Johnny_D Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 What hookah are you using? Any pics of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryno Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 If the ports are autoseal (they have a ball bearings so you dont have to plug the hoses), the bb may be stuck. Try using something to pop it out of there, and if you can take it out, you can replace it with a Airsoft BB. The airsoft bb wont rust in there or stick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatPigHookah Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I just got a new multi-hose, and the first thing I learned is that those one-way valves must be DRY. If you cleaned your hookah before use or got water where the ball bearing is, take them off and dry them thoroughly. When wet, they have a tendency to form a seal and stick.

fineout Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 are you trying to hit all 4 hoses at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcfinney Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 no were not trying to hit all 4 at the same time, its just only two of the hoses suck anything the other two feel like your sucking on a straw with a plug in the end, and weve swticehd the hoses to the other spots so we know its not them? ill post a picture up soon the hookah has a small fishtank in the bottom with fake fish and bubblers, and then there is a fog machine about half way up with a bout 1 foot stem up to where the shisha is put in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srawas89 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 As other people have said if it is an autoseal than the ball bearing is stuck. Also I have seen your hookah before (Have seen it in a hookah bar) its a pretty cool one but I would just want the fog and not the big ass long useless base at the bottom.

mattathayde Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 mine the auto seal set up is retarded and the bbs would come up and plug up the other side of it (lunar rotator). im supposed to get some replacement pieces to see if that works but im doubting it will and just plan to have to fabricate something to work for it-matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
