Texico Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I ordered a nammor hose (and some other small things like extra grommets and such) from hookah-shisha yesterday. I got the shipping notice today, and I love living 3-4 hours away from Austin, TX. It's all scheduled to arrive tomorrow! I'm excited to see how a nammor will affect my smoking sessions. I also bought 50g each of Layalina Blackberry and Grape today at a local place. They smell great, and I think i'm going to load up the blackberry tomorrow to break in the new hose.On a side note, does anyone know if hookah-shisha has a store in Austin or is it just a warehouse? It would be amazing if they had an actual store since I'm at college there and I'll have a car next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterboi Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 You will love your Nammor. No doubt about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 i don't think they have a retail store.. but i'm sure they sell to people who come to their warehouse.. why wouldn't they? Mya does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalSoil Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 ask them on live chat, i'm sure if you talk to them and set up a time they would probably show you around and smoke with you there at the warehouse!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texico Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 So everything just got here about 10 minutes ago, and I have a little problem. The nammor hose end piece doesn't really fit that well into my hookah. I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do yet, but I'm going to figure something out by the end of today. Any suggestions? I can post pics if you guys need me to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalSoil Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 i assume its too big...my nammor wouldnt fit into the chineese hookah i had very well so i melted the end till it fit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oolatec Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Find some hose grommets you may have laying around and try all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texico Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 Alright guys here's a pic of it. This grommet has the best fit, and it stays pretty well, but if i jiggle it too hard or even just the motion of passing the hose could knock it out.

ZenSilk Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Try without the grommet? I have that same problem, it looks like a Syrian hookah you have there right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalSoil Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 that grommet looks like you could find a thinner one...if it looks like it would fit fine without the grommet but just not seal really good then try and get a thinner one...if not then you might have to bust out the lighter!

ZenSilk Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Yeah, the nammor is very hard to use with those types of Syrians. i actually use those same H-S grommets, i ram the hose tip in there and hope it stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalSoil Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 at least it stays in there some!wouldnt stay in my chinese at all.i say melt it cause i couldnt cut it well with a good knife...i just got it really hot till it almost tried to start bubbling then stuck it in the port over and over until it fit ok.

ZenSilk Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 It didn't melt to the inside of the port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalSoil Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 no, i held it to the outside.its very tough plastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamscott06 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I got this hookah from zenzilk and he told me the hose doesnt fit that well so he found another grommet he had laying around that works quite well. Not sure where he got it but if you can find it its worth a shot, it holds the hose in very well.Give me like 10 min and ill upload the pic, im smoking right now so yea..

PhishPhood Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 This may be a ridiculous idea but shove it in without the grommet. Then to make it airtight get some silly putty and roll a snake (going back to elementary school art vocab here) then put it around the outside of the hose port where it meets the hose and smash it around a bit.Hopefully this is clear to read...

ZenSilk Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 scott, i thoguth about that, but the bowl grommet doesn't fit on the Surian Hose port, i tried that myself because of this same problem. The hose ports that come on the Syrians from this vendor are pretty narrow, and i asked about larger width ones and there aren't any available. I think Silly putty would be the best bet... but i hate modding my hookah like that using random stuff.. i don't know why, i have a thing. Taht's why i used the bowl grommet on the Amer, it looks fine and fits extremely well, better than a normal hose grommet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New2Hookah Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Yea it seems as if it\'ll fit just right without the grommet. If there is a slight air leak anywhere, just use a thin layer of paper toil, foil, tape, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Atkins Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Just stick it in without a grommet, and then screw it in as much as you can. It will be airtight, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy1966 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I just broke the end of my Nammor that goes into the port when I dropped my hose just now. @#%*I cant belive the thing broke, it was not that far of a fall. What do you think, Gorilla glue to put it back on? Any suggestions. What a bummer, I am using one of my old hoses now, what a huge dif between that and the Nammor.

Texico Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Thanks guys. I'll try your suggestions in an order that leaves melting the plastic/resin as a last resort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
