Km Shamshadan / Precision

[antouwan]

can you guys that have a km shamshadan or precision (i think they're the same thing) take pictures for me and post them up here, mainly by the top, under the tray and of other unique features of the stem, i think a local sho has them here, but i want to make sure i know that's them before i go and drop the money on them.

thanks a lot in advance guys....i hope at least of few of you guys have them

Man, all you need to do is check under the tray, on the tray plate. If there are those KM flower-crowns on it, then it's a KM. KM's over here don't have the arabic writing under the hose port anymore, except the mash'al I believe and maybe another style.

i wish something were written on the damn thing, so i could read it and know for sure! so the flower design on the tray rest thing pretty much scream km?

yep and if it is as KM vase it will obviously say Khalil Mamoon on it or h/e they decide to spell it lol.

[antouwan]

no these are just generic bases, and they aren't km trays either, i don't know if the precisions come with the km trays like on the exotica or not

they do have the work in the top of the tray rest thing, and they also do come with the km trays as you can see from this thread.

My Shamshadan (or as well call it Majestic) has writing around the hose port. So maybe the new versions don't but mine does .

I have a KM that is identical to the Shamshadan except instead of two knots on the stem there is only one (so it's shorter). Mine has writing on the hose port. Honestly that is my go to hookah. It's better quality then my KM Pear.

as far as I'm aware mine is a Shamshadan, down to every last detail on the ones on hookahcompany.com

It's my baby and I love it. I'm getting a pharonie here pretty soon and while it'll be awesome I hope it can match up to the awesomeness of my battle torn shamshadan (I still like calling it the KM majestic better lol)

i was at a lounge with a couple of my buddies about a week and a half ago and they brought out these hookahs, i thought they looked like some km's ive seen before and i know the guy gets his pipes from over there. from a hunch i lift up the tray/plate and under the plate are these flowers engraved on a really edgy hex/octagonal shaped tray rest, i figured they were kms. they smoked like beasts as well. after doing a little more reasearch i have concluded, indeed they are; or at least ridiculously well constructed knock-offs (why the latter would be true baffles me, and doesn't make much sense.

so here's the deal, i'm going to talk to the owner who i know pretty well and throw him a pitch to see if he's interested in selling me a couple of stems, i don't plan on paying more than 35 per stem - i think that's VERY reasonable for a used stem-only pipe.

I was at a lounge the other day and noticed that i was smoking out of an all brass KM Shamaadan.

Lol i knew it once i saw it.

i picked it sup, i had to buy the whole setup...i'll post some pictures later today....this pipe is rediculous

[Sonthert]

I saw some Chinese rip-offs of KMs, aluminum core, really, the best Chinese hookahs I've ever seen, but still crummy. They had the the little doo-dad on the end on the down-stem, the flowers on the tray, the identical arabic writing, everything. They aren't in wide circulation, thank goodness. They do disassemble. The downstem and the taper/main core tube unscrew from a hub near the base. They do have distinct tubes in the bell, which is the first Chinese I've ever seen like that (I was wondering if they knew how to) If somebody tries to sell you a KM that disassembles, be suspicious. Twist on the downstem. It should be solidly attached, not able to be removed like a Mya. The Chinese KM rip-offs are somewhat heavy too, heavier than most Chinese, heavier than the third quality real KMs, but far lighter than the heavy tri-metals.

[mattarios2]

Wait so there are heavy and light tri-metals? The one I have is a more recent one, but it is pretty damn heavy.

[antouwan]

the guy who owns the lounge gets his pipes from all over the place; i knew what i was doing, this thing was as heavy (if not heavier) than a brick, and the parts were welded, and nothing is screwable. (that's what she said)
