mrmonk7663 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Hey everyone I have an Egyptian Hookah, not sure what kind, but anyway, on the hookah stem it has a female thread and then the purge threads into this. The way the purge works is that if you want to purge it, you unscrew the purge thing a bit, then screw it shut when you are done purging. I don't like this. It aggrivates me. I was wondering if there was some kind of converstion to change this to the kind of purge that all you do is blow and then it seals back with the check ball (like mya) If there is nothing that is sold, has anyone made a nice looking deal for this on their own? Thanks alot.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazria Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Can you get a picture? Most smoke release valves I've seen are threaded w/ a ball inside. (Modern, Syrain and Eygptian) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmonk7663 Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 Yes, but I won't be able to get one up till tomorrow. Most hookahs have a male thread on the stem, to which the the cap and ball screw ON TO. Mine has a female thread on the stem, to which the cap screws IN TO. The cap is solid, no holes, no balls, so in effect when it is screwed in, it is sealed. To unseal, you unscrew it.Thanks,Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookah hippie Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Could you drill a hole in your cap and put a ball bearing in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmonk7663 Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 (edited) I just looked at my Mya. The stem part is the male section on the Mya (mine at least) and the cap is the female part. My Egyptian is opposite. No, I couldn't just drill a hole as it is solid metal and I would destroy the cap trying to do so most likely, the drill would walk around for sure.I wonder why my Mya would be different than yours. Thanks.I just looked at the hose port. It is a female thread on the stem, the purge is a male. I'll figure something out.
