When you blow you are stirring up the water too much, so either you are blowing way too hard or you are filling up the vase too much. Try filling up just a little over the bottom of the stem (and experiment a little to optimize draw) so that you won't have this problem. Too much water can be as big of a problem as too little.

jamesh2 Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 my hookah is 22 inches, i fill .5 inches above the bottom of the stem. i just got a new berring so all should be good. i think imblowing too hard like some of you said:-) thanks everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woknblues Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 ok, be gentle on me here, I am a n00b. Why on earth would you blow into your hookah? I have had mine for almost a year, and have never done this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassman65 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 To clear the smoke out of the base. You do this either if its too harsh or if the flavor dies a bit when the shisha is still good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boulderkid303 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 sounds like ur blowing as hard as jenna jamison Just try to do it slow and if it doesn't clear all of it then its your purge vale. Take the ball bearing out and what not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leadpipecinch21 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 i've done that a couple times...each time because the "stainless steel" ball bearing rusted down...lamesauce. it sucks having to repack a bowl when you just started smoking it...

Canon Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 thats why you test the waters before you blow it. blow a little and see if its stuck or not then purge normally.btw thats the 2nd bowl i screwed up, first was with my glyph and you have it caught on camra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
