It's Turkish. Lol to the setup on that one! If you don't know how to set it up, then don't pretend to know how to... Just lay out all the pieces and take a pic. That's what I'd do anyway...

elite-fusion Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Hey guys, Found this...I personally like it and am thinking of getting....any thoughts/comments/suggestions? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hand-made-Turkish-hookah-/160993456564?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item257bf531b4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 It is an el nefes sultan, The traditional version that utilizes a male bowl and no purge valve. I personally am not fond of the el nefes styles but i am sure they are solid hookahs and will last just as long as any other brass/copper setup.

Chreees Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Lotus tray is nice, but I've heard that the El Nefes quality is shit in comparison to other Turkish makers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KasbahBazaar Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Correction, it's not an El Nefes Sultan. An El Nefes Sultan is this. I love the tray on that one and thankfully it accepts male bowls and has no purge (unlike the "modernized" ones sold as El Nefes). Anyways, unfortunately this one seems to have the same core drawbacks as the Sultan: Common chamber and a threaded downstem. I would love to be able to have that tray on a better proportioned and more solid pipe, but I'm not willing to spend $300 and so for those of you looking for a pipe with a lotus tray, this is probably your best bet.

I was under the assumption that El Nefes were made both ways, traditional style with no purge and female bowl port, or "modern" style with purge valve and male bowl port. The ones sold here in the States were the modern style, obviously, so we see those the most. Still, both styles have quality control issues, such as now the downstem on the modern version is no longer threaded, but it was made much shorter for whatever reason...

Adamrice23 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I have a sultan and its traditional chamber, really solid pipe and absolutely beautiful. The ebay isn't an el nefes sultan but if you can get one its worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, but even a pipe that is heavily used can be cleaned up to look brand new with a bit of love and some polish. See my KM Polishing thread from a few months back for an example. That being said, I highly doubt anyone else cares as much about polishing the metal on hookahs as I do :P haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 If he polished it, it would be on a hookah forum, not eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
