annual Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I recently ordered two KM exotica's. One advertised from mnhookah.com at 33" and one from gothookahs.com for 40". I recieved the second one today and was a little shocked at the size difference. The One of the left is the one from gothookahs (blue) and the one on the right is from mnhookah (green). I measured them both and the blue one (40") comes in at 36" even with a grommet not in all the way. The green one advertised at 33" comes in at 36".My question is do different vendors use different methods to measure their hookahs?It seems gothookahs measures it with the bowl ontop which still comes short at 39"Mnhookah seems they measured just the stem without the vase but comes in at 34 2/5" Gothookahs: http://shop.gothookahs.com/product.sc?cate...p;productId=279Mnhookah: http://mnhookahs.com/product_info.php?products_id=212Also another question, which one is the new model. Is it the one with the rigid stem tray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalliwag Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Well, everybody knows I'm partial to MN so I'll avoid what would be taken as a biased oinion by some. What I will say though is that with any advertisement an expectation is set. If you take your car to a shop and the guy says it will be ready in 6 days and he gets it to you in 4 days he's a hero. If he tell's you he will have it ready in two days and it takes four he's a villain.Both are the same amount of time. The difference is the expectation that was set.Of course here I am so far behind on the herbal shisha order I don't have any room to cast stones here. Your expectations were set fro what was advertised. You need to bitch out one place for sending you a shorter hookah than expected and then ask Tarik WTF is up with him sending out Long John Silver?!?!?!?!

SmokinMoose Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Gothookahs model is the new because of the area where the tray sits seems to be the new way km is making that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuburbanSmoker Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 if i recall right gothookahs had the exoticas in 36 and 40? maybe it was an error or maybe they ran out? i got mine from there and it sits at 41" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill be making a phone call to gothookahs later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annual Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 Just placed a phone call and recieved the information.Hookah measured from bottom to top with bowl so it came in at 39"Exoticas have 3 pieces in between the stem and Jr.'s have 2. So it seems I got sent the wrong item from Mnh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikemyusername Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 they're handmade, i don't see the big deal.everyone knows no 2 KM's are exactly the same, its part of getting a hand made pipe.as a rule, exotica's are 40 inches, yours came out to be an inch shorter, its to be expected.theres probably a few out there that measure 41 inches.

thejoshman Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 in my opinion they are hand made, youre going to get variations in the size due to the differences in make from pipe to pipe. both are beautiful pieces tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annual Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 Ok but it was the fact I was sent the wrong pipe and thought it was a Jr. which measured the same as the regular exotica. I understand they are handmade and im not complaining about an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delSol_si Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Hell, if I received a bigger hookah than I ordered, I would be totally stoked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentBob Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 like most people said, they're hand made and not gonna be identical. besides, if you average them out you only have a 1" difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
