aleemkahn Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I think if you try and twist it very gently, then it should come out. Or put some washing up liquid onto where the grommet and the stem meet (u know where theres a lil gap). And slowly twist it. It should work.

Victim026 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Take some sandpaper and wear down the grommet a little bit to ease the fit. Beautiful hookah, thinkin about pickin one up myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I smoked out of SixPackSundays jet glass and there was some juice dripping down the bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OC4111 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 that's what happens when you use a really juicy shisha like AF or Fantasia. I never have that issue with Tangiers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never have that issue with Tangiers though.yeah that'd be my guess that it's just the shisha... because i think it's only happened to me with fantasia... i do think it's happened to me with my tangiers phunnel though...not just my jet. which is even weirder.

vin13 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Thats a very nice KM, and I love the look of those classic KM hoses. As far as the grommet goes, maybe sand it down a little bit or just give it some time to wear in. The Pearl I got from hookahcompany had the same issue but after a few weeks it worked great.

SmokinMoose Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Looking good I am glad it arrived in one piece.I actually like it when water turns red it matches the hose. Lol Glad to see your enjoying it. Wiggling it out is the best way. After a couple of weeks the grommet will wear down and fit like a glove.
