Don't think that's the real deal. Ask them who made it, doubt they could tell you.... Edited by littlec

Lol, I like how they're on sale from $6.95 down to $6.45... Not to mention they're ugly.

I don't think them not knowing the maker determines if it is a real boho or not. Reason I think it may very well be a boho is the way the glass looks (most notably the bottom of the vase, how smooth it is), and also the way the gold trim looks around the top rim of the vase. It all looks to be of good quality either way, not a bunch of imperfections in the paint job or bubbles in the glass. There's tons of bohos out there without stickers. I think it's real.

I might actually bite on those tongs for my Awlad brass. I really want some hammer tongs, but they match. If someone finds a solid brass colored windcover, post it!

Have you seen these before? I own a pair and they're really nice. Brass color matches my brass Al Nawras really well. The locking mechanism tends to come down and prevent them from opening fully sometimes, but as long as you hold it back while you're using them, it's no worries.

I just got this Tangiers-sized gold windcover from Travis on here:

http://ultimatehookah.com/Tangiers-Sized-Wind-Cover-Gold-TSWG.htm

It's out of stock, so may wanna shoot Neiman an email or a PM on here asking when they'd be back in stock.

Here's the shorter version of it on Hookahcompany however if you don't own any/don't plan on getting any phunnel bowls:

http://www.hookahcompany.com/medium_egyptian_wind_cover_4119_prd1.htm

Very rarely have I seen the Tangiers-sized windcovers on eBay. I'd say try to get a big one just in case, so you know it'll fit all of your bowls.

Oh wow, nice! I had looked at the bird tongs before, but I could not tell what color they are. I would need the XL windcover because I use either a small phunnel or an alien mini, and a standard Egyptian for Nak. Thanks for the links !

No problem, man! Definitely go for the bird tongs I linked you to- very sturdy, probably more so than the eBay ones. The windcover I'd wait on until it's back in stock on Ultimate or see if its available on another site (I honestly didn't check all of them).

My ex had the bird tongs and they worked fine. TBH I am a fan of the cheap ass tongs personally. I want the all brass hammer tongs, I have found some (at least partially) brass hammer tongs, but the tong part was a silver color and it was from a european website.

I have the silver hammer tongs, thanks to MichaelLCP. They're really nice, but lack a bit in the grip department. Best gripping tongs I've used thus far are the jumbo tongs or the bird tongs. I'm no fan of the cheap "alligator" tongs.

Yea the Mya tongs LOOK nice..but are awful IMO. I am gonna probably just wait until I can order the bird tongs and the windcover together. I SHOULD have just ordered an oxidized from Mahir when I got my Farida...oh well next time.

Yes but when in doubt you match it to other styles of bohos, this base doesn't add up. I believe it's a turk base which is similar in quality(but not in design as we see with this one) but no boho.

Good point. I didn't think about it could be a Turkish vase. You may very well be right. Either way, it looks to be of better quality than most. But that price? Nah, fugettaboutit.

Not new. You don't hear about it much because it doesn't work too well. Temperature of coal is supposed to rise and go down as you inhale. This electronic coal does not.

You would have to buy atleast 2 but I suggest rather getting some razan coals from Mahir at Nazarhookah. Edited by S3cretz

Come on, it's only $20. Buy it and sell it if you don't like it.
