Khalil Mamoon Double Pear 41"


Recommended Posts

honestly, NoB is right. it's a KM...smokes just about the same as another KM.

Here's a general pro/con of KMs

Pro
1. Loose pull
2. Solid Construction (some have brass hearts)
3. Excellent purge
4. 3in or more gained on your e-peen
5. Handmade if you're into that sorta thing

Cons
1. Handmade...there may be some flaws in the welds, jug, etc. A few of my KM stems don't sit straight on the jug.
2. Price is steadily going up up up!

One problem with some KMs is they're just too stinkin tall for their own good. My KM Exotica is huge, and wobbly.. and I've tried several base gaskets, but none of them really keep the pipe from wobbling around on the base. I've also tried wrapping tape around the heart to make the gasket hold thicker, but it still wobbles. My KM Sig Ice doesn't wobble, but the Exotica sure does. I think this needs a big heavy base. I should search around for one. A Mya Pyramid base or something, though the downstem is too long for it.

My tall Exotica doesn't wobble at all, everything is stable! I dont get what you mean is wobbling? The downstem in the base? So the jar/vase/base is stable but the whole stem within it is moving? Try wrapping a wet kitchen town (tissue) around the gasket/grommet to make it a tighter fit in order to keep the stem in one place.

I dont see why you would need a heavy base if this was the case, unless you mean the base wobbles. If it does, get a base protector, my KM came with one and its stable!

Common guys, it's a KM! We all know the Pros, and the Cons [Which never effect performance]!

They are 99% the same!

Except the Zakiy of course! :)

Zakiy are awesome hookahs, better than a regular KM in my opinion. I own one, absolutely great. I was actually kinda joking with my comment, I just really like mine...i think it is awesome to have the option for ice in the bucket...ya, it really doesn't do a whole hell of a lot, but it is still nice to at least have the option if i want it...plus i just like the looks of the ice bucket. You will not be disappointed with it. I know Codename has a few of them and I think its one of his top rated hookahs...at least i think....i know it is the one he used in his vids.

Well, I own the Aqua Zakiy [I like to write it Zakey], but everything thats out on the market right now is "Standard" Zakey.

They write that because an earlier line existed, the Aqua of course. Extremely rare today, and I don't think that they even make it anymore. I just hope who ever has it knows the difference between the Aqua and the Standard [Which is rather hard to an untrained eye].

The rest of my hookahs with ice chambers are Chillers.



Just thought I'd share that.

PS: And you are right T, I smoke my Aqua Zakey more than any other Hookah I have. 5+ years now.

Well, now that this has become a zakiy discussion, maybe you can tell me if this is actually a [url="http://www.hookahcompany.com/zakiy_arabesh_km_hookah_4604_prd1.htm"]KM Ice[/url]?

I ordered my [url="http://www.thehookahcentral.com/shop-mainmenu-26.html?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_images.tpl&product_id=76&category_id=6"]zakiy[/url] from you guys and it's about 5 inches taller so maybe you could clarify this for me?

The Zakiy you got from us is 38", so it's 3 inches taller than this Ice one, not 5".


Yes, those were called Ice/Chiller by some websites, I believe GotHookahs.com listed them as Ice/Chiller, I am not certain though.

38" > 35" any day.

I have a KM Double Pear Green, very sexy pipe to look at. Only complaint is that the gourmet they gave me was to small so it was leaning very badly!

I use another gourmet I have but it still was leaning, I took off the gourmet and wraped electrical tape around the metal part a few times and stuck the gourmet back on, now its near enough straight.

I turned a bender straight hahaha!
