mint Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 [font="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"] So, I got my new hookah order from John today! I actually didn't expect it to come in this fast..I was amazed! It came so early in the morning that I opened it and then went back to bed....[/font] [font="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"] [/font] [font="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"] When I woke up, I found my dog Chester examining the products..

I made a Lucid mix of Classic Rasp and Mint and it was wonderful. This was the first time I have ever used a hose that wasn't a Mya hose and the pull and feel was completely different and wonderful. I now realize why the KMs have so much hype, they're beautiful and provide such a different level of smoking hookah. Ahh, and John's service/products were great, he even sent me a sample of his natural coals which are amazing too![/font] [font="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"] [/font] [font="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"] [/font] [font="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"] [/font] [font="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"] [/font] [font="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"] [/font] [font="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"] [/font] [font="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"] [/font] [font="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"]Oh...and I think Chester really, really likes the base.[/font] [font="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][img]http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/233/dscf0054z.jpg[/img][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delSol_si Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 oh, and watch those coals..you have them sticking really far off the edge of the bowl and I notice you floor is carpet....slightest bump or crackled in the coals will result in some nasty burns...and yes, sometimes coals pop if they have a little air pocket in them.

[/quote] Ahh, good point. I keep them to the side because I think that the naturals burn a little too hot for my liking. But I like all the smoke..so I keep using two, just off to the side and then slowly move them inwards and around as they get smaller!

[/quote] yeah a regular kitchen knife, just one you don't particularly like or that wasn't expensive. put the knife in the middle, hold it steady and whack the hell out of it. also, you should probably do it outside or in a bag if you can't do it outside because some of the coal dust likes to go everywhere and can be quite messy.

mint Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 Aha, doesn't sound too hard, I'll be trying that later tonight! Thanks! Also, does anyone know of how I can stop the base from being wobbly? It's a bit unstable so I've been super careful with it, even though it is really heavy.

[/quote] if you're smoking on hardwood or some other flat surface and it's wobbly just be careful or pull the old napkins on one side i guess :/ egyptian bases can be like that – unevenly blown that is. if you're smoking on carpet but the base is even and stable otherwise then just put it on something. my cousins use a gigantic tray that's like the size of a pretty big paella pan. a baking sheet would work the same, or just a normal tray if you have one i think.

Base protector is an option... but cheaper option... Throw a towel down, and before you set it up put it on the towel and gently rock it and twist it till it build a level place. I smoke with towels under all my km's now, just habit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 Great! Thanks Stuie and atouwan, I'll be trying those tricks later because I smoke on both hardwood floor and a very flat area rug. Oh, and also, how many halves of the natural coals do you guys use? I think 2 would definitely be enough for me. And is a windcover a good investment?

Arcane Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Neha...i think i still have a few base protectors laying around. I'll send you one...but, i think they might be blue o.O if not, i vote the napkin trick... normally, John includes a base protector with his hookahs...you didn't get one?

no longer welcome Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 also, too lower the heat on the nats, just lay them on their sides rather than flat, that way less space is exposed to heat, nice rig, glad you like, thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antouwan Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 as for nat halves, i use 4 on a small phunnel for things like nak and some AF. on lucid and other AF i start it up with 4 and then usually go down to three and then put the 4th on as the coals start dying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I have found that natural coals cut a LOT easier when they are already lit. I usually light mine and then cut them in a ceramic bowl with a sharp knife and it only takes a little bit of force.

So here's my corrected post: Really nice order girl! lol EDIT: I don't score my coals when cutting in half... I just place the knife over the middle of the coal and hit the top of the knife with a hammer. Cuts perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
