Emberke202 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 So i wanna buy a km but im considering ordering from the states only a stem, and buy a glass locally.Is the km km because of the stem? or is the glass special as well?thanks.

Zinite Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 It's the stem. Even the glass vases that say 'Khalil Mamoon' aren't special. The glass is outsourced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 The glasses are terrible as of late. You'd do better going to Czech Republic and buying one there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename067 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Mostly the stemThe bases have not been as great as before, perhas they are producing them a little too fast, or they just don't care, but still they are half decent. It all comes down to the stem. W hen I buy a KM, I buy it for the stem 90% of the time. I always switch bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atticus Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Here's a multi-hose KM. It's for 3 actually. I haven't smoked one, but I think around here the consensus is generally stick with a one hose. But if its your thing, go for it.http://www.hookahcompany.com/32_medusa_thr...h_4244_prd1.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At $163.46 with shipping, it looks like it might be a winner. I'll do some shopping around. Hopefully, I can find a good quality hookah with 2 hoses that will last for a long time.

But it is a very negligible.No matter what one you get, they will all smoke great, but some do have peeling issues and what not, it all depends on who made it and how much they cared that day.I've had 6 different KM's and 1 had a crooked ice bucket, and another had a slight peeling issue, not a big deal though.I recommend staying away from the small small km's it is like BMW to their 4 cylinders, KM could give two shits about their small pipes. Say 23 inches and lower, whatever size the small km Heart of a lion is. I had one of those and it was a piece of junk.Go bigger Mid 20's and up, and i recomend a tri metal, they feel more solid than the all steel ones.

That Heart of Lion trimetal has been discontinued and replaced with a newer one that has a thinner copper center section and the same stem parts as the Pharonie instead of the Basha like the original.
