yashman19 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Well that thing I was talking about is for checking your hookahs air-tightness. Maybe the bowl wasn't on snugly. Try leaving the bowl off, and just using your hand to cover just the top of the stem, then make sure the hose and base are snugly secured in, then pulling through the hose with your hand covering the stem. In a ideal setup, you shouldn't be able to pull any air through the hose. This means your baby is air-tight. Give that a shot without the bowl on and just covering the top of the stem.

PipeSmokeMcGee Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 thats good, that means that it is air tight and that all the air will be drawn through the head, creating smoke. by the way, that hookah looks AMAZING! i don't blame you for wanting to display it! I really like the colors and also the "design" on the base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Congrats! Suction through the bowl is GOOD! Its a way to check for leaks in your system. If you remove your bowl and put your hand over the top of the stem, and suck in on the hose and can still get air or hear air moving, you have a leak somewhere along the way. I'd be VERY suprised if your MYA leaked. Why can't you smoke for another week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Wait, sorry just read over your OP again. You should be able to feel a pull on your hand, that isn't bad. You just want to make sure you can't pull any air through while covering with your hand. You definately will feel suction on your hand, but if you are able to fully pull air through, that means theres a leak somewhere else on your hookah, letting air in somewhere. If that is the case, then carefully listen to the different parts of your hookah while doing the air-tight test and listen for leaking air. If this is the case, then it will most likey be coming from where the base screws in, or the hose port, or even the hose might have a leak in it. Don't worry about feeling suction on your hand, this is normal. You just need to be concerned with air coming in from leaks. Give this a shot and let us know.
