Stuie Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 maybe. Tray is wrong though. They snap down and that looks like a Mya Tray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 the hose port looks odd too....or at least, different than the ones i've seen before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitchy Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 yeah hose port is definitely different and yeah no snap on tray.. maybe a copy but purge looks possibly similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 The Chinese are now copying Syrian hookahs, so this could very well be Chinese. The bulb on the end of the hose port looks really off... never seen one like that before. Hard to see, but the purge valve looks like it's probably too different as well. Lol at the Chinese tray with gasket instead of the intended snap-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bawhee Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 considering all the bong looking things in the background (I might be wrong but they look like bongs to me) I would imagine he works at some kind of head shop and they usually sell knockoffs from my experience... though the only place in slovenia that sells nammor hoses is a head shop so who the fuck knows.

mattarios2 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 it looks like a chinese hookah and a Magdy Zidan mated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang67n Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 the hose is godawful.. even if it is a knockoff, it's pretty.. it'd be cool to see it up close and examine it. You'd be able to tell if it's legit just by picking it up prolly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 you can tell by just looking ... it is not legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krapplejaxx Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Looks to me like a Sahara Smoke pipe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krapplejaxx Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 looking at it some more makes me lean toward being a possible quality syrian...look at the tray. Definitely not the one it came with. Looks like a Nour, but with that crummy tray thrown on it. As for the Nickel double karakol, they DO exist, but I haven't seen one in the USA anywhere yet. Here is a photo I got off of the Nawras site before it went down: [img]http://i.imgur.com/Rn4N9.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Yeah but look at the hose port, looks just like an MZ. Looks nothing like a Nawras hose port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I've literally seen every image on Al Nawras' website, and have never seen a hose port like that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krapplejaxx Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) I was comparing mine to my female bowl port syrian, and the nub at the end of the hose port looks similar [img]http://i.imgur.com/9qdfql.jpg[/img] Edited December 12, 2012 by krapplejaxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
â€On Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 My first pipe was "breakdown" syrian similar to the one krapple posted, and my port looks the same. I wouldn't completely rule out that it is a Syrian, but I am almost 100% that it is not a Nawras or Nour (or anything made by that same company). On these types of syrians that can be unscrewed, nothing looks the same as on the solid one-piece pipes. If I had to guess, I would say the pic Twitchy posted is basically a larger version of this style of pipe and I wouldn't be surprised if it did unscrew and was not actually a one-piece.

KasbahBazaar Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Here is one of my Nawras that it seems was the inspiration for part of the design, the top shape at least: [img]http://i47.tinypic.com/13yflnq.jpg[/img] Chreees is right, the Chinese have been making knockoff Syrian styled hookahs. I have even seen some sellers trying to pass off these Chinese replicas as Syrian pipes, so buyers beware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
