hookah hippie Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Hey guys smoking my new pipe and I discovered that when the ball bearing is in place it does not quite entirely cover the hole and I have an airleak there any suggestions on how to still be able to purge but stop this leak?

cheezerman Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Perhaps a trip to the hardware store and an appropriate sized gasket? I know my purge valve (Mya) has a little gasket on the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esheg4ever23 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Try replacing the ball with an 8mm BB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename067 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Yeah, a BB pellet should do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jezter6 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 my mya gets wonky on me sometimes - i can hear it whistle through the purge valve. usually I take it off and shake the hell out of it for a few seconds and screw it back in and all is well.

I don't like their purge system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryno Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Two things I've done: use a plastic airsoft bb, and goto the hardware store and look for o-rings that will make a seal where you screw in your purge valve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookah hippie Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 Thanks for the suggestions I ended up buying an O ring and now it seals all the way thanks a lot I was really pissed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
