Wek-Sos Collection

After owning a Fumo, Regal, more KM's than I could count, and a few Nawras and Nour pipes, I've figured out what works best for me so here it is

Thanks guys. I'm fairly new to Turkish pipes but so far the only thing I haven't figured out is the wind cover. I took it off last night, burned my finger, and then immediately went to fix my contact. Didn't realize how much a hot finger in your eye hurts...

I can't figure out how to resize so here's a direct link http://i.imgur.com/Tac82v6.jpg

 

El Nefes Pasha x2, one on a Chinese base (Turkish base soon!)  and one on an Egermann ball drop

Temsaah Scarab on Egermann

KM Beast w/ Lotus tray on Mya boho

Syrian on Mya

Elmas 632 on Mya

KM Trimetal on Syrian dish

 

edit - in April I said I was done buying and selling pipes, now I think I'm saying it for good.

Update! Turkish Crystal base has come in after a long wait. I got a text today asking if I would sell the Temsaah, so that's going away in a few days. KM Trimetal will be sitting on the frosted Egermann when that happens. Now all I need is a shorter Boho for the mini Elmas, that current setup looks too goofy. I want to nickel plate the Beast in the near future, possibly copper plate one of the Pashas depending on how much that costs. I never use the Syrian so either it is replacing a Mya as a Black leaf & zag pipe or I am selling it. Eventually I will hire an engraver to copy the Temsaah engravings over to my Trimetal. It looks boring.

 That sounds pricy. I wonder if its possible to nickel plate a hookah w 1 of those liquid nickel plating kits on amazon. I wanted to nickelplate my Nawras swirl forever. At the same time i don't want to risk fucking up my hookah lol

I'm thinking you could zinc plate which would be cheaper, and that's probably what Nour did.

Zinc! That's why I can't solder this plated Nour.... lol thank you for that info.

 

Plating the Beast won't matter now, I sold it (sadly with the Lotus tray) and a few other hookahs recently. 

So now it is:

 

Nour on Mya base

Trimetal on frosted Egermann

Pasha on Turkish cut base

632 on Mya base

(in the mail) Kamanja Beast

 

I think I'll focus more on the bases, get everything on a nice Boho before I buy any more stems.

Sold the mini Beast, Temsaah, one of the Pashas, and picked up this mini Kamanja.  It looks nice but the weight and hose port/downstem thickness is nowhere near the Beast or any other KM I own. I need to swap the downstem and the hose port with something heavier. A 10" Egermann is on its way (thank you Mark!)
 
I want to sell the silver Syrian but it isn't worth anything. Just trying to thin down the collection... 
 
 
Also a question to you all: I never use the Trimetal but it has some sentimental value... First "real" hookah after owning some Chinese. I bought it and it arrived after a long day at work. I raced back to my girlfriend's apartment only to see a note on the door from UPS. We drove through traffic and got so lost, ended up arriving at UPS 2 minutes before they closed. It was our first real "bonding moment" over hookah early on in our relationship. Smoked my first Tangiers in it and had a whole bunch of good times with my girlfriend and that Trimetal. Well 2 years later and she wants a watch, and I want an Elmas 639. So next month we are going to give some gift-giving. My question is this: sell the Trimetal because I never use it (even though I won't get much from it) or keep it tucked away for a rainy day?

I want that Mya Base under the little kamanja! I can only find the threaded version of that. :-( Can a threaded base fit a Syrian? Sorry for derailing your thread. great collection btw!

Thanks for the tip ill probably just use the base my pipe came with, still I wish i knew where to find the Mya base you have. It sucks that mya stopped selling those and replaced them with threaded versions!
