I don't know which I have since I have yet to get EITHER of mine in the mail, hopefully no later than Tuesday!! Then I can smoke my head off for a week with my new toy and then slow down, LOL Is there a difference in the type of smoking experience you get?

ZooJohnnyZETA Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Hmm... personally I would say I much prefer the Egyptian bowls to Syrian ones. All of the Syrian bowls I have smoked have been funnel shaped and tend to use up a very large ammount of massell per smoke. The Egyptian ones tend to use a very small portion of massell and smoke just as long in my experiance. One other problem I had with my Syrian bowls is that after a few months of use the clay underneath the grommet where the bowl plugs into the stem would start chipping off and fragmenting. Slowly making the connection point shorter and shorter until eventually the bowl would need to be replaced. In my oppinion your much better off with an Egyptian than a Syrian in that regard. Although I was wondering somthing about Hookah-Shisha's Syrians. Does anybody know if the bowl-to-stem connection is like all the other Syrians or is it the standard Egyptian type connection? Ive really liked the look of the Syrian Snake Hookah but I wouldnt buy one if the bowl connected to the stem like the majority of Syrians do.

NERV Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 ive never had that kind of problem with my turkish bowl, which connects the same but i dont know if the rest of it is the same dimensions as a syrian bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 The Stargate hookah advertised in the past, which I purchased (and love) comes with both type of bowls. Since the top of the stem are screw-on, it comes with both adapters for both types of bowles. I'll take a picture and put it up for ultimate clarity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
