38" Khalil Mamoon Double Pear Two Hose =)

[CHOBOOO]

Okay, forums not letting me start a topic in the review section, so I'll just type it out here, and mods can move it there.
This is my first review, and I know it won't be that accurate, and I am a novice on hookahs haha.

38" Khalil Mamoon Double Pear Two Hose =)
Ordered it from TheHookah



I don't have details pictures yet, because I snapped it out of a phone, so bare with it please =]

Hose: The hose is black with wooden ends. It's quite long, and very flexible... no complaints whatsoever.

Bowl: Egyptian Bowl, didn't have my tangiers funnel, but it still worked out fine. 7.5/10

Grommets: Decent base fit..when it stood up, it was still a little slanted, but I just supported with some stacked napkins to make it steady. The top grommet was fine though. 8/10

Vase: BEAUTIFUL vase. I couldn't take my eyes off it when I smoked it. 10/10

Stem: Very nice stem. The two blue pears really topped it off. I was planning to get an Exotica, but I got convinced to buy this one. 10/10

Tray: Decently sized tray with the KM logo imprinted on it. 10/10

Smoke: I started it off with a one hose, and clogged the second hole. Then we just added the second hose. When you pull one at a time, it doesn't make that much smoke, but we bared with it. It also doesn't have an auto seal system. 7/10

Cleaning: Easy to clean, comes with the cleaning brushes. I rinsed it off with warm lemon water. 10/10

Overall: Would not recommend this as a first hookah. In the past my first hookahs was the shitty chinese hookah espresso. I did a little more research and found the KM, which led me to buy the 31" Hafa which was a big difference from the chinese one obviously. This new 38" KM really hit the spot, although I wanted a one hose. 8/10 I would prefer this over the Hafa though.

Gotta ask the stupid questions, sorry:

When you were using both hoses, was one person putting their thumb over the hole?

[CHOBOOO]

yeah we were experimenting around with it, and then that came to the conclusion haha
either that or we just both inhale at the same time

[Zinite]

Yeah if you're going to use 2 hoses without autoseal, whoever isn't inhaling needs to cover the hose opening with their thumb. Otherwise, you're just inhaling air out of the other persons hose.

I had the opportunity to smoke out of a friends this afternoon and it hits just as well as my exotica does. not gonna lie though, it was a little weird looking at a km with two hoses coming out of it.

[CHOBOOO]

i wonder, is it possible you make your own auto seal system lol

[hookah hippie]

I am not sure if I would buy a multi hosed KM it does look very nice but single hoses smoke so much better

[AKammenzind]

Really not sure where you guys get these ideas... I've smoked tons of hookahs, and have used 3-hosers that smoke every bit as well as any 1-hoser out there.

Does look like a damn sexy hookah though, but I'm too poor to hope for one hahaha.

Erm, I thought that's what you fixed with 2 minutes of time, an iron, and some silver solder. Not that I've had to fix a leak yet in any of my hookahs.

Also when smoking multi hose you can run into drunk people and those who don't pay attention not covering the hose as well as you got to clean 2 hoses or more

also I like the look of a one hose

and you get the purge and on a KM its nice to have the purge

The multi hosed Kms have a purge valve too. Everyone just has to cover up their hose and it will purge.

Good review. I fixed the grommet problem by swapping it out to a couple of Mya grommets that fixed the slant. The stock black grommet is crap and I hate that the stem doesn't fit flush with the vase with that grommet. I had to stack a couple grommets to get the right size but it worked well enough.

Also, to purge this hookah, you can just blow. If the other people don't cover the ends of the hoses, the smoke will just be pushed out their hoses and into their faces. Funny but not that big of a deal.

As far as the autoseal adaptor, I am trying to imitate the Mya autoseal system which is really simple and see if I can implement it here. I think I'll have to drill a hole into the hose port to get a screw in, drop a ball bearing in and see if it will work. I am nervous about doing this as I'm sure you can understand. haha

My idea should work though as Mya does the exact same thing. The only problem will be finding the right size ball bearing...and actually drilling the hole.

[Dr. B]

Use an airsoft BB. That's typically a good start as I know it works with Myas.

Start with a tiny drill bit so if it doesn't go how you'd like it'll be easier to patch.

Good luck and report back if you get to it Edited February 21, 2009 by Dr. B

Why on earth would you do that? If you really feel the need for an auto-seal (which you shouldn't, it'll most likely add to the draw) then just mod it into your hose...

Mainly because I hadn't thought about doing that to my hose but that would work. Also, this was just an idea, but I will probably experiment with the spare crappy mya hoses I have laying around.

Hmmm...thanks for the idea. haha

Be careful with that. Those hose ports are way larger than the hose ports on a Mya so the screw and ball bearing idea may just not work. Besides I wouldn't want to ruin a perfectly fine hookah. I would recommend experimenting with other methods (no drilling please)!!!

Can't wait to see what you can come up with. Some detailed images would be nice.

[jfaltous]

I'd make some sort of intermediary port/grommet.. something smaller with a valve that sits inside the KM port

[ColibriDon]

I'm going to try it with the hoses once I get some down time.

I was nervous as hell about screwing with my new, and now, favorite hookah with some hair-brained idea. However, the hose idea is almost the same and I can do that with one of the mya hoses I never use.

Jflatous, your port idea is actually pretty good and might be worth checking out. It would also be temporary so you could pull the grommet out and smoke it normally.

Hmmm...this might be worth checking out when I have some free time.

Good ideas people! And thehookah, don't worry, I'll have plenty of pics if I manage to get this to work.

if its full sealed out of the other port, theoretically it should hit as good as a one hoser, am i right? when you have autoseal and other shit that leaks is when you complain about a multihose. I thumb it up out of habit on all multi hosers.

Honestly, the Multi-hose KM's smoke better than any other multi-hose hookah. The draw is super easy. But, yes, you do have to block up the ports in order to smoke with one hose and it smokes just as well as other one hose hookahs.

The thumb method doesn't bother me that much, I'm just curious if I can get this to work in a hose.
