KeepItSimple Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 So this local hookah bar, Hookups, is selling this for $100 flat. I'm looking online and it looks like thats gonna be cheaper than ordering it over the internet, plus then i can take it back to them if there is a problem, and no shipping costs. It's brand new, not used, still in the box. He opened it up so I could look at it. It's the same color, hose, everything. I love the look and I want it, I also wanted your opinions about this. The good, bad, whatever... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 It's a good hookah and smokes just as well as any other KM, MYA, MZ, Temsah, etc. I own one and use it the most out of my hookahs because it's easier to clean as it's shorter than my OG tri-metal and I don't really care what happens to it. It is lighter than most KMs, which could lead people to say it's cheaply made, but it smokes just fine and I have not had a single problem with it functionally or aesthetically.

Chreees Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Get it. But try to talk him down first... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Ya...see if yo ucan haggle him a bit. If not, if YOU think it's worth it get it. A few things to check though... 1) check the welds. Make sure there are no gaps or cracks. Pay extra attention to the hose port. 2) make sure it has a ball in the valve..don't laugh it can happen to you. 3) turn the stem over and make sure there is nothing blocking the holes to the hose and purge valve. 4) put it together, block the top with your hand and try to draw directly on the hose port. This is to make sure the hookah is air tight. 5) make sure ALL the gaskets/grommets are there and in good condition. Other than that it looks good to me.

no longer welcome Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 hookaups! i know that place, i won't advise you on pricing but will say he's an ok guy, good luck, that's a really good pipe and you'll be happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename067 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 A very nice KM. I wouldn't hesitate. Like Mush mentioned, check everything, make sure you find something on the stem that will give you a few bargening chips. Push him down as much as you can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff_T Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I've got that same KM Green Pear. It smokes great, like any other KM would, but like others have said it's a bit lighter than other KM stems I've come across. It is quite easy to clean and purges great (again, like any other KM I've used). I got mine at Cafe Istanbul in Tempe, AZ for like $75 with some accessories and a pack of shisha, so I'd see if the seller is negotiable with the price. It's a great pipe, but I don't think I'd spend $100 on it. And +1 to everything Mush said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
