camelflage Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 (edited) you trailed off there....no bubbles means its not set up right or its broken. check your downstem for holes or cracks above the waterline.

Johnny_D Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 No bubbling?Try getting someone to hold a finger over one of the hoses? whilst someone sucks on the other...If that does not have auto values on the 2nd hose then you might have a problem.

sweatyconundrum Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 i have smoked hookah before, i understand to hold a finger over one while sucking the other (no homo) but the problem seems to lie elsewhere, somewhere in the putting together. there is plenty of water, there is obviously a weak spot, it is eluding me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Does it have a purge valve? Does the purge valve have a ball bearing?the other way is to take the stem, Put a finger over the top or bottom, and suck. If you can't draw air then the stem is ok and the problem is within the hose port chamber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oolatec Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Make sure there's enough water in the base... the downstem (the pipe that goes down into the glass base) should be in the water about an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
