oopsie...

and if you must talk about the guy from that vendor..use his name..Jimmy Zaid.

[drabin]

eh it bugs me that ch is banned since i've been to the shop and there is not a single drug related thing, but i dont wanna hijack the subject so back to the hookah choice. Any updates?

[Johnny Unseen]

so ummm... yeah dude I recomend a chiller.. I have a chiller and an exotica.. the exotica is amazing but the chiller adds that something that I just needed.. that perfect pull and taste.. this is just my exp with it.

[mitchard]

The nour is an excellent choice. I love mine. Check out the 30" from HC is you haven't already. What a piece it is. Beautiful and smokes like a champ.

Are you talking about the Bohemian? That thing is beautifull, but out of stock last I checked.

Does the ice chamber acctually make a differance? I have heard that it dosen't do much. The thing looks cool though

[srawas89]

In my opinion choose what looks best to you. It is true that the ice chambers really dont do anything but if it looks good to you buy it.

Get a KM unless you absolutely want a Nour. I have smoked from one of those Banned Syrians, and they are a plated common chaber and have no center tube, like a Mya in that regard. They are sturdy, but they come apart and i much prefer a solid build to one that unscrews (it doesn't make the cleaning easier, it makes it harder). They are too expensive as well.

Nour hookahs are sturdy, and all brass which is both good and so-so. Brass is sturdy and heavy, but it oxidizes pretty quickly compared to something coated in nickel or the likes, like a KM (to the best of my knowledge). Oxidization is easily cleansed, but it looks rather disgusting.

KM;s are the best because there are only so many things that can possibly go wrong. The thick tubing and openings make them almost impossible to clog. They stand up to heavy abuse, but not to sitting in water .

Nours are also a bit over-priced as well. You are basically paying for only the stem (unless you buy from Hookahcompany in which a quality vase is included). I owned a Nour for about 72 hours, used it twice, and sold it as fast as possible because i really did not enjoy it as much as my KM's, or even QT for that matter.

Ohh, and ice chambers do keep the stem cold, but you pull the smoke through the stem so quickly that it honestly doesn't affect the temperature noticeably. Ice in the base is a better option as the smoke come sin direct contact with it for prolonged periods (after you hit). Edited October 28, 2008 by Hippo_Master

My friend, all you have to do is drop by gothookahs.com and check out their rather decent selection of KMs.


And that jimmy is the single most ignorant guy when it comes down to hookahs

I 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.

Rofl CN it pisses me off so much. 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.

Yeah I have noticed the same thing about jimmy, he does seem like quite the db. 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.

Either one will be awesome I have an amoura and it rips like a champ, other members on the forum have said the exotica rips like a tank aswell. Codename has also said the exotica is the best bang for your buck KM according to his experiences. Both great hookahs, snag either one and you will be happy, even better GET BOTH! + mwahah hookah parrr-tay!

Awesome reply man +1

[Scoop]

i have 2 nour syrians (small guy and bigger guy) and 2 hookah-shisha glyphs (older ones made by nour from what i can tell, virtually identical).

ive had no problems with any of them. i have a bunch of KMs (mash'al, ice chamber, pharonie, copper pearl), i have no problems with them.

its really up to you. get whatever looks better. The nour will have a slightly harder pull, however in terms of smoke density or clouds you wont notice a difference...i cant at least.

[drabin]

lol JR is getting ripped on another site as well. I don't know why he doesn't just send someone like codename his best syrian so we can get the KM mans opinion of it.

[joelhookah]

i am working on it actually, once he gets one of his smaller syrians in i am going to see what kinda deal he will cut me and then my friend should be buying the nour by then and my km will be here within the next 2 weeks. looks like itll be a head to head showdown

[Guest DJ_HOSSEIX]

as a business "professional" his cocky attitude and bashing every hookah on the market because he thinks his product is most superior is uncalled for.

[SmoKingSynergy]

Thanks for all the advice guys! You guys rock! I'll post a review of which one I decide on when I get it.

[joelhookah]

Cant wait to see it man! On a side note that HD thread took a hell of a turn man. I hate to see something get to that point, I hope my reply brings everyone back to happy hookahtown. On another side note, the hookah I was going to order friday is out of stock so I will be ordering a syrian nour to tide me over. I will let you know how it smokes.

[mitchard]

Cool, I will be looking forward to hearing what you have to say about it. Yeah, Jimmy is a real POS! I hope he gets banned there too.

[drabin]

Joel CH has a sale on 26 inch nour right now. its 72$ i believe.

[shisha fan]

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,

he`s not welcome there anymore either. same story as here.

As of when? I did report him to the Admin there just like a day ago. Are we talking about the same site? I sure fucking hope so!

Still, two out of three is not to bad. I think it will only be a matter of time before he gets banned from the third, he is constantly pissing people of over there.

I actually dont think he will be banned from there because the moderator FT loves his hookahs. They are going to let him be a douchebag, no big deal just ignore him.
