Crhiss Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 What's up guys. My name is Chris. I've been lurking around for about a month now but I decided I would finally make an account to further my knowledge about hookahs and smoking. I've been smoking hookah since I was about 15 and immediately fell in love. A buddy of mine gave me my first pos pumpkin base hookah when I was 16 and I had it for 2 years smoking it about twice a month or so. Never really looked up anything about hookahs or went out to hookah bars/lounges. Just went to my local head shop and got easy lite coals and some fantasia shisha every now and again. Anyways, on to my question. I've been in search of a new hookah. I really like the KM Tri-metals and the KM Classic Ice hookahs (pretty much narrowed down to these). When doing my research I came across a random forum post (don't know which website) and someone said that KM actually do not make Ice chamber pipes and that they are intact rip offs. Is that true? I want a true KM hookah. What is a good website to order a hookah that I know is a real brand name one and not a fake. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cp44 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Welcome to HF! Ice chambers isn't all that great anyways so I wouldn't worry about it. There are quite a few vendors on here that sells great hookahs especially KMs, check out 5starhookah.com, hookah-shisha.com and hookahjohn.com. Go here for Vendor reviews. http://www.hookahforum.com/forum/17-vendor-reviews/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crhiss Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 So you would go with the trimetal? I appreciate the fast response. Also, do you have any experience with the KM pipes rusting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Khalil Mamoon does in fact make hookahs with ice chambers, so whoever said they were ripoffs didn't know what they were talking about. Keep in mind though that the ice chambers are more for aesthetics than functionality, though. People who have owned or tried them with ice in the chamber said they didn't notice a significantly cooler smoke. I think you'd be better off putting ice in your base along with the water, honestly. I don't even do that, though, as I prefer room temperature water while smoking (ice kills flavor, IMO). The vendor reviews Aaron linked should give you a good idea of where to look, but here's some links to what I found in the way of good sites that sell KMs, ice chamber ones and others: Hookah-Shisha.com: [url="http://www.hookah-shisha.com/c-522-khalil-mamoon-hookahs.html"]http://www.hookah-sh...on-hookahs.html[/url] 5StarHookah.com: [url="http://5starhookah.com/Khalil-Mamoon_c12.htm"]http://5starhookah.c...-Mamoon_c12.htm[/url] UltimateHookah.com: [url="http://ultimatehookah.com/Khalil-Mamoon-Hookahs_c23.htm"]http://ultimatehooka...Hookahs_c23.htm[/url] KMs won't rust as long you take good care of them. Good luck and hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cp44 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Trimetals are good but I like my Kafae which are good and cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crhiss Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 I actually can't find any 32" Tri-metals I see a lot of people using. I might just be blind and passing them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1v3th3ad Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 If you want cooler smoke, instead of an ice chamber, look into hoses/attachments...I have the mystique hose attachment and love it...there's also the soguk and the mya freeze hose I have an oxidized trimetal and love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
