mya stems are solid.
why do you need just a stem?


yea mya stems are pretty solid i agree, well because I have an extra base I never used and a few trays



in that case, you'll want to make sure the stem fits your base, they're not all the same size.

its hard to find one. KM's mya's and MZ's dont have the ones you are looking for. i have one hookah that is solid. its full brass with nickel plating. its the one im smoking out of right now

these 2 are the closet thing you can get, the 2nd one comes in different colored vases/hoses. #2 looks more solid.

The first one seems pretty good, I mean its almost the same as the thamesh and a 4inch difference .. yea maybe i'll go with that one.

If the 'Thamesh' is the one i'm thinking about, also called the Majestic by some people on here. Then it's the heaviest damn stem you'll find in the KM line. Mine feels like it could be a tire iron, a baseball bat, and then smoked out of after I show off it's awesomeness.

It's heavier than my trimetal if that tells you anything (since many claim the trimetal is sooooo heavy). You def. won't regret it.


*one note* I noticed that the stems that were similar to it at 'thehookah.com' were called Kafae stems but the bottom part where the traditional nut was screwed on is produced differently, suggesting a different/lighter metal.

If you can find one, the KM Zahirah or Thaqib. Only difference is the chrome plating on the thaqib vs. brass zahirah. Could easily crush a small planet under it's dense mass. For real.

blam.

My og trimetal stem is very heavy. The newer trimetals that are out however are not as heavy.


Well I've got one of the older ones with the nut on the bottom not the curved out new design, my "majestic" still beats all thus far.



Here's that picture I promised of mine, this is just one I had taken a while back if need be I'll take a closer pic so you can see more detail.





Clicky to enlargy



Now there might be heavier stems out there, but I'll just let it be known that the worlds strongest man competition has asked to lease it out for some of their challenges.....



I'm guessing GNR's is the same as mine in the fact that it's not hollow at any part (besides the downstem :-P) it's completely solid, unlike the shitty KM's that I've seen recently.

Yuppers. They sell the pipe you have at a local shop for 75 buckeroos. If I wasn't on thin ice with the lady for having accumulated 6 pipes in the last 8 months it would be tempting.

I say go with Liquid's pipe. Isn't that the Kafae though?

It's ALMOST the Kafae.

I noticed the picture of the Kafae has the new design at the bottom of the stem that substitutes the screwed on nut for the older KM models. SO far, the newer KM's I've seen with the substitute 'nut' are made a lot lighter and not nearly as solid. But hopefully the Kafae is made the same exact way just with a different downstem.

i had both styles for a bit. i bought either an old one or a direct import locally, and then bought one from gothookahs (the kefae) for a buddy of mine because 1. the pipe was a beast & 2. no one else was selling that model at the time. my model was ridiculously heavy and had the nut screwed in the bottom. the 'new' one i bought for my buddy had the flared type design, and when you looked at it from the bottom it seemed that a lighter piece of metal was wrapped around the actual downstem...my km ice from HC had the same look/design on the bottom as well.
