thecoalition Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 So I am highly considering buying a new hookah. I have a syrian and a Mya and have been considering buying a new hookah for the past 6 months. I really like the classic look of the KMs. The one I have been checking out recently (since the tri-metal is like a unicorn) is this:http://www.hookahcompany.com/mash_al_khali...h_3045_prd1.htmWhat do you guys think? Any other suggestions? Also any other places to buy a KM that might be less expensive? I mean...HC doesnt even include baccy or a bag or anyhting good.Let me know as I will probably make a decision tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinthecity Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I bought mine from HC and love it. They don't include a bag, but I bought a plastic tub from wal mart and some egg crate foam. I keep my hookah a LOT more protected than it could be in any bag... total cost: 15 bucks.If you want a less expensive one, check out the Hafa.

I mean...HC doesnt even include baccy or a bag or anyhting good.Let me know as I will probably make a decision tonight.I bought that hookah and just got it yesterday. With the hookahforum discount the priced got knocked down to 130 including shipping. It's a pretty pricey hookah but..It has a brass core, solid brass heart, SS nickelplated downstem, and a very sturdy base. My only 2 complaints are that the stem is hollow (outside is SS, core is brass) and its price.But if you're looking for a really sturdy hookah that has a lot of brass and willing to pay almost twice the amountit's a pretty damn nice hookah. I feel even though it was expensive, I won't have any urge to get anything else because of it's quality.

Canon Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 the hearts solid brass, but thats how all kms are made, where the stem aboce the hear is hollow. its not as hollow as the mz is, its much more sturdy then that.FYI i LOVE your hookah derelict, i may end up buying the red. ill have to wait. the price and ice chamber make me not want it as bad. plus it was 50 more then the trimetal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is hollow, but it's weld quality is excellent so no water can ever get into the hollow heart.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out his review to see what I'm talking about. As for the latec's question, it's just the lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
