Pavo21 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 i think they look nice, and will give some egyptian companys a run for money, they bring that AF look which is very popular, but wil lbe egyptian quality like KM IMO so we will only tell in time :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamrice23 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I'll probably give em a look next time I'm at the shop. 5stars price makes more sense for them so I will give it a closer look. Not a big egy fan though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitchy Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Nope, Al Nawras used different purge valves too across their models. ;) wouldnt say that exactly, from pics of the nawras site ive seen theres really only 4 variations on the hose ports and purge valves, if you ask me seeing the purge/hoseport and the heart of the pipe you can ID if its a nawras almost certainly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitchy Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 ††that shows 2 different hose ports and purge ^^ ​​ †​another different hose port †​††another different purge ††the left 3 pipes have another type of purge and hoseport the kind we see the most †outta 24 pics of nawras pipes there only 4 variations of hoseports and 3-4 of purge.

kaoz187 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 someone should do a review on these :p they look good. specially the aladin and bolbol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitchy Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 yeah im definitely interested in the af look alikes , quality seems better then the v1 shikas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoozle Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 You know those purge valves screw off, right? I have seen them for sale loose and I'm pretty sure they would fit most generic Syrian hookahs. That's kind of like identifying a Ferrari by the tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamrice23 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I was just at 5star buying a roi :) I took some time to check out the shika rigs there.. that af solid look a like is heavy as can be. The etchings aren't that great but with the jumbo on there these things are pretty nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 My point exactly, Ashley... People really shouldn't be too quick to say a Syrian is a Nawras. Plus, there's plenty of perfectly fine, even great, "no name" Syrians out there. Just gotta know what to look for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Sharrp SYBIAN Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 My point exactly, Ashley... People really shouldn't be too quick to say a Syrian is a Nawras. Plus, there's plenty of perfectly fine, even great, "no name" Syrians out there. Just gotta know what to look for... Indeed I once had a Nour Spear with amazing etchings big enough port for almost any hose smoked wonderfully then i got bills :-( lol That spear was awesome the only thign the Nawras version ahad above it was a better quality ash tray. There are a lot of good Syrians out there Year Nawras are the most sought after by hardcore collectors but they aren't the only great syrians. There's a whole armada of high quality nours out there!

Twitchy Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I'm not saying there only being id by purge , Chris just said they have many different ones across all models , when from what we've seen in there site they don't.. There's a couple variations that's it , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 It's more than just one, as Sybian was suggesting. Also, Nawras made a LOT more than just what was on their site... I've seen some weird shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuie Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Let us know how it holds up after cleaning and polishing. The only reservation I have with stems like that, is Brasso takes the black and aged look off like it's dust, So I am just curious if this brand has figured out a better method.

Tyler Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 Well, this is after I cleaned it (I always clean new hookahs as soon as I get them before using them, just incase :P) But for all the good things about these hookahs there are 3 bad things to point out: 1) The wlds for the hose port and the purge valve, while extremely sturdy, are a little messy. Lots of excess...welding stuff (whatever you call it) around the base of each port. 2) On two of the joins for the stem's outercase, there appears to be plastic? I was able to get it all out using a pair of tweezers and some dedication but it was kind of annoying. 3) the hose looks like an exact copy of a KM ultimate rainbow hose Otherh an those 3 things the hookah is perfection. I think the stem weighs ~4-5 pounds. The base is beautiful in person...so shiny! The pull is smooth and the purge is easy. I do notice that it bubbles a lot more than other hookahs I've had, maybe I don't have the correct fill line yet? The tray is extremely sturdy and doesn't rumble on the hookah during a pull (which I find really annoying about some hookahs lol). The clay unglazed bowl it comes with will be a perfect DA bowl :) Oh, and I guess a negative, for me, is that the tongs it came with are WAY too thick and....clumsy? to use for coals? I'm afraid of crushing the coals when I pick them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
