srawas89 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I am sad...the stem on my hookah might have a bad leak. When I take a hit I can feel an extra amount of air I am sucking in. I blew into my hookah to find the leak with my purge valve closed and it came out of the stem. Now my stem is a screw on in 3 pieces and the leak seems to be around where 2 parts screw together. I think its not that are though because I screwed it in REALLY tight and there still was a leak and I could still see smoke in that area and the oring is still in good condition. Pics to follow tommorow hopefully. Either way could anybody tell me based on the information thus far if I can use some epoxy or super glue or something to seal the leak? Hopefully this can be solved soon so I can smoke again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srawas89 Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 I have been thinking about a new hookah lately I just need to get the money together...anybody have a good plan to rob a bank? haha I kid. Either way even if I am getting a new hookah thanks for the advice on fixing it this way I can fix it and keep it or maybe sell it to some idiot for more than I paid for it haha. We shall see.

mushrat Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Teflon plumber tape. You wrap it around the threads and it seals things up. I've fixed a few people's hookah with it. And you can still unscrew it to clean, just have to add a little more tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
