big bowl,little stem

[pyramidscheme]

I recently took advantage of HS's special and got some Al Fakher grape
( which, by the way, smells exactly like the United Kingdom's gummie
candy Jelly Babies!) and a free bowl grommet and an unglazed bowl. A
BIG bowl. About twice the diameter of my glazed ones. That much tobacco
would put me in the ICU, or a record book somewhere. The Bowl just sits
atop my large Egyptian three hoser, swallowing up the grommet area and
resting on the metal beneath. Awright, you MacGyvers, how do a I obtain
an airtight seal on this one? One of those wimpy little doughnut spare
tires that come with my subcompact car? By the way, I ordered some Al
Amir apple and guava. Thanks for the alert re: The Hookah's specials

I remember smoking with my friends before I got my hookah, and they
didn't have any rubber grommets. What they did was get a paper towel,
soak it in water, then wring it out so its damp but not dry, then tear
off a long strip of it and wrap that around the stem. This actually
works better than an actual grommet, but I like the simplicity of the
grommets.

Give this a shot. I don't really have any ideas for what you could use around the house or buy from the store.

Best thing to use is a piece of damp cheesecloth, wrap it around the
part (this goes for any part of the hookah)  really tight and
insert.  Afterwards, when it dries it should stay together for at
least the next week.

Thanks, Yashman. Barring that, I could always plug the holes and use it as a birdbath.

you should upload a picture of this MEGA BOWL

Alas, I have not the capability to show a photo, but the mouth of the
bowl is about the same diameter as one of those round containers of
bubble-licious bubble tape, about three inches across. My other bowls
are about two and a quarter across.  Thanks for the tips, guys!
I'll let you know what I think of the Al Amir guava.
