SmoKingSynergy Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 (edited) I am trying to decide on a new pipe and have narrowed my choices between a Nour and "a syrian from a banned vendor" 26". I was debating a KM for a while, but from what I have read, the syrians are superior. Which one would you buy and why? If you own either of the two please let me know what you like and dislike about it. Thanks. Edited October 28, 2008 by SimplexCoda Removed name of banned vendor.

Click Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 (edited) sigh. ^^^ banned vendorAs to the Syrian being superior is speculation. Some might like the the KM better, or vice versa. But those aren't even name brand Syrians, like a Nour.Like every other post. Most people would recommend a KM, MZ (Magdy Zidan), Nour Syrian, or Mya (multiple hose).

joelhookah Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 i think you made a thread elsewhere and this question was answered. everyone speak chronicles about km for a reason. the are great hookahs. as for the nour http://www.hookahforum.com/?showtopic=24563 theres a review of it. that speaks to me seeing as the guy has a KM and an MZ. as for the banned vendor, yeah there are a few reviews on the other forum about his stuff. but for the price i would have to go with the nour.

I am just trying to get as many opinions as possible before I sink my cash into something. I really do appreciate the info though guys. Who is the best online vendor to buy a Nour from? I really like this one. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpw36 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 i know that one i was looking at it but then i bought my km from a member here but seriously check out gothookahs.com they have killer prices on km and mz and they have some of the best customer service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the KM's, but I was just under the impression that the syrians were a lot more sturdy and better built. Give me you opinion on some of the better KM's. I think that the Ice Chamber, the Pear, Double Pear, and Exotica are all pretty cool. How do they compare to a Nour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 from what I understand KM's pull better, and I think they look cooler. Syrians are built more heavy duty, have more exquisite designs, and they are heavier and solid. But let me tell you that doesn't mean a KM is cheaply made or not solid, mine is solid in build and could be tossed around and used as a weapon and would still hold up. The syrians are just solid shanks so they are alot heavier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelhookah Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 well in that case you might want to check out gothookahs.com there is a reason a lot of people have kms, and it is not because they are cheap or easy to come by, it is because they are great hookahs. as far as which km they are all pretty good, i couldnt get an ice because the ice chamber doesnt make a difference imho. i would check out the pharonie at hookahcompany, gothookahs.com also member smokinmoose has some kms for sale as well. happy shoppin.

Codename067 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 (edited) My friend, all you have to do is drop by gothookahs.com and check out their rather decent selection of KMs.And that Jimmy guy is the single most ignorant guy when it comes down to hookahsI have shut him down so many times every time he tries to take a shot at KM...he ALWAYS compared his Syrians to KMs...every time some person starts a thread over at Hookah****** asking for which KM to get, he gets in and start whining about how his Syrians are far better and blah blah, I go full blast on him..I mean you cant blame the guy, he's only selling Syrians, so of course he's going to back them up, but not as long as I'm around Syrians are good, solid hookahs, but you simply can not put them in comparison with KMs. KMs are superior.

ColibriDon Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I have the 30" Nour from HC and I love it. In fact, I would say my Nour smokes better than my KM. But that's like saying "This $80/oz caviar is better than this $80/oz caviar". You're not going to be disappointed. Honestly, I would say it's down to pocket size and preference. If you can afford it and love the look the look of them, I would say the Nour is best. But if you can't afford it and/or just love the look of the KM (And who could blame you?), then go for the KM. They're both great pipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 my 2 cents... pick which one you like best. They will both smoke great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously he needs to send you his best syrian this instant so you can honestly give us your opinion. Everyone knows your a KM man through and through but his replies are so annoying and his "customers" constantly blab on about him like they are personal adds. I wonder if he pays them to do it. I have only experience with the KM of the hookahs listed here but I have smoke syrians and can say of the brands you've listed all are great hookahs and will hit amazingly. A good question is how often do you drinka nd smoke or have drunk people around your hookah. If its never then a big KM is a great hookah its beautiful (i have a 41 inch 2 pear) but if you have drunk people often you may want to get a smaller sturdier hookah like a 26" Nour. Also style is a huge importance. How traditional do you want it to be. customer service wise i've heard good things on gothookahs i personally love thehookah, george is a good guy and reserved a KM for over a week for me because i needed to get the money for it. SKS good luck let us know what you decide on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no friends so the only drunk person that would be around my hookah would be me, and I if I do something stupid to break it then it's my own fault, although it's highly unlikely that a scenario like that would unfold since I take great care of all of my possessions. Now I think I am debating between an Exotica and an Amoura. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
