HarryTheHookaMaster Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 What a long strange trip it's been so far!!!I pick up 3 pipes since I got here- a MYA with an ice chamber, a KM!!!, and a cheap shitty pipe from a gas station (of all places!). Heres the problem, the Mya and the KM have a slight-harsh after taste to them. I scrubbed them out, swabbed the stems with alcohol (!) and still a slight taste.....the tastes remains with both QT's (arabic) and jap coals.Any thought form y'all???? Please send all replies to my e-mail: bronc6@hotmail.comDue to shitty interner service and working my ass off, my internet access ain't what it used to be!I found a little shop in Riyahd that sell nothing but KM's! I was in heaven! I was able to get a beautiful pipe and a 5 kilo PAIL of Nakala double apple! Been hitting the gas station cheap ass pipe ALOT!!!Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indian_villager Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Asalaam Alekum (sp?). Hook me up with a KM brother! The harsh taste would probably be because they have an easier draw therefore you are pulling more heat through the shisha than with the other pipes with the same set up. I suggest using less heat or moving the coals further out to the edge of the bowl. Either way good luck and happy smoking.P.S. This forum is a great resource and information is abundant on various issues a lil bit of searching goes a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chromecarz00 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Salaam. KMs are made in Egypt I think. And I agree on both of what you said; if you can go to one of their drift events, its awesome, but stupid, but fun lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to rain on dude's parade, but I thought you could get hookahs and shisha at gas stations normally? Small ass town around me has chinese mya's, pharaohs and havana shisha. Nothing spectacular I just didn't know it was strange.As far as the hookah goes I'm with Indian, it's probably just too much heat, but that's AWESOME you found some good hookahs while you were there.

cigarron Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Look through the downstem of the MYA. It should be smooth, but if you notice bumps, it may have glue residue in there. The fix: run lots of very hot water through and run the cleaning brush in there. Don't be surprised if you pull out several quills of hard glue. Fixed the harsh taste for me.

D-jay Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 man since you are in saudi try their famour 'inab toot' meaning grape and berrys.
