Captain Ziad Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Smoked some sheesha when I was in the Middle East some years ago; since then, I picked up a few bits and pieces mostly for decoration. The other day I decided to go ahead and set one up and smoke it. The only modern stem I have is a Khaleel Ma'moun; and it is set up to take a male bowl. Which is the one thing I don't have. Should I try to get an adapter, or should I try to find a male bowl? I don't recall ever using one, but that was a while back; I guess the last time I smoked one was in Manama in about 1998... wow, I am old. Thanks for your assistance!

A few of our members have a lot more experience with male bowls and could probably do a better job pointing you in the right direction. [url="http://www.5starhookah.com/Syrian-Male-Bowl-SB1023.htm"]http://www.5starhook...Bowl-SB1023.htm[/url] Can't verify the quality or design but not a bad price to experiment. Have not really seen any male egyptian bowls though, I think they are a thing of the past (in the us at least). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blakefox Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Crownhookahs may be able to make you a male bowl to fit the style you want, though it is most likely going to be different being glass and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Or pick up an Elmas bowl from NazarHookah: http://www.nazarhookah.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=94_107_110&products_id=692 I love mine.

twoapplesplease Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 The elmas bowl may infact be to large to fit an egyptian...female stem..like syrian and lebonese female stems...pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Mya male bowls are too small to easily fit into my Lebanese pipes, but the Elmas bowls are not too big for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bawhee Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 if its small wrap some paper towels if its big, shave it off a little like chris did with his adapter, what matters is that you get SOMETHING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Ziad Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 The bowl problem has been settled, through the generosity of a very nice person. Pictures, as requested: [img]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7061/6852547735_caf63393c2.jpg[/img] [img]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7025/6852547723_3349226dc8.jpg[/img] [img]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7182/6852547739_5f4bcfa07a.jpg[/img] The top, showing the cup for the bowl. I am not sure if the tray goes with the stem; the vase I got at a thrift store for 2 bucks. [img]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7001/6852547745_174c5f079e.jpg[/img] Thanks again, everyone!

Chreees Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Whoa- an old Hafa. Now that is a nice KM. I'm REALLY digging that tray. Is that how KM used to make them back in the day? If so, they should've stuck with it... Glad you solved your bowl problem. And congrats on owning such a nice hookah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Ziad Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 Thanks, guys. I will definitely let you know how it smokes, once I get it fully set up. Any suggestions for first flavor? Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vendetta_revived Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Awesome looking hookah! You'd still need to get a new hose though. The one in the picture will be fine for a while I guess (if it's not too old already), but will eventually rust on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Ziad Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 Yeah - I just bought that one the other day, before I realized I couldn't find a male bowl locally. I hope to get a better hose for it soon. But I did find That Box this morning - the one I have been hunting for since we moved in. Treasures indeed!!! But that deserves another thread, and I need to take some pictures before I start that one. Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
