CzechMate Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Whats going on guys. So i have been looking everywhere for an AF solid, and i keep seeing them pop up on random websites typically overseas. But the large is labeled as 30'' tall and i think the 2nd gen large is 36'' tall. So my question is are these new AF solids any good. I have heard that they could possibly be made in china? any word? thanks guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wek-sos Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Yeah, there's a guy selling an "AF Large" that is the same size as a Medium (maybe? it looks too short)... Stealing his pictures off another forum. Hose port and purge valve look completely different. Base is underwhelming. http://i.imgur.com/v9J9yGs.jpg http://i.imgur.com/fIvofbG.jpg http://i.imgur.com/2xG7odo.jpg http://i.imgur.com/HaBfZfu.jpg I've seen plenty of copies on eBay, but at least those had the traditional Nour hose port and purge valve. Never seen anything like this before. New line of AF pipes? Possibly. Chinese copies? More like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CzechMate Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Yeah i am still unsure if i want to pul the trigger. If it was just a new line of the AF solids i would be down. Let me know if anyone has bought one of these, and what you think of it. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bawhee Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 If it looks shoddy generally stay away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 When it seems too good to be true, that's because usually it is... I would only get it if you won't miss the money if it ends up not being what you expect. There's also always the KM Prince. I know it's not exactly the same, but I love mine. In fact, I feel like it improved upon the original Al Fakher version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wek-sos Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 ^ The more I see them, the more I like the Prince. Like the AF 2nd generation had some sort of gold paint or brass plating that would wear off over time, issues like that. No need to drop $250+ on a collector's item if you can't use it without being afraid of messing it up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bawhee Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 That is so true, my pipe is meant to be used, if it cant handle that without getting all fucky then I dont really want it :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wek-sos Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) ...maybe I am wrong? http://www.hookahforum.com/topic/41805-a-few-of-my-favorite-hookahs/page-4 Same hose port/brass design as the current stuff we all see on eBay. I'm still sketch about it though. Edited April 10, 2014 by wek-sos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
