I Admit It, The Tri-metal Grew On Me, I Am Buying One


Recommended Posts

I am an idiot, I shouldn't be spending this money, but I am.

I am ordering it from HC, I looked at the others they have, which are damn nice but are either too expensive for my blood or have similar styling to the pear etc. I also wanted a brass hookah. I don't mind if it isnt pure brass like the Tri-metal, just want a brass hookah.

Hopefully I like it.

Ive had two sessions out of my new one and absolutly love it. It hits like any other km ive ever smoked out of, purge is spot on, and its a beautiful piece to boot!
You definently will not regret it.


Yeah, let's hope so, I called HC and they told me it will come w/ a blue vase w/o camels rather than the one they show in the pic. I will be getting the vase that comes with the standard aqua zakiy, but in a royal blue, which I am very happy about b/c I already have a camel vase on my amoura.

Can't wait for it !

Nice choice...but I woulda' spent a little more money and gone with one of the newer KMs from HC.


I was thinking about it, but to be honest, i think the tri metal looks better than all of em. Don't get me wrong they all look great, but, I bought the one I thought looked best seeing all KM's rip more or less the same.

The only other one I was considering was the amber scarab, but it isn't a KM it is a traditional egyptian stem, I'd rather stick with a KM. Edited by mattarios2

The tri-metal is one sexy pipe. I fully support your decision. All KM's are nice. I guess the only way to cover all your bases is to buy them all, a la codename style.

Thanks man, the only other KM I really really want now at the moment is the one you have, the Hafa.

The Hafa is a great pipe. I love it. Its too bad they didn't have the selection they do now at HC when I bought it though, its not too flashy, but not too plain. I might have gotten a blue tri-metal instead though, but I'm happy with it. Out of your KM's which one do you like the best/which one smokes the best?

Well I only have two, the heart of a lion and the amoura. Definitely the amoura its alot bigger so the downstem and all is alot thicker, alot more smoke quicker. But for the size of the HOL it rips incredibly well. From what people have told me, the tri-metal is the best smoking/purge KM, we'll see when I get it.

I was thinking about purchasing my first KM with that tri-metal but now I am disappointed because i already have a blue generic egyptian hookah and was growing partial to the green. sad.gif


yeah i liked the green too, right before I ordered they said they sold out. And what sucks is HC won't change bases for you on any KM's I begged and they still said no.

Worst thing is to buy the tri-metal and switch the base. From what I am told, that tri-metal stem is well worth the inconvenience of getting the base then switching the base. Look at it this way, buy a new base and put it on the tri-metal and then keep the blue one as a back up in case one of your vases ever shatters *crosses fingers*

Is there a good place to buy KM bases? If I was going to buy the tri-metal with the intention of replacing the base I'd like to replace it with a KM base.


check this place out. Great customer service, and great prices. I like the red white and green ones personally.

Those are some really nice vases. They look better than a lot of the ones that come with new KMs.

yep, one of the main reasons I didn't buy any new KM's from HC is b/c they are very expensive partially b/c of the czech vases, but I think they look ugly. Those KM replacement vases r sexy

i gotta say the vases on the kms are what keeps me from loving their looks. Those replacements do look nicer

I like the regular egyptians most. I kind of liked the Shamaadan but the stem is too plain for me. I figured for 55 bucks less you can get a tri-metal. I thought it was a better deal and looked better even though the Shamaadan is all brass for 150, I liked the trimetal better.
