sensae Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 So, I bought myself a KM Tri-Metal and I'm absolutely in love with it. I'm curious though - is the hose washable? It's very pretty. If it isn't, help me decide: Should I smoke through it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookah hippie Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 you can smoke through it if you use like flavors it isn't washable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1v3th3ad Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 where did you find one? I want one, not one of the "reg" ones that places like HC have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sensae Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 It's one of the "reg" ones. I know I can smoke through it, it's just, I'm debating whether to ruin the hose like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doubon Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Ruin it how? Gotta use it eventually. Hoses are easy to replace anyways. Plus its comparable to the nammor or razan so I say use it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sensae Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 Ruin it by using it and making it eventually rust and become nasty, and I own a nammor. Oh well, I said screw it and decided to use the hose anyway, because I was too lazy to clean my nammor and might as well use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doubon Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 i saw a diy hose using the hose ends off a razan or nammor.you could do the same when it becomes unusable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sensae Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 Yeah, I could. I do like this hose a lot now that I'm using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vin13 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I used to be timid when buying non-washables but my friend and I both have a few KM non-washables and love them. Any smell left from previous sessions is gone by a hit or two, and you can bet anything coming with a KM will hit pretty damn hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalSoil Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 there is a post int he how-to funhouse where someone made their nice KM hose washable.they basically unstiched it and replaced the inside with tubing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sensae Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 Interesting. I had one other bizarre problem with my KM. I first got it, and when filling the base the outside got a little wet, and I noticed the gold leaf rings on it would rub off if I just touched them. I got all freaked out and just avoided touching them, but now that I've had it awhile it seems the gold leaf has "sealed" and I can wash the outside with hot, soapy water and the gold leaf just takes it. Anyone had this happen? Wtf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanij Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Yes It's happened to me before, almost all my base wore out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sensae Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 The weird thing is that it's not wearing off any more though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sensae Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 Here's another odd thing I noticed - my purge valve looks different than all the other KM ones I've seen out there - I apologize for the craptastic picture but it gets the point across. Does HC throw in random purge valves sometimes? Is it just a different style that KM makes or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doubon Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 my purge is the same. i have no problem with it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sensae Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 Interesting. I had no problem with it either, I was just expecting the purge to look a certain way and it doesn't, lol. I kind of like it more this way though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
