fcbayern Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Both, it depends on what site you are ordering from. On sum websites a KM exotica measures 40" on other its 38", same pipe.dont you wish it worked that way with anatomy, an extra 2" never hurt anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no longer welcome Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 i've seen both, i measure without the bowl lately since most people want to upgrade to a phunnel, and most sites should tell you if they are measuring with or without the bowl.

HellCat Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 It doesn't really matter, because most bowls will just screw onto the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy makes one troll topic and you guys label him.Tisk tisk.Btw it can matter depending on what size you are thinking of buying. I know some sites don't tell you. Much like H-S. Most of the time it is measured without the bowl though.Imagin if they were measuring a QT with a Havanna Phunnel, lol"MYA QT - 20" Hookah.""hm....that can't be right..."

foibled again Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I've seen advertised heights 4" more than actual to account for the bowl. My ~26" Mya is really 22" without the bowl and My 30" AF Medium is really 25" even though the AF box says 26".My World Trophy is sold as 34" and mine measures 33" without a bowl.

hookah hippie Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I find most places measure hookahs without a bowl on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spats Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 My KM tri-metal (32") is 29" without the bowl. My bowls range from 3.5" to 4"with the tallest being a MNH Jet Funnel at 7". Small, medium, large andX-tra large be the sizes for pipes it seems. Base bottom to top ofbowl mount should be the standard. YMMV I'd rather the 2" in girth than length...

Enjoivolcom Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 so how do you guys order your hookahs, and how do you explain what your hookah is? With the bowl or without the bowl? Ex. if you want a 32" hookah do you order a 34"? Do you say you have a 32" or a 34"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Its going to vary from retailer to retailer. There is no standard in the industry. Each hookah will vary some, too, even the same model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcbayern Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I think you need to keep in mind that when talking about KM. KM does not necesarily make their own Jars. So you can get the same stem from different retailers with different jars. Those Jars are not always the same height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you say you have a 32" or a 34"?I'd order it as the manufacturers listed size measured from base bottom rim to top rim of the bowl. A couple inches either way is fine as it's tough to get an exact replacement bowl anyway so the 32" or 34" measurement is moot!My MYA Bambino I'd call small, my AF solid is a medium and my KM tri is a large, it's all relative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Moot meaning its an irrelevant or nonsequitur question.I have seen different retailers call the same hookah different heights. If the manufacturers have a prescribed method, the retailers don't stick to it. Jars do vary, that's also a factor. Bowls also vary. They are purchased separately from the hookahs, so in terms, the manufacturer doesn't know how tall the bowl will be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
