kitefanatic Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Are you sure that it's the hose? A bit more information would help us to help you. Like: Is it being used in a self sealing port, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxstriker52 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 more info would help a lot. first disconnect your hose and try to pull air through it, if it doesn't work then theres your problem all you will have to do is go buy another hose. if you get air through the hose then it could be something else. how old is your hookah and how often do you clean it?

jmo2185 Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 thanks for your replies!! it's not the hose itself, because when disconnected air can pass through the hose. but once they're connected to the valves it won't allow anything to pass through. i've had it for about 4 months and have cleaned it a few times. do you think it could be a problem with the ball-bearings??

ZenSilk Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Yes, make sure that they are loose in each of the ports. ANd if you can, remove them and try to smoke it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitefanatic Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Ball bearings are notorious for sticking. At least they're a quick easy fix, if that's the problem. I just unscrew the valve and rotate the bearing in the little socket. Make sure that when you clean your hookah, you disassemble this area and let it dry completely. A little rust can freeze those babies right up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
