Chreees Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 It came! Huge props to Hass for bringing this all the way back from Lebanon for me. I am making this new thread so that way I could have the new poll. So what do you guys think? KM OG Tri or Nawras? KM OG Tri: [IMG]http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p40/INCUBUSRATM/Hookah/IMG_0482.jpg[/IMG] Nawras: [IMG]http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p40/INCUBUSRATM/Hookah/IMG_0481.jpg[/IMG] And here's some tongs he brought me back as well: [IMG]http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p40/INCUBUSRATM/Hookah/IMG_0483.jpg[/IMG] They're just like my bigger jumbo tongs, except smaller. Pretty neat! Initial thoughts of the vase: Love it. The iridescent gold is pretty kickass. The vase has imperfections in it such as bubbling and the gold stripes "bled" here and there, but who cares. That just shows it was handmade and painted. The design is actually etched into the glass, making an impression in the surface. It feels like a good quality paint job and will not easily come off. I'm very pleased, no, extremely pleased with it. Thanks again Hass!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zildjian Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 i said og tri before, but ya know what, since its a smaller trumpet it looks better on the nawras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coleman Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Honestly chris it looks sexy on both but I have to go with the OG Tri. It just looks gorgeous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 You're welcome Chreees - Ahlan wa sahlan! Go with the Nawras. Shit, I had no idea you already had tongs like that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Damn the new edit rules! I take it the packaging was sufficient? Never packed glass before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 Nawras is winning!!! Haha, no worries buddy... I really love this style of tongs. I was actually wanting a spare but the local shop in Nashville didn't have anymore, so it all works out! I kinda like them smaller anyway. Man, know how I had to get all that newspaper out of the vase? I had to get it all wet by running water in the vase, let it get through the newspaper to fill up the pockets in the bottom, then flip it over and let the water push the newspaper out and take a knife and pull it out. I was worried at first and it took me a good five minutes to think about how to get it out. Thank you for giving me a challenge. EDIT: Yes, the packaging was supreme!!! You did an EXCELLENT job. Best packaging ever, in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 Haha, oh how different this thread is from the last one... that's why I made a new poll! I thought you guys might change your mind... You're all a bunch of women! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 Agh, this thread is Nawras, the last one was OG Tri... and Boludo brought up a good point elsewhere- that I should throw it on the OG Tri, so that I can still have the Egermann boho on the Nawras. That way I'd have two kickass vases on both my shanks. EDIT: Oh, and I definitely need some new gaskets, haha. If I use the OG Tri, I just need a thin gasket. If I use the Nawras, I'll have to remove the electrical tape I have on there right now and just use the thin gasket it has on it right now.

Epoch Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Time to change my vote... Nawras is the guy. But you need to do something about your KM vase, it deserves something much fancier than the plain bell with HF stickers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
