mitchard Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 [IMG]http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t244/mitchmauer/nour/SDC18017.jpg[/IMG] Next to my old Nour. I got the vase tray for the older one too. Not sure if I am digging how it looks with it, but still cool. [IMG]http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t244/mitchmauer/nour/SDC18013.jpg[/IMG] Hose port and purge piece are both smaller than the old for sure, but both work just as good. The purge is a little restrictive compared to a KM, but all the Syrians I have smoked out of are like that. Plus the vase is pretty small, so there isnt a ton of smoke to get rid of anyways. Surprisingly, both pipes weight about the same. Both are heavy and solid. [IMG]http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t244/mitchmauer/nour/SDC17999.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t244/mitchmauer/nour/SDC18008.jpg[/IMG] KM Pharonie - New Nour - Old Nour The hose port is wider than the old one, but it gets a little smaller in the port itself so its about the same overall. Just a tiny bit smaller than that of the KM, so the pull is a little more restrictive. But still awesome. [IMG]http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t244/mitchmauer/nour/SDC18006.jpg[/IMG] With a v1 Narb. Fits fine, and the hose doesn't fall out. [IMG]http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t244/mitchmauer/nour/SDC18007.jpg[/IMG] v4 Narb works great too. Same story with the v3. All of my KM hoses fit too, but the AS was a very tight fit. [IMG]http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t244/mitchmauer/nour/SDC18028.jpg[/IMG] Bitchin carrying bag. I like that its transparent. Quite a few compartments for accessories too. The bottom unzips and you put the tray under the vase to help protect it further. And last, but definitely not least: [IMG]http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t244/mitchmauer/nour/SDC18035.jpg[/IMG] The clouds are screaming fuck you. In Dave's general direction. Overall: Buy one. Now. The quality is fine in the end, despite concerns people are having. It smokes just as well as my other Nour. The draw and purge are both a little more restrictive than a KM, but all Syrians are. I like the more closed pull anyways. Not overwhelming like a KM can be at times. I'll upload a short video later. I'll move this to the review section eventually, but I just wanted to let everyone know how much this pipe rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchard Posted July 31, 2010 Author Share Posted July 31, 2010 And I grabbed a bohemian vase from HC. Got here yesterday. I think it looks much better, and it feels a lot sturdier with this vase on there. [img]http://i32.tinypic.com/2m7uued.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antouwan Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 beautiful. the only thing that keeps me from regularly using my syrian/leb rig is the lack of a decent hose proportional hose to use with them. the white narb and bohemian base is a sexy setup but it just breaks the vertical line for me. it just really bothers me aesthetically. i think syrian rigs are by far the most elegant (in a gerard piqué sort of way) pipes out there but when you throw on something that functions well but the hose falls out and it just looks as awkward as a baby giraffe then that can kill it for me as bad as a shitty mya hose that looks nice on there but can't function for shit. sorry for all of that input - it's more than i even bargained for.
