bjelder Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Hey guys-Just got my new KM from smokinmoose, the thing rips! A full review to come later.However, the grommet that fits into the base doesn't hold it tight enough, and it wobbles back and forth like crazy.Any suggestions what kind/size to get?Thanks!

waterboi Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 wrap a couple layers of electrical tape around the stem and then put the gromet over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplexCoda Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 the inside of the grommet should have a size on it, something like 27 or something like that of course it will prolly be typed upside down and backward so, but you just find that and get a larger one.

Codename067 Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I personally use Sandpaper to sand down the grommet..takes time and gets messy but you end up with guranteed results.Some Vaseline could do justice as well...you know..to help it slide in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMoodz Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Electrical tape is good, good stuff to have around. Also, if there is a hookah shop near you, take your rig down there and try on different grommets and find one that fits like a glove. The one that came with my KM was too damn big for its own good!!! It took 20 minutes to get the damn thing on there and almost an hour to get it out!!?!? I thought I was going to break the vase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryno Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 That is odd. Mine is too tight too, but it fits now. I'd suggest electrical tape, that what I used on my old hookah and it sealed fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
