dafunk5446 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 So I got my package containing two new KMs today, a Heart of Lion Dual tone and a 31" KM Ice. It would appear the rumors of lower quality KM's are true. These two hookahs are NOT even close to the quality of my others. The 31" Ice stem weighs less then my 27" Faridat stem. The HOL is not to bad of construction but not what would be expected. Both of these hookahs were lacking the KM buldges on the down stems. They also feel extremely hollow and cheaply made, welds are not as clean as they normally are as well. The new hoses that are on thehookah are crap, I repeat crap in comparison to my other KM hoses. I will post pictures soon to show my displeasure. It is a sad day for Mr. Funk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff_T Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Sorry to hear that man. I think my old KM pear stem is probably like 4-5lbs at least... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inino Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 im not trying to down on one of our vendors, but ever since i saw the multihose KM i thought something might have been up. and their KMs have kind of a poor quality look to them. maybe just me, but thats what i noticed.

AKammenzind Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Is that tray even legit? It looks like it was very poorly spun, and all the other ones I've seen looked like they were stamped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
