dafunk5446 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I have been meaning to make this post for the last 2-3 weeks, just been way busy with school and work to do so Anyway...WOW!!! Thats about all you can say for KM's. What a great hookah! This thing is solid as a rock, my vase is massive, stem is about as tall as a telephone pole, and is just an amazing piece of hardware! Only problem I have had with it, is the fact that the stem fits SO FREAKING TIGHT! It takes 2 mins to remove the stem from the vase. Have to hold the vase with your feet and slowly wiggle the stem loose, and once I got my water level down (needed alot more then my Qt, about 3-4" above stem) this thing started pumping out the clouds!ON TO THE PICTURES!As you can see she is a sexy beast!Hose picStem PicVase pic-not a huge fan of the vase, but hey it holds waterThis is my serious hookah smoking faceSMOKE!!!

modisess Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 wet up the grommet a bit before putting the stem in the base...sweet hookah btw, enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafunk5446 Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 Yeah, I tried wetting the grommet, no improvement unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newjacksm Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Sand it down it takes about 30 min to get it right but thats what I did and it fits pretty good now just make sure you do it evenly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafunk5446 Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 Yeah I was thinking of sanding it downWhat grit did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont remember but i started off with a coarse grit and worked my way to a fine every 5-10 min I checked to see how it fit. Then when it started getting closer I switched to the fine (probably un-needed but wanted the rubber to be smooth) make sure where you can clean up easily. I did it on my bed and the rubber pieces were a bitch to clean up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_HOSSEIX Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) that is a beauty!! mad props. Is that KM from the new batches that arrived this month?As far as the grommet there is a couple things you can do1. Sand it down2. Remove the grommet and apply electrical tape till it fits snugly3. Use some non-toxic grease (wharbones idea which i like a lot because i work with non toxic grease in lab when i use robber holders for glass tubing and pipets.)4. try this: http://saharasmoke.com/store/catalog...t-p-16836.html Edited December 2, 2008 by DJ_HOSSEIX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafunk5446 Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 It is not a new one, they have had them on there for a couple months now. I actually got it before they new ones went up. I really want the isis from gothookahs maybe christmas!Thanks for the suggestions, im most likely going to sand it down, seems like the best long term solution for the problem.

newjacksm Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I guess im not the only one who noticed that KM's went up recently? Amouras use to be like 79 dollars which are now selling for 89-99 dollars. Exotica JR's use to sell for 69.99 now selling for 79.99 or more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafunk5446 Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 Yeah mine was 79, not that bad for the size. It came with the standard vase brush, stem brush, bowl, and tongs. As a bonus I got a pen, 48 jap silvers, and a 50g box of layalina double apple and melon. The melon is really good by the way. So in the long run not to bad.

pullingteeth Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 sweet hookah man.i believe thats the same hose that i just ordered off of gothookahs. does it seem pretty solid? my razan fell apart after a few months of strenuous use so i figured i'd try out a KM hose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafunk5446 Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 I got 2 of the deluxe km hoses, blue and black. Both are solid, and the draw is really nice on both. Easily doubled the smoke output on my QT. The stock hose on the mya's suck compared to the KM's. They are also the nicest lookin hoses ive seen.

antouwan Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 you can sand it or use a file (i opted for the file and it took only about 10 mins or so) the kephri (on gothookahs, everyone calls it something else, most people call it a precision) is a effing tank, with clouds to match its solid build; it completely outperformed my exotica, at least in my experiences.still a magnificent pipe though...i never really got the exotica to smoke extremely well, and sold it to mu cuz...good luck though, glad you're enjoying it!

dafunk5446 Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 Sanded down the grommet, worked well, it comes apart a thousand times easier. I wouldnt say I was getting as big of clouds as my Qt at first, but after messing with my hole pattern and increasing the water volume its surpassed it by far.

Codename067 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Nice buy! Sick KM. Sanding it down always does the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb1021 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 i like it. beauty in pure performance. where can i order one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafunk5446 Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 http://shop.gothookahs.com/product.sc?cate...p;productId=279. I have had to play with mine to get it to smoke really well (not saying that all are like this), first I had to have a higher level of water, second I had to use less holes then normal on my phunnel, third I had to make a adjustable windcover (http://www.hookahforum.com/?showtopic=25679), and lastly I have to use 3 Al Awa'el coals instead of the 2 I would normally use. Smokes awesome now though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
