mortifiedpenguin Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Hey everyone, I'm looking at upgrading my hookah, but I'm having trouble deciding between the Nammor Ramses III and the KM Tall. The price difference doesn't matter that much to me. Any thoughts? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 They'll both smoke the same, so ultimately it's up to what you find more aesthetically pleasing. Personally I'd choose the Nammor Rameses III simply for the fact it's shorter, and will be much easier to clean than the other one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epoch Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Ramses III. My personal favorite hookah. It's a 29' pipe, and it's difficult to clean as is. Getting that KM into a sink and finding a brush for it would be a huge pain. Another plus is that it comes with a washable hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortifiedpenguin Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 Thanks for the reply! Yeah, I imagine cleaning would be a big issue with the taller one. I could clean it in a tub or something though right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizzbizz Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I say go for the KM Tall. It'll be epic at parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainUM Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 if you have a gardening hose you can wash the long pipes with that. when you are buying the pipe i'm pretty sure you get free brushes's with www.hookah-shisha.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 dang, the tall one is damn cool, but id be afraid everytime someone pulled too hard on the hose or walked by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king_lunchb0x Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 personally i would go with ramses III... be able to clean with out having to wash it in ur bath tub...and the ramses will not be as top heavy like mush said...one little pull and that km could come crashing down so easily. but thats just what i think..they both look nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Haha! That it would be. That's a good selling point on its own! Portability isn't a strongpoint for any of these, and that's not a concern of mine.

[/quote] That's true. Though the group I smoke with is pretty calm and we take our time enjoying the session so I'm not too worried about that. I don't smoke very much (~2 times a month), so I give my hookah a good cleaning after every session (usually 2-3 bowls). And I wouldn't mind the extra cleaning time for these beauties. It's going to be a tough decision! That's for sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuie Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I would go with the Ramses. I just got one. I need to wash it and set it up and give it ago, but all the nammors I have tried are great. I have never liked anything very much over 34" i think is my limit. Get's into stability issues with a super low center of gravity. If you were considering a KM they have one they call the Original Trimetal [url="http://www.hookah-shisha.com/p-5095-khalil-mamoon-hookah-trimetal-1-hose-hookah.html"]http://www.hookah-sh...ose-hookah.html[/url] But we all know better. But that's an apple to apple comparison. There's a Medium KM Trimetal, also. Personally between the 2 you picked... Nammor. Compared to the Smaller trimetal, Still nammor. They will smoke on par with each other, major difference is one has brand recognition and the other does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortifiedpenguin Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 Hmm.. that sounds reasonable. Are there any other hookahs then, that you would recommend in place of one of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyCallMeDave Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Any of the KM or nammors will probably suit you well, they all have similar structure... However, I find some of the nammor models (such as the cleopatra) to be much more attractive than some of the other KMs. Since your eye seems to be on something trimetal, I would look at all of the hookahs made by Nammor, Khalil Mamoon or Temsah (I'm pretty sure hookahcompany.com only sells these.. Their trimetals are ust as flashy, but have some problems compared to the other two. If you want a brass hookah though, this is definently the way to go in terms of egyptians.) Here are a couple of tri metals that always caught my eye: [url="http://www.hookah-shisha.com/p-5983-Cleopatra-Nammor-Hookah.html"]http://www.hookah-shisha.com/p-5983-Cleopatra-Nammor-Hookah.html[/url] [url="http://www.hookahcompany.com/basha_green_khalil_mamoon_hookah_5269_prd1.htm"]http://www.hookahcompany.com/basha_green_khalil_mamoon_hookah_5269_prd1.htm[/url] [url="http://www.hookahcompany.com/33_pharonie_khalil_mamoon_hookah_4845_prd1.htm"]http://www.hookahcompany.com/33_pharonie_khalil_mamoon_hookah_4845_prd1.htm[/url] [url="http://hookahjohn.com/2011KM-Quadmetal-White-Golden-Eye-2011KMQuadWG.htm"]http://hookahjohn.com/2011KM-Quadmetal-White-Golden-Eye-2011KMQuadWG.htm[/url] ^^^^^^If you really want to isually indulge and price is no object, (150) the quadmetals are mighty purdy in my opinion. Keep in mind, as said, at this point in quality and selection, 95% of the egyptian pipes will all smoke really well, and all the same. It's up to you now to factor in cost, visuals, possible accident scenarios, cleaning, etc. These are just some of my personal eye candies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortifiedpenguin Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 Wow.. the Cleopatra looks amazing as well. I was hoping to order from H-S, but that Quad metal... amazing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortifiedpenguin Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 I'm leaning towards the Ramses III though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epoch Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Any KM or Nammor should treat you great. Good luck picking a favorite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyMojo Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 (edited) H-S are price and shipping gougers. IMHO Get a KM from a differnet vendor. Nammor is a rebranded KM. H-S will get in your pockets big time. I'd look into BANNED VENDOR, George at Hookahcompany, John at Hookahjohn or even Mark at hookahset for a hookup. My experience is Hookah-Shisha is geared for full retail and you will pay full boat on price and especially shipping.(I've never paid more for shipping from any other vendor of anything) Nice website though.
