Chreees Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 http://www.southsmoke.com/pd-north-smoke-classic-tower-vase.cfm http://hookahjohn.com/Syrian-Tower-Trumpet-Base-SYB.htm I want one of these vases, but I want it completely clear and want to add decals to just the top of it. Does anyone have one and have they stripped the paint off of it? I think I saw somewhere that Jabbles got one and was going to. If you see this man, let me know how it goes. The design on these is okay, but does not get me super turned on. The glitter is too much, I think. I wish they were like the old trumpet vases with just a simple flower pattern or something. If someone has an old clear one with flowers on it, hit me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarePolice Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 No idea about stripping, but those sure would look nice sitting under my brasser. Wonder if they'd fit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now with another red Egermann boho vase on the way, I have two boho options to choose from for my Nawras, haha. It's going to be a tough decision. But I've always wanted a trumpet vase. I originally wanted it for the Nawras, but since I have two good boho options for it, I want the clear trumpet vase for the OG Tri. Hell, I may just sell both bohos and do buy two trumpet vases for both my OG Tri and Nawras! Oh, the possibilities are endless, aren't they... I'll never be able to make up my damn mind, haha.

CarePolice Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Or you could just buy EVERYTHING! Ahahahahaha! Anyway, I'll let you get back to your discussion. I'm positive there's a way to do it. Nail polish remover maybe? That shit seems to like destruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuie Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I like the Genie Bases http://www.southsmoke.com/pd-north-smoke-classic-genie-vase.cfm I would get the purple if it didn't look like I needed to move to the Castro district of San Fran to be eligible to own it.

ilikemyusername Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 you should be able to get that all cleaned up with nail polish remover. If that doesn't work, Carb spray will remove damn near anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 I PMed Jabbles and he told me he's pretty sure it'll all come off. He's got a Genie base he's going to strip in the next few days and he'll let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRT Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 How the hell'd he do that?! I just ordered a huge shipment from HJ including the syrian base and the glitter is NOT my thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabbles180 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 This is what I did. I went to the local lowes. I picked up some paint stripper, paint thinner ( which you don't need but this was kind of an experiment so I wanted some on hand), a plastic putty knife, and some kind of protective gloves. Now, you take the paint stripper and lather it all over the vase. You let this sit for about 15 min. Take you plastic (card or putty knife or toothbrush) at scrape from top to bottom. The paint will just "wrinkle" right off the vase. Wash the outside off. The wash the inside in Case some stripper went into the vase. Now you have a clear vase. Enjoy! Ohh I forgot, this stripper is dirty so be sure to use some rubber. ( the gloves) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no longer welcome Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 too bad they don't import more of those shapes but without the paint. i have seen the ones hassouni has described. importers!?!? are you reading this thread??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 Yeah they're really nice looking and something that's not the everyday bell-shaped vase. I think the importers are kinda slow to not be getting us these vases. Tapatalk'd via iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
