OC4111 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I just opened up the package and MAN!! is thing a monster. It's huge!!! But that's what I was hoping for. I'll have pics up maybe tomorrow. The issue I'm having is that the opening to the base is narrower than the grommet on the stem. What do I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a MYA grommet found here for instance : http://shop.gothookahs.com/product.sc?cate...mp;productId=86and added it over the km grommet and it fit perfectly with a little water.For now use tape until you get a grommet in the mail.Oh and btw lets see some pics Edited July 2, 2008 by mattarios2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OC4111 Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 Actually my issue is the opposite. The grommet on there now i too thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename067 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Do what I did.Get some sand paper, and sand the hell out of the grommet until its a good fit. It takes time and it gets messy, but it gets the job done also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquidglass Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 any lube will work lol (jiggalo), water, soap, just make sure it's dried before you smoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookah hippie Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Get the grommet wet and really push it the hell in there it will go in easier and easier each time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeknate88 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I would try anything to avoid sanding it. It's supposed to fit tight, you want a good seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OC4111 Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 I sanded it a little and it went in about halfway. I am going to need to sand it more just to get a good tight seal with the grommet all the way in. With the grommet the way it was when it 1st came in it wouldn't even go that far.

srawas89 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 if all else fails either get a new grommet or get some damp paper towels and use that as a grommet. Thats old school tho haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melanko Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I got my KM in the mail yesterday and the grommet wasn't even in the package. I already got a hold of Chuck at gothookahs.com and I'm getting the right grommet tomorrow. In the meantime, i bought some similar grommets at a local smoke shop. One fit over the stem really well, but wasn't large enough to fit the opening of the base. The second one fit the base fine but didn't fit the stem. So my wife and I just combined the two grommets and and made a pretty good seal.Smokes like a champ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OC4111 Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 I had my 1st session with it last night. The pull is so damm easy, it's ridiculous. The only thing I'm wondering now is if the hose is washsable. It looks just like a nammor or razan and it looks like the ones on thehookah.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
