Problem With My Bambino

[SmokinMoose]

I have had a Mya Bambino since March, I barely use it but now the hose port is loose doesn't stay in place and its causing a small leak.

I was wondering if anyone else had this problem. Also if you fixed it how did you do it?

Also is there anyway to get it to purge better. When ever i try to purge the water goes up the stem.

ya theres a nut on the inside of the stem u can tighten it up there (i put some locktight on it) then for the purge just take your ball out and clean it, its getting stuck so its forcing water up your stem.

Make sure your not blowing too hard when you purge as well, the bambino isn't a KM and purging even semi hard will cause it to bubble up.

I take it the hose port is threaded since it is a Mya (I've never smoked out of a bambino). If so, try getting some teflon tape and wrapping it around the threads a few times. My Syrians hose port is a tad like that and using that seems to help

I tried to tighten the nut but it didnt work.

I dont think you can open up the purge valve to take out the ball.

Lol I seem to forget, my bro did it today too. Nothing purges like a KM.
