JDHarding Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I got this sucker from UPS today. The stem feels pretty light, and on close inspection there's already rust inside of it. What's going on here? Is this a lower quality KM? I got it from Caravan Trading Group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voski Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I would recommend you don't smoke out of this is you are going to want to change it. So either go ahead and smoke it or make sure it is rust and call them and get a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDHarding Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Nono, I was wrong.. seems the hose port's inside looks rusty, but it's a brass weld point. The outside of the hose port has brass on it too from where some of the chrome was rubbed off.The stem feels about 2 pounds at most. Is this normal for a KM Ice stem? Looks like it was made out of one solid piece of metal that was machine stamped. Is this also normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blastoffbrett Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I've had a KM Ice for about 8 months and it's looked like that since day one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoop Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 the signature ice stems are pretty light. all of them are light if they are the stainless steel models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDHarding Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) Yeah.. this must be the stainless steel model.. with the brass hose port and purge valve. Too bad they didn't just keep them brass colored. That woulda looked cooler. The KM hose is not washable, right?Edit: Scratch that. The stem on the purge valve is infact still just brass. Looks cool. The hose port is brass, but chromed over, I think. Edited March 3, 2009 by JDHarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 depends, if you got it caravan, it should come with a grand washable hose. does it feel like its felt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDHarding Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Yeah, it's felt. Looks like my Nammor, except it's got a fuzzy type feeling all over it. Same kind of plastic ends to it. I didn't wanna just go and wash it and screw it up, 'cause I've seen the non-washable KM hoses and they fall apart when washed. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 that one is washable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDHarding Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 A lot more flexible than my Nammor, too.. musta been made with latex tubing or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soldier92 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Oh boy, if the hose says Khalil Mamoon on it then I don't think that it is washable. What Scoop was talking about were the grand washable hoses that I *think* are only available through that retailer. Make sure that your hose doesn't have the KM writing on it.Otherwise enjoy.

soldier92 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 The KM ultimate hose feels like felt and looks like a nammor, except the end that attaches to the hookah. Sorry, never seen a grand hose before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Click Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I believe the Caravan Washable hose have a logo on the hose next to the fuzzy ball on the end that goes into the hookah stem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
