jjlax10 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Friends, I have been on the hunt on and off since I was in Istanbul last summer to find Elmas or similar high quality Turkish hookahs and parts in the US. I know you can order from Germany, but is there a better solution for those of us on this side of the Atlantic? Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 The only solution is the one you already mentioned. Get with Hassouni or Jabbles on here. They've ordered from Germany and Turkey before and can tell you exactly what you need to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epoch Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I always say this, but the first US vendor to stock Elmas nargile is going to make a ton of money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChildoftheHorn Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Nargilestore has them very inexpensively and they have agreed to send overseas. Use google translate for communication if it helps, but they seems to know english well enough and the price should be about $70-100 less than buying through Germany. Personaly, Elmas makes great pipes, but they are not the best turkish manufacturer. I have one that is not an Elmas, but it is also nicer than elmas and even heavier because of the quality of the brass. Basically, just look for larger hose ports and quality workmanship. My solid Turk pipe is my favorite over my KM's and Nawras. Great Draw, great workmanship, and incredibly smooth as well as sturdy on the ground.

Hassouni Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Hey, I responded to your PM several days late. Sorry about that, been travelling. Let me know if you want specifics for ordering from Turkey. You'll save a lot of money but communication can be a fun (....) challenge. FYI, Elmas nargiles do NOT have large ports, the airflow is very restricted, yet somehow, with the standard Elmas hose, it ends up being the smoothest (NOT the easiest, that's different) smoke of any pipe I've used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
