade if someone has a red vase i like. not sure yet, just a thought because i would eventually like a different vase on my KM. actually, if someone does happen to have a red vase and the person wants my old KM vase, i might be open to trading vases or whatever.

Chaz1337 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I would be interested in purchasing just the vase if you are willing to part with it. I like the floral pattern on it and already have the 36" Large Solid Stem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
