First Hookah Problem

[whatdoisay]

Just got my first hookah from hookah-shisha.com.

I unscrewed the cover over the... "exhaust pipe" (oops.. don't know the term, but the non-hose hole) and something — a bead maybe — fell out and disappeared someplace. Now when I put the cover back on it doesn't smoke properly, but when I keep the cover off and hold my thumb over it it smokes great.

So what fell out? What can I plug it with?

It's the ball bearing. You can easily make a replacement out of foil, I believe--or just order a replacement.

Go to walmart and find some beebee's the right size and save urself the shipping cost.

FYI: It is call the purge-valvue, and its purpose it to allow you to clear the chamber to get a fresh hit. The ball bearing just allows you get a good hit when you pull.
