vaypourus Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I just received my replacement purge valve top. My KM purge valve had some real funky threading...almost as though the hole was drilled crooked. Regardless, the purge valve top wouldn't thread on more than about 1 1/2 turns. Unhappy with this, I searched and found a replacement purge valve top for $5. It threads on perfectly, and purges as well as the KM top (has three BIG holes drilled into it for purging). What do you guys think of the style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't they call these Chinese valve caps or something like that??I dunno? I like it a lot better than the KM one though...looks much better, and it blows the smoke down towards the ground, which is kinda cool. The other day a friend purged my hookah and blasted me right in the face because of that hole right on the top of the cap. One second I am leaning over to grab some grapes, and then poof I catch a full purge right in the eye. Well...that won't happen again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 The newer KM's have that "Rice Paddy Hat" style purge valve caps now. Their older ones have just the staff looking thing. Personally, I prefer the Staff style because i feel it purges a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
