Kenny Pollock Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Bought this a long time ago.Not sure what kind of hookah it is. I put the base in the freezer, it shattered... never replaced it. Also missing a gromet.The stem is almost 8" deep... I can't get an accurate measurement of the diameter.Also, the purge ball is rusted Is it garbage?

melanko Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I name it Beowulf!But, yea not sure what that is. But I would say it definitely can be refurbished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBatcho07 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I can't really make out what it is too be honest.I would say get the closest measurements possible and find a base online that has the closest fitting measurements...That's what I have to do for a stem I have.

Kenny Pollock Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 What do I do about the purge ball?It's literally rusted all the way around, I can't get it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diatonic Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 You could try to spray the ball with wd-40 or similar, let it soak, and then push it out with sturdy metal wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 grab some naval jelly at like lowes and fill the purge with it. Give it about an hour and rinse it out and that should get the ball out. Do it again to clean the entire purge valve. Replace the ball with an airsoft bb from walmart. Give the whole thing a good cleaning and your stem should be set to smoke.

Kenny Pollock Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 I used a 7/16" wrench and turned the "nozzle" that holds the ball bearing. It came out, I took an allen key and a hammer and got the ball right out. Now the piece just sits on snug, it wasn't really threaded into the hooka. Weird.Thanks guys. Haven't had this hooka ripping in a year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NarghileNights Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 looks like an old AF hookah maybe - that's the same plastic diffuser piece on the Nour's and AF hookahs (same thing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eVasKo* Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Not to sure what that is. That is abummer about the base. The grommet is replaceable, but the base is vital. It might not smoke right with a different one. Good luck on refurbishing it though.Happy smoking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
