redjako Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Hiya all,I recently got this hookah:http://www.shisha-hookah.com/Large-Four-Ho...63-p-19295.htmlThe stem base and the hose valves are welded, not threaded so I can't buy converted no-airflow ball bearings. Its sorta funny / weird to pull on the sucker with others, as if you blow into it, air comes out every hose...mostly, its just a waste of good hookah smoke Anything I can do about this?

Victim026 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Some sites sell plugs you can put in the other hoses or in the other hose ports to close them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voski Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Have to go oldschool and tell the people to cover the hose when they aren't smoking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The solution is to have people hold their thumb over the hose when they are not smoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColibriDon Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Definitely thought you were talking about a 4-cylinder car when I read the topic title. I would just say to cover the hose when other people are hitting, I think it's called the "Thumb Method". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redjako Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 Hrm, link to forum topic is for a purge valve, which I like but I'll have to bookmark this page and post when I find a "kit" or some such plug for the nozzles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm putting this sucker up on ebay lol. Get a two banger with autoseal. Whats WORKED......using one hose....waste of a 4 foot hookah lolz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
