nicayotte Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Got my dahab hookah form HC last week and when i go to use it today the pull is unbarribly hard! It is like i have the bowl supoer tight packed which isn't the case! Here is what I have come to conclude!- Blew my bowl out/Repacked to insure no clogging- When i pulled the metal ball out it blew through fine (might be the cause)- Cleaned the stem and eveything entailed with it- No leaks that I have noticed!Anyone got any other ideas toward this cause i am slightly angry seeing as this hookah is less then 2 weeks old and already has issues!

leadpipecinch21 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 does it have one of the auto seal hose ports? that could be your problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalSoil Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 you forgot to poke holes int he foil!ok, haha just kidding...i would say if you cant figure it out then as you are setting up take draws from your hookah every time you add something. so when you stick something on and it restricts the draw *DING* you found your problem.When the vase on my old Chinese hookah broke i used a milk just and a paper towel as a grommet and the paper owl actually covered up the holes at the bottom of the stem (part not in the water). So maybe a weird grommet problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheese// Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 (edited) Is the metal ball in the hose you're dragging on? Edited November 10, 2007 by Cheese// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekon Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Could be the water level. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boulderkid303 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Could be the hose.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicayotte Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 Turns out it was the purge valve, the ball was rusted and wedge in there thus it was not releasing and falling into place correctly all the time, replaced it with a airsoft BB (20g) so it will not rust and haven't had a problem yet.NOTE: I also drilled the holes out more and it seems to have helped!

EternalSoil Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 you have 20g airsoft pellets?!?!?! what kind of gun you have that will shoot that? some kind of 6mm handgun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jshenrikson Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 He might have meant .20 caliber, thats around a BB size. I must say they are pretty sweet too, because they fit perfectly into almost any purge valve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
