momatik Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) Performance wise, they will all smoke practically the same.Personally though, I'm partial to KM Exoticashttp://hookahjohn.com/product.sc?productId...mp;categoryId=8 Edited November 11, 2009 by momatik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 The answer's obvious...KM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The KMs are great pipes, but those AF Syrians are not only beautiful, they are cheaper too. I havent smoked out of one, but would love to pick one up.

NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 if you wana be different get the af syrian, but performance wise you will not be dissapointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 These guys speak the truth... Both pipes smoke about the same (I've had both). I just prefer the KM aesthetic-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SloppyJoe Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I have an al fakher 36" now and love it. I'm planning on getting a KM next month. Either one. It's all about price, and looks. Whatever you like, they both smoke great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benny Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) i have a KM double trimetal (as per dp) and a small AF hookah..I have to say the KM hands down beats the pants off the AF..I paid $120AUD for the AF and $150AUD for the KM..The difference in cost, was well worth it IMO.The AF's dont seal as well between the stem and vase, the downpipe is too short, and the hose just doesnt match a KM hose!Not to mention the diameter of the KM is significantly wider then the af...!

Helix746 Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 if it comes down to looks i think i would have to go af syrian i love gold work on the stem. But the only thing that deters me is having the name brand on the vase. does anyone know if one of johns new large km vases would fit an af syrian cus those new vases look awesome.also whats the difference between the af light and solid, just the weight of the stem? if so whats better about heavier or lighter stems?

Santino Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I own several KM's and the AF syrian large solid.. and I would go for the AF. It is easily my favorite hookah and provides the most effortless draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Universal Magnetic Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 i have a 30" AF Solid and i love it. if i were to get a KM right now id go with the PHARONIE, the all brass downstem is badass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antouwan Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 also, i have 4 KMs and 1 nour syrian. granted, the nours aren't AF syrians, but i think they're pretty close. i think the number of pipes i was willing to invest in shows where i stand. i personally like the looks and the function and rumble of the km's more. especially when they're done up right with a good hose and a quality bohemian base.

Arcane Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 i'd get a KM....i'm not a fan of syrian, but i own two of them. the quality on both are horrible. the draw on the H-S Glyph i have is about on par with a Mya...maybe slightly looser. too bad i started falling apart after 1 session.the other syrian i have is an 36" AF Solid....i haven't used it yet, because the stem seems to be falling apart already. i'm just trying to avoid having another busted syrian.i have 7 KM's and every single one is solid with no signs of failing any time soon...the only bad part is i like the look of syrians better...egyptians are beautiful too, but the intricacy of syrian design is woooooo! but, i'd rather have a great looking hookah for years than a gorgeous hookah for days...

delSol_si Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I say get both! I have a 34" KM ice and a 36" AF solid 1st gen, which is the same thing sloppyjoe has (I sold him one, ) Arcane has the 2nd gen, which from what I understand, aren't as good. Between the two, I feel they both smoke about the same. I use my KM more though cause it is more portable and easier to clean...Oh, if you go wtih the AF, be sure to buy vase to stem gasket with it, the ones that come on them suck...well so do the hoses and bowls they come with.
