Chreees Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Went by UPS and picked it up on my way to work... I'm in love. I think even more so than I loved my OG Trimetal. It's just so sexy, and I even like the red glitter vase more than I thought I would. For $55 I feel like I stole it. It's kinda dirty, so I'm gonna clean it up tomorrow afternoon and smoke it and will take more pics. Normal KM craftmanship- there's noticeable unclean welds and whatnot, but one little crack has me worried... It's right where the purge meets the heart, shown in the pic. I'll investigate it further for airtightness tomorrow. I took these pics in the car right after opening it. Also, they threw in a red vase protector. Sweet! Anyway, I know all you care about is the pics... Here ya go: [IMG]http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p40/INCUBUSRATM/Random/DSC01029.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p40/INCUBUSRATM/Random/DSC01030.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p40/INCUBUSRATM/Random/DSC01031.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p40/INCUBUSRATM/Random/DSC01032.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p40/INCUBUSRATM/Random/DSC01033.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p40/INCUBUSRATM/Random/DSC01034.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p40/INCUBUSRATM/Random/DSC01035.jpg[/IMG] Oh, and Jay's package also arrived so now I have a good few Fusion samples to try and I'm also now fully stocked on coals with the CH Nats and Exoticas he sent me, along with the CCNs I got along with the KM.

Gotta rip apart the Nammor, lol. The handle arrives tomorrow, and I'll be ripping apart the Nammor Friday night on Tinychat on webcam, so tune in. Probably around midnight central time, when I'm at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delSol_si Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Congrats man, that combo turned out really nice! Hopefully we will both be available tomorrow so I can walk you through putting the final touches on that hose. I'm glad you are happy with the hookah, did it end up coming with the gasket?? Try putting your camera on marco mode then taking a pic of the questionable crack, can't really tell from the photo. If nothing else, you can stick a piece of gum on it (actually if there is a problem, im sure walt could tell you how to easily fix it, lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be available Friday and Saturday nights after 11:30PM central to get on cam while I'm here at work. I'll bring the hose with me. Any special tools or anything I should bring as well? It did come with a gasket, size 26 it says. Kinda loose, somewhat. Still seems airtight, but the stem wobbles quite a bit. No macro setting on my Sony Ericsson 5MP cell phone camera... FAIL. I think if it is a problem, I can take some solder to it using a solder gun? I wish I hadn't left it at my gf's parents house three hours away...

boludo Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Very nice. I know a few people in the forum don't like the pears because they are not too heavy; I, on the other hand, love them. I probably smoke more out of my pear than my trimetal. And when people come to my house to smoke, they always want to smoke out of the pear (they say it looks prettier). Congrats on the KM. I am sure you will enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delSol_si Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 damn, thats a sexy hookah. looks like that handle matches it decently enough, imo. i think once we can get that tip to fit better, it should work nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
