HookahLion Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 So this is really wierd. When im smoking my hookah with my friends, they tend to inhale water... but this never happens to me. I've tried lowering the water lever in the base... they still get water. It's easy to fix when it happens, but I was just wonderin if any of you had any tips or suggestions...

Sonthert Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Less water, about 1/2" above the bottom of the shank. The best way to check if it is too much is to remove the hose and then suck through the empty hose port. If you get water up, then you could get it in the hose; you have too much. Water in most hoses is very bad, it causes rust and ruins the hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yashman19 Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Nah, I think your friend are just trying to suck a golf ball through a garden hose What type of a hookah are you using by the way? A standard egyptian hookah? Whats the size? With most standard egyptians, as long as you follow tangiers advice and fill just a smidge over the bottom of the stem, you should never have a water problem.. As for me, I have a Stargate which comes with a pretty small chamber, and if you don't put the water at the PERFECT level, you will get water up in the hose. But I've found that perfect level, and it is never a problem anymore. Once you find your hookahs optimal water level where your friends won't suck up water, try marking the chamber with a washable marker at that water level until you can remember the same spot every time. Just a tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HookahCaterpillar Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Yea my friends do that too and always get water in the hose. What i do is keep a shop vac handy and put the end of the hose a little bit into the shop vac tube and itll get all the water out. You need to school your friends the proper way of hitting the hookah or lower the water level when they come over to smoke shisha with you. It is really nasty when you get that syrup in your mouth it numbs your whole mouth and makes you want to puke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shishasmokinstoner420 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Hey, Yea id lower the water level a bit and tell ur friends to chill out and hit it slower. Also, some times its moisture from people hitting, and clearing the smoke, not from the actual water in the base. Try using pipe cleaners on both ends of the hose, this problem happens a lot with regular corn cob and briar pipes. I mostly use, as hookahcaterpillar said before, a shop vac which also helps avoiding any syrup from getting in your mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostofdavid Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Water in the lungs could easily ruin a good smoke! Glad you got some pretty good recommendations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
