Showtime07 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Thoughts?I like the prices, but the look of the hookahs, at least to me, is only so-so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 i think they look hideous ... an ugly recreation of the OG tri-metal.i did get a tri-metal mashal (just the stem) from him though :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fcbayern Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Sorry John I have to agree.. for a few dollar more you can get a Mash'al that is gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no longer welcome Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I'm just trying to keep a broad range so that everyone can have one. Not everyone can go over $100 for a pipe, it still will smoke like any of the other models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColibriDon Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I like the pipes. That black frosted one is really nice. Do I like it more than the Super Chiller? Maybe not but I do like having that extra $130 to spend on tobacco and coals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippo_Master Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Oh god. How can you make a KM even cheaper?They are about as cheap and overpriced as they come. Al Fakher Syrian FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the middle of replacing the purge tube and valve because of a hole that came with mine. Nevermind the condition of the pieces and the sloppy soldering that I've been redoing, but the tube itself is crimped instead of bent properly (the hole is where one of the crimps are). Once I removed the purge tube I also noticed the hose port tube is crimped by over 50% in one area. Now I'm considering taking that out to fix it.

Bulldog_916 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Used to be that you could get a 70 dollar KM on Hookah Company and the price of a KM would never go over 99 dollars unless it was a super premium model. Ah the price of popularity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giant Ninja Robot Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I like it. It's basically like an amoura with a copper piece instead of acrylic, no? I like it for it's simplicity, it resembles MZ's imo.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisonpyh Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Personally I really like them, one of my favorites among ones that John has. Like other people have been saying, it is simple and cheap compared to other models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuie Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I am with matt. John I hope didn't come off like dissing you.This would be a pipe I would probably recommend to a newbie...after I tried one of course. I may pick one up for my sister-in-law.

I may pick one up for my sister-in-law.No Stuie, they aren't for everyone, in fact I wouldn't own one either, well as a first choice, but it's just another choice. Perfect for a newbie, or a gift or whatever. Anyways, just adding more to choose from, we'll see how they go. thanksJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
