Chreees Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Awesome, thanks John. That more clearly shows what you did. I'll probably try doing the same, if I can get a hold of a bowl port. And cool to know I can use the tracking on either site. I'm gonna die watching this thing travel to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Yeah no prob. Once it clears customs you will get it in a couple days. my first order from Turkey the package sat in customs for like 2.5 weeks. 2nd order it sat in customs for one week.

Chreees Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Dayum, 2.5 weeks?? Hope it doesn't take that long, lol. I'm going to post a trade thread, see if somebody doesn't have one of these adapters. Thanks again for the recommendation man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swapped out the tiny hose port on a Mya Petite for a bigger one on a QT... I felt bad after doing it, and swore to never do it again. I am pretty big on karma. Hell, one time I left Walmart I got outside and realized the cashier gave me a $20 back instead of a $10. I went back in and got a round of applause from folks nearby when I told her and gave the money back. She was so grateful because that would've come out of her paycheck. So yeah... I tend to not do such things. They make me feel bad, even though it may not seem like a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, could you please photoshop this new shank (the fourth pic showing the full length of it) onto my vase in this pic? (Feel free to go ahead and edit out the hose, and background even if you want/need to): [img]http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p40/INCUBUSRATM/Hookah/IMG_1439.jpg[/img] I really need to mess around with Photoshop more...

Chreees Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 Guy I purchased it from acts like all Turkish brands are the same, no difference. Said these are made right in Istanbul where he lives, whereas Elmas are made in Izmir, right? He said the different makers use all the same parts, more or less. So perhaps that is why there are similarities to the 639. But really honestly I have no idea. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Yeah, Elmas does have its own workshop in İzmir where they do all the metalwork, at least if those videos are anything to go by. Given that everything is cast though, it can't be hard to copy the molds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Yeah many things are similar, and some are not, many of the figured pipes look quite a bit different. My canary looks much different in terms of the birds than the Tokel one does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattarios2 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Yep, mine took 3 days to get from Turkey to NY. Then it say in customs the first time for 2.5 weeks, then took 2 days once it cleared customs. 2nd time same thing except it sat in customs for only 1 week. They use USPS priority mail to deliver the parcel once it reaches the USA, that is assuming they used the turkish postal service like Nargilestore did.

Hassouni Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 PTT is pretty fast. Customs is slow and suuuuuuuucks. Everything Mattarios said was true for me too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
