My New Km!


Recommended Posts

Just got my order in from John... can of Nakhla Sweet Melon, 250g of Mizo Watermelon and this bad boy. I'm impressed with how it smokes, and the Narbish hose is amazing! Very impressed with the KM.

Any tips? Edited by cnygaard

to omit pics of a kilo tin of sweet melon is sin.

Awesome looking pipe. Have you tried the can of sweet melon yet? I've been so close to placing an order with that in it, but just haven't got all the money together. Is it a lot juicier than box Nakhla?

Yeah gotta love the dorm room setup... we get by haha.

I only got a 250g can of sweet melon... have not smoked it yet. Popped it's cherry on a mixture of Tangiers Schnozzberry, Mint and Passion Fruit. Took it to a friend's and did some Mizo Watermelon and Guava. The sweet melon does seem juicier than the 50g Nakhla samples John threw in. I've only bought the Mizo line until now, so we'll see how the guys like it.

I must say, this thing hits way better than my crappy Havana, and even outshines the Mini Mya Acrylic we own. Gonna need to get some polish to make it look a bit better. The Narbish hose really makes a difference. My Mya hoses feel like small straws compared to it! After 1.5 yrs of owning a multitude of hookahs, I've finally seen the light. And I thought a Phunnel on my Havana was good!

I'll try to get a smoking pic up next time we light up. Thanks for all the knowledge. I mostly lurk, but I've learned a lot in the past few months, which has made my sessions last much longer (mostly thanks to the Phunnel), and heat management comes much easier. I'm becoming obsessed laugh.gif

noice. enjoy.

about shining the pipe. a much cheaper alternative, as well as much easier and less toxic is to just cut a lemon in half, douse the exposed half in salt and rub all over your stem wink.gif just rinse and dry when you're done and it should get your trimetal looking tip-top.

you're welcome for the tip.

So tried out the sweet melon for the first time... didn't have that great of an experience with it in my Tangiers phunnel. I think it's a heat management issue. I use CH QL coals and a ghetto foil windcover. Two coals with the windcover gave good clouds, but a harsh feeling on my throat. One coal and the windcover was OK, but not that good of clouds. Two coals without the windcover was alright, but got harsh after a few minutes. One coal without the windcover was useless. I packed the bowl a tad bit loser than tangiers, and use two layers of regular Reynolds foil. Any tips?

I didn't realize you were in a dorm until you said something...I should have noticed though, I've been living dorm style for 2 years now. How do you get away with smoking in your dorm??? I really want to but am afraid of getting caught, I can't afford the fine.

We put a plastic bag over the smoke detector (its not a battery based one, hard wired into the system, we live in a nice dorm), wet towel underneath the door, run a fan by the door pointing towards the window and the window open. The weather in Indiana right now is cold so it does make the room a bit chilly. Before we never used a wet towel and depending on the flavor some smell would leak in the hall, but the wet towel seems to have taken care of it. With it being 20 something outside, theres no way we're gonna have a session we're used to. It's much nicer bein able to watch a movie or some TV, maybe play some xbox and have a bowl goin.
