JOE Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 looks like an exotica to me. and it looks legit, thats a rare vase i'd say. and caravan is a reputable ebay seller. a few people here have ordered from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Get it! Might have to upgrade the hose, but the pipe itself should treat you well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikefu Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I bought a Km caramana from them, it is legit. I think what they do is buy the stems and trays from Km and then fit it to a generic Egyptian base and hose, with a standard clay bowl. Since km doesn't make their own vases anyway, you are getting an almost complete legit Km, sans hose, for the price of just the stem from anywhere else I've seen. The one i have fits together very well, plus they threw in a couple extra hose and bowl grommets, some crappy tongs, mouth piece covers, 2 cleaning brushes, some herbal shisha, and a puppy. Ok, no puppy. But even without the puppy i was very happy. Do it. Do it now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainUM Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 great to hear, cause i wasn't sure whether or not it should say the name on the base or not cause i've seen a lot of them like that, but wasn't sure if that was standard or not. any other ways to tell it is a KM? like signature things they do with them?

rcracer_tx Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 The hookah looks like a KM exotica as others have said... One thing worth mentioning is KM bases are dog crap. My room mate had that same base and within a month most of the color had flaked off because KM is too cheap to do it right and actually stain the glass.

IainUM Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 the base is a minor thing if the paint comes off. mainly i just want it to smoke really well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Hey man, if your vase's paint does all fall off, you can always do what I did...

The paint FELL off without me even washing it. Wasn't pleased at all, so the place I bought it from sent me another vase free, but a different kind. I sold it on here but it came back undeliverable, and it was also broken. The guy I sold it to never got back with me, so free money for me.
