austinthecity Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 could be the ball bearing is stuck, try jiggling it.but honestly, if you don't notice a loss in taste... enjoy your smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeppyrkr Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 no its not actually the purge valve its where the valve goes into the stem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kahluajeep Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 My Mya Chic did the same thing, for me it was that tiny ass black gasket that goes on the hose adaptor and the purge valve. It was missing both, so i switch them with my Paragons and every thing is smooth sailing. Does any one know were to find the little black gaskets?

DJnargile Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 My bambino had a problem where it just came a little loose. Get an adjustable wrench up on the inside of the stem and grab the nut, and tighten it down on the outside. Worked like a charm for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJnargile Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 They might both need to be tightened down. Both the hose and purge valve (carb) are just bolted onto the stem assembly. I forget whether mine had any type of seal, but I would imagine a trip to a hardware store and getting some correctly sized o-rings would help you out if you're still having issues.

DJnargile Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Sadly no, I don't. My bambino is at the house, otherwise I'd take a look at it. Maybe I'll re-post later this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaia.plateau Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Try tightening the nut that holes the purge valve to the chamber... if that doesn't work, replace the nut.You'll need a very small wrench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
