vanektar Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Hi there, I'm looking to buy my first good hookah, and since i can't afford spending a lot of money right now, i ended up on this one: [url="http://www.hookahshop.co.uk/shabi-traditional-by-khalil-mamoon-blue-28-inch-p-2679.html"]http://www.hookahsho...nch-p-2679.html[/url] I would like to hear an expert's opinion first, though. So what do you think? P.S.: What i really wanted is a mini Farida from Nazzar, but the shipping costs to my country is way too much (about 60$, plus the customhouse might raise the budget more... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Look up the KM Amer. That's what that pipe is commonly known as here in the US. Here are the reviews on it here on the forum (rather lacking, I'm sure more can be found by Googling): http://www.hookahforum.com/topic/40793-khalil-mamoon-amer/ In other words, yes, I would recommend it. That is a nice looking base as well, I think. Neat hose; never seen it before. I can't convert the price, but if it's priced fairly and you like it, I'd say it's a safe purchase.

vanektar Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 Ok thanks a lot Chreees! The reviews were very helpful as well... It's price is 99$ (shipping costs included). It's a very good price for European citizens who want a KM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 No problem! $99 is a bit higher than they tend to go for here in the States when I see them (typically around $60-80), as they're a lower-end KM model, but it is a good one that you should be very happy with. Then again, that's $60-80 PLUS shipping here, so may not be all that bad really... I say go for it if you like the way it looks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavo21 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 thats a pretty nice little KM any km is a good hookah to be honest sometimes they have little flaws but u learn to love them it gives it character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epoch Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I would never not recommend a KM for a new smoker. Welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanektar Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Thanks for your answers! Unfortunatelly the vendror didn't reply to my mail (was sent 3 days ago - Thursday evening), so he lets me no option but to look elsewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] why? the way i thought of a hookah is always, that it is easier to smoke a good hookah with getting decent smoke and learning, then it is to get a bad hookah to smoke well. which would require the more experienced smoker. I say go for the km. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that sentiment. There are a lot of great pipes out there besides KM, and the majority of them will do just fine for a new smoker.

Pavo21 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 there are also many other hookahs out there KM is a fairly priced product and is a good quality but if u want something small that works like a beast there is always Mya which i personally enjoy my self they are coming out with new looks and style and colors all the time i personally have 6 myas that i smoke with regularly a good cheap hookah is the Mya Mozza and the perk to those is it like a "hobo" pipe if your vase for some odd reason doens't work or broke you can use any empty clean alcohol bottle like wine bottle or hard alcohol bottle and use that i've seen many people even modify it to use other objects for bases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanektar Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) Yeah Pavo i've heard very good things about Mya, just I've already decided to go for a KM for my first quality purchase... Maybe it's because i have already suffered a bit with my cheap hookah! lol What about this KM trimetal - i really like it: [url="http://www.myshisha.co.uk/apps/webstore/products/show/2900177"]http://www.myshisha....ts/show/2900177[/url] 55 pounds = 88 bucks Edited April 3, 2012 by vanektar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
