Got the hookah and found that it was - pretty much destroyed the base grommet that was on there. So I ordered a modern pyramid base from socialsmoke. To quote the review I read, the heart portion of my AF stem is 1.5", the diameter of the AF base is ~1.675". The pyramid base has a diameter of 1.875". I was worried it was gonna be too big, but I took the stem and new base to a local smoke shop and they fitted a new grommet over the half-destroyed factory one and the fit is perfect. Plus, with a pyramid base on it now, it's SUPER stable. Buddy of mine jerked the narbish and actually pulled it out of the port instead of knocking the hookah over.Also, found out that my purge valve is really tight on there - I'm gonna have to take a pair of channel lock pliers to it tomorrow night to get the damned thing off. Should they be on there that tight?even the larger AF hookahs have a tight purge think its just the way there made, its all good though they smoke like championsYep, I can't remove my purge valve by hand, that's for sure.oh im sorry i meant that when purging the base its a little tight not likt my KM lol but yes the first time getting it off it a little bit of a bitch lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying your KM purges better? If that's the case, my friend has a KM, me an AF. They both purge well. I like both. No problems with either.
