zacarroll Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I have a two hose syrian chiller hookah, and it used to rip incredibly well face covering smoke and all. However that past couple uses i've gotten from it have milked, but it seems like i'm not getting as much smoke as i should. I'm ordering new ball bearings and a new base grommet from Hookah Shisha, to try and fix the problem. Do you think that's going to fix it or could it be something else? Also until i get those things, will some electrical tape help around the base grommet as a temporary fix? thanks, Zac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the electrical tape, that sounds work too, beacause I have some on mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Set up your hookah and put your hand over the top of the stem instead of the bowl to seal the hookah.. Then try pulling on the hose...if you are getting air still...you know you have a leak someplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zacarroll Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 Hey guys thanks for the ideas, haven't tried it yet, but i did receive a new base grommet which didnt seem to fix the problem so i'm thinking it has to be a leak now. if i do find the leak how do i fix that?
