Purplepotatoe Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I finally got around to getting myself a personal Hookah (Mya QT). Ive been smokeing for a descent while, going to hookah bars and using my friends when he comes back from collage. I would like to ask a few things that Ive never seen happen in his and or others Ive seen.My Bowl: At the bottem it is a lip and then goes inward. I cant seem to get a really good seal here. Anything i can do to fix this? Allready have a new bowl comeing as this is what I personally think is causeing this.Im also getting moister in the hose that is noticeable. Anything to fix this, or is this normal for the hookah. My packing doesnt seem to shabby as Ive done it a descent amount.Any ideas to help my little hose issue and the sealing would be greatly appreciated. Also let me say hello as this is my first post. Also Hello mister Tangiers guy, huge fan of your product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Hello mister Tangiers guy, huge fan of your product.Congrats on the new hookah and welcome to the forums!!! Mya bowls aren't all bad, however, I think using wet paper towels is the only way to go as a grommet for them otherwise the seal is less then desireable as you have discovered. Moisture in the hose will happen, unless your actually sucking water into it due to either sucking to hard on the hose or having your water level too high in your hookah. I'd allow the hose to dry out well as the Mya hoses will rust and get nasty with moisture. Also experiment with lowering your water level, it may solve your problem all together.

Purplepotatoe Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 Ill give it a go when I do a bowl later on. This idea does sound leaps better then mine, which was to use duct tape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplepotatoe Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 There are 2 more things I would like to add to this thread.Why is there alot of juice going through the bowl? Its turning my water a caramel color after 1 session on this tiny bowl, so maybe 30-45mins ish. Just something Ive wondered since it never happened on other ones Ive smoked on.Another is why are my coals pretty much going out or not really doing anything. I dont notice any real heating up when I take a hit. Im guessing its just the seal problem I mentioned earlyier. Am I right or wrong here?Once agian thanks for any input.

Bulldog_916 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 If you're using an Egyptian bowl, chances are you are getting juice down the stem. Pretty normal. The water color is nothing to be afraid of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
