Johnny_D Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Looks like a KM style hose. It has big ends both ends.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdriver88 Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 Basically I had to change the tips around to make it normal...the clear/blue one fit into the longer handle fine, but the wooden one didnt fit into the shorter part, so I had to use the foil...also notice the monster gap between the base and stem...what the fuck for 100 dollars im pretty mad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternalSoil Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 your grommet is dry as hell, it would probably fit in there better if you wet it a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping they can send me a new hose, im just mad cause i was looking forward to smoking already, but if they arent going to want this one back since its broken, I will definately use it while the new one comes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waterboi Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 When I ordered the Tangerine from them I had the same exact problem with the seal and my hose pieces where also backwards. I had to switch mine also . I ended up sending mine back because of different things wrong with pieces of the stem and hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
