twoapplesplease Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 One thing the hose ports are gigantic...being closer to the same size as the gauge of the downstem/inertube makes the draw "balanced" i call it...with a wider gauge hose an elmas has an even more wide open draw then a km without the rumble effect...its the hose and bowl combination that really makes it smoke tobacco like nak so well... The hose is not really restrictive it just kinda slows down the draw letting the smoke really build right at the mouth tip....ohh and turkish hoses are made to be used with a mouth tip...ccn tips work great with them A smoking experiance that cant be matched when smoking nak and like tobaccos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I had a pretty good talk with Mahir about them, once he got over me being critical he gave me some good info haha. But yeah, I can see why people like them now from the sound of it, I always understood that theyre pretty but never udnerstood the whole OMG BEST SMOKE EVER thing til now, I might be picking one up from Mahir to compare it to my AF Large when gets some more in.

gramps Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 The hose should make a lesser pipe smoke better. Imagine this giant Turkish hose on a Mya QT. Tail wagging the dog. Haven't tried that yet. Even though the stem is shorter than the one on my KM, it weighs more than a pound more. The base is rather plain, being frosted with rings painted around it, but I like being able to fill it up to the same "mark" every time. Monday I'm heading to Lowes to check out which reducers could be used to adapt the 628 to take my other bowls. I know there are brass reducers that probably fit pretty close and can take temps to 400 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bawhee Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 an elmas hose would weigh down the qt and topple it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hassouni Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Just to add to the fun, last night I smoked Nakhla for the first time in AGES out of my 628, and Goooood DAMN it was good, the pull, the clouds, just perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Oh Tangiers has not been outdone. I've just gained interest in Nakhla again. This happens time to time for me. I get on a Tangiers kick, then a Nakhla kick, and back to Tangiers again (I haven't really found any other tobacco brands to be worthy of being having their own "kick"). The purchase of the Elmas has probably prompted the new kick prematurely, though. Things are just coming back around full circle, as they're supposed to...

Webbles Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Just received my Elmas from Mahir @ Nazar Hookah. Packaged very well to eliminate any threat of damage. As i hold the Elmas, I cant help but thank Mahir again and again for giving it up to me. Couple of observations: - Heavy hookah. Completely solid. - incredibly sturdy hose port. I was worried about that in conjuncture to the heavy Elmas hose. - Elmas hose VERY well made compared to other turkish hoses. - Fabric tape holds and seals everything surprisingly well. - Vase is filled with bubbles, but i dont care. Will post pics tonight with the Elmas sitting on my Boho (which is amber as well). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
