mr.shisha Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 So I just got a shipping quote on a KM from H-S, and it was.... $130!!I am getting fed up of living in the UK, it would set me back $332 for the hookah + shipping, around £200. I don't think that is worth it at all! Jheez...I will check the other vendors, I really liked the 46" KM Ra that was on H-S though.Mr. Shisha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not too sure how shipping works in the US. I would totally be up for that however. No problem! Thanks for the advice though..So, considering I get the hookah, would anybody volunteer to send it to the UK if I get it shipped to their residence? btw what are anybodies thought's on the KM Ra?

Zinite Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Why don't you check with UK based vendors? They probably won't have that exact hookah, but a lot of them have KMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yashman19 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I like the hookah a lot, but man it seems really top heavy. Maybe if the base was larger, or at least wider, I'd feel safer from it getting pulled over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_cool Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hmm thats odd, a year ago I ordered a 40inch KM Exotica from MNH and I think i payed about 70 quid in total with shipping. The hookah was 70/80 dollars or so. It might just be that the hookah is too heavy, try a diff vendor like HJ, see the quotes for shipping on a similar sized hookah.

I will be sending a PM your way if you need anything let me know man this is why I love HF! As for the Ra how would you say it smokes? Yeah I figured cleaning may be a hassle, however a soak in the bathtub and a good brushing should do the trick right ? And the base, how sturdy is is? Do you recommend I get another?

Thanks a billion again!Mr.ShishaI have a large KM and a small KM. The difference is slight, but they both smoke better than any other pipe I have. You'll be plenty happy with the Ra. Cleaning a large KM is a bitch, but if you don't mind taking it to the bath tub to wash it out, it isn't too big of a problem. Just be aware that it's 46'' tall. If you normally put your hookah on a table, it'll be monstrous. When I smoke with my large KM, I take the top off of my coffee table (it's removable) and put it on the floor, so my hookah isn't 2 feet taller.

mr.shisha Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 Thanks Zinite! Yeahh I go a tad anal when cleaning my hookah anyway I wouldn't mind giving the KM a good scrub down. Yeah I'm used to table top smoking with my Bambino, but don't mind placing the KM on the floor so long as it's sturdy. I'll probably look for another base but other than that, I think this bad boy is set to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some bases are a little wobbly, and that would be no good on such a top heavy hookah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mya openings are smaller I believe.EDIT: No, it won't fit. Mya vases are 1.5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
