herbalsmoke Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 So its about time i upgraded and bought a new hookah. im tired of buying cheap china hookahs, so this time imma invest into a really good one that will last. I was looking into buying a KM original trimetal for $130 from 5starhookah they offer me good prices to ship to canada. But i was wondering if the caravan hookahs are any good, they are cheaper then KM. or if a Mya hookah would be a better idea? i dont think i will be willing to spend over 180$-200$ on a new hookah.

Chreees Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 The KM is an excellent choice and I think you won't regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbalsmoke Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 Thankyou, do you know if the KM will rust? because i have a lot of problems of my old hookahs rusting. And they rust within a month of use. I always use paper towel to dry my hookah after i wash it and i leave it in the dish washer for any remaining water to drip down.

king_lunchb0x Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 kms are great full size hookahs, ,mine hasn't rusted yet and i smoked from it for 2-3 years using almost daily. The price can be a little steep. Myas are great as long as you don't get the "econo" line. They rust and gum up like hell.Caravan hookas look like standard Egyptian style, not sure about the quality. Honestly I think the Km for 130$ shipped canada is a pretty good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbalsmoke Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 Alright, thankyou guys. I think imma go ahead and put in the order for the trimetal soon =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Yep, won't rust. Take care of it and it'll take care of you. You will love it once you smoke it. Best hookah decision you'll ever make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so jelly! Congrats on your pipe though! Great choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joytron Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Copper and brass both oxidize quickly so to a certain degree they do "rust", although its really not the same as iron oxide. If you get a try metal make sure to keep your pipe clean.

Afterwards i would dry it with paper towel and leave it in the dish washer for the rest of the water to dry. (also thankyou for the link, but that online vendor will charge me more then 60$ in shipping. 5starhookah would still be cheaper) Edited September 21, 2011 by herbalsmoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a little while, the color may get dull and you'll want to pick up some brass polish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omegaalpha22 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Definitely have some brass polish on you, I love anything KM. (I own quite a few...including my baby, my Admiral with a Nizbor Bohemian Crystal base on it) What I like to do is wash my hookahs with soap and water biweekly, but after I'm done smoking out of a hookah, I always run water through it. You'll definitely love the tri-metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grock Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 OmegaAlpha, Im curious, what type of soap do you use? I normally just rinse with water/baking soda/lemon juice/water in that order. Occasionally when I clean the vase, I might use some dish soap, but thats about it. Do you soak with soap or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omegaalpha22 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I'd use normal dish soap...no I don't soak. Just run it through and rinse. IF it's really bad, I'll do waterlemon juice/vinegar soak. The thing is I may do it bimonthly. Rinsing out your hookah and vase with water after every use is great for avoiding cleaning.

atalanta Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 LOL these are pretty funny. the "waterlemon juice" I was wondering how "watermelon juice" would clean a hookah too. Hey, I still have my mya on the dish rack (no dishwasher here) because I have NOT had time to take it for it's maiden voyage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
