Let's Try This Again. Need Helps From The People With Trained Eyes.


Recommended Posts

Found this on CL, trying to decide what kind of hookah it is. Looks pretty unique, supposed to go look at it Saturday. Any ideas?

Based on the stem, hoe port and purge, it's syrian. Name Brand no idea, if it's a heavy shank, I would get it. Looks awesome!

Yeah, screw together Syrian hookah. No idea about a brand or model, but it's one of the most handsome pipes I've seen in a while.

Well I decided to pick it up, got it for $75 so I don't think it was bad. Needs new gromets, so I'll have to go order that, and has some oxidation on it and also has some corrosion(not rust) from water. I think it will smoke good. Just need to figure out how best to go about cleaning this sucker out. Pics to follow later as I'm not at home at the minute.

Vertical hose port means it probably has an open heart which is indicative of a cheaper pipe.

Why is that? Just curious just started gettig in to syrian pipes. Purchased one from Skoozle recently and looking to pick up a nickel multihose Nawras that has straight hose ports.

common chambers use straight, short, simple ports that go in at and angle..usually. think of a KM hose port. it bends and goes straight down through the heart to come straight out the bottom of the heart

Not necessarily, I have some common chamber Nawras that are sturdier, heavier, and better put together than my traditional chamber ones.
