MichaelCassidy Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Hello everyone! I just joined the forum, even though I've been visiting the site for a while because of the awesome review and how to sections. Im stoked to be a part of the forums now. Ill tell you all a little about myself. Im 18, live in jacksonville florida, and have been smoking hookah for a little over a year now. I love playing drums and listening to music, mostly hardcore (bands like Trapped Under Ice, Naysayer, Cold World, Trash Talk, etc. If you're a fan of this kinda music lets talk!). I just recently graduated from high school and im planning on working for the IRS, cus working for the federal government is the way to go in todays economy. Now about my hookah question. For the majority of my hookah career I've been smoking out of a 19" Sahara Smoke hookah which was a total piece of crap, the threads that screw the top half of the stem to the bottom got stripped, whish I fixed by taking a piece of tape and wraping it around to make the threads thicker so it would screw in. And the the top piece where the bowl grommet goes on to put the bowl on completely BROKE in half, which I fixed by getting Gorilla glue made for metals and glued it together...which couldn't be healthy. But I recently bought a new hookah from the mall and this is what my question is about. The people at the mall told me it was a KM tri metal hookah. But when I bought it and brought it home and looked at it close up, im pretty sure it isn't. For one, there are no KM stamps on the tray. And also there was a sticker on the stem that said "Akhdhar Jamal" on it. Im pretty sure its not a KM and was wondering if anybody as heard of this brand? The hookah is built JUST like a KM, its got a solid brass heart, is also made of copper and stainless steel and has a stainless steel downstem. Its got the flared end at the downstem as well, and the curved hose port. Has ANYONE heard of this brand? And does anyone know of the brands reputation and quality of hookah? Sorry for the long post and thanks for reading! Ill attach some pictures when I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 A few things look off to me. Can you take a picture of where the tray rests? Like, without the tray on it? Oh, and welcome to the forum!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoalition Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 not a km - the purge valve is not a type ive ever seen km use - the hose port is also not the typical. the heart is also not one i've seen before. If it were a km then its something new. However usually km will have a stamp somewhere on it. still a nice looking pipe but i don't believe you got what you paid for.

mushrat Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 It looks like at one time Hookah-life.com sold those Akhdhar Jamal trimetals. It shows up in a yahoo search but not on their site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Actually, that purge I've seen quite often on KMs. My OG Trimetal had one like it, and my current KM Pear has one as well. Not all of them are straight like they used to be. Everything else you're right about though... Here's my purge to show you: [IMG]http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p40/INCUBUSRATM/Random/DSC01082.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
