alexander Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I got really bored today, and decided to give my KM a polish. $2 at Lowes and a little bit of time resulted in this: Before: [img]http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x378/alexandershipp/DSC01830.jpg[/img] [img]http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x378/alexandershipp/DSC01831.jpg[/img] After: [img]http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x378/alexandershipp/DSC01833.jpg[/img] [img]http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x378/alexandershipp/DSC01835.jpg[/img] It's like a brand new hookah, it's a shame I don't have any coals or shisha left. Good thing there's over a kilo coming tomorrow from John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 It's my baby!!!! How she treatin' ya man? I got another one... Here it is all polished up: [IMG]http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p40/INCUBUSRATM/Hookah/IMG_0230.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p40/INCUBUSRATM/Hookah/IMG_0222.jpg[/IMG] This one originally came from Eric's lounge in San Diego. It's about 2-3 years old. Bought it from the guy who bought it there. I really missed that OG Tri, and so glad I have another one. They truly are amazing pipes. Yours looks great all shined up. I hope it continues to serve you well. What shisha and coals do you have coming in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Oh, and here's pics of your hookah when I had it, when it was basically brand new: [IMG]http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p40/INCUBUSRATM/Hookah/DSC00861.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p40/INCUBUSRATM/Hookah/DSC00864.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Oh, and can you do something for me? Look on the bottom part of the tray rest and see if there's a number imprinted there... like this: [IMG]http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p40/INCUBUSRATM/Hookah/IMG_0197.jpg[/IMG] Mine has a number 5. Apparently KM put these on some models. Wondering if yours has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 She's still going strong man. The base has seen better days, but I'm not really surprised that it's gotten all scratched up. As long as it's not broken, though, I'm happy. I was browsing through the "show your stuff" section and saw the pictures of this thing when I got it from you, it really inspired me to get it all cleaned up again. haha. Man, your new one is gorgeous as well. Do all the OG tri's have the straight hose port? I'd really like it if it was angled up a little bit, my narbish makes it lean a tad bit. Tomorrow I have some Noir K-peach, Noir M-cherry, Noir Lemon-lime, F-Line Spearmint, Nakhla Mizo Mint, an Alien Mini-phunnel, and a big box of Cocos coming. I'm also getting a small box of Johns naturals, I've used (and loved) his QLs before, but I figured I'd try the nats. For $5/48 coals, why not? Turns out there is a number on the bottom of the tray rest! I always thought it was a little defect so I never payed attention to it. Mine is a 4. Any idea what it means?

Chreees Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 The hose ports differ on KMs... I'm not a fan of when they stick out horizontally. Nice order! Sounds like you're set for a good while man. The number on the KM is a workman identifier probably, according to Eric of Tangiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Yeah, the straight purge valve works better than the china-hat ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Click Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I just checked mine. No number on the bottom of the tray. And my hose port is quite a bit more angled than both of yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexander Posted December 3, 2010 Author Share Posted December 3, 2010 Update: The Alien is awesome, and so is New Lemon-Lime. Spearmint and M-cherry smell amazing too, i can't wait to try them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
