logan92 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 hey guys just wanted to say that my mya is awsome, [url="http://www.myasaray.com/store/item.asp?ITEM_ID=23&a"]http://www.myasaray.com/store/item.asp?ITEM_ID=23&a[/url] mp;DEPARTMENT_ID=49 iv been smoking for about a week and a half and its great, the quality of the smoke is as good as any lounge, i still havent cleaned the stem even though the guy at mya told me to clean it each time i used it (i doubt everyone or even anyone cleans out the stem each time they use it) the thing is that this green oooz leakes out from one of the screw points at the stem (the bottom of thes stem right at the level of the valve and where my hose goes in, its a leak of this oooz, is this norma? does this happen with everyone? does it stop when you clean it? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Haze Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I experience no oozing, but congrats on your mya. They are pretty attractive pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monil Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I've just noticed this with my abyss, after about 5-10 uses with no cleaning.It's a green liquid that is indeed around the screw edges and smells nasty. It doesn't really affect the smoke but it is worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monil Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Oh, and according to hookah shisha it's because i'm not cleaning it after every use which sounds about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzing Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 yeah, i've gotten that sometimes. it doesn't actually come out of anyplace though. try unscrewing the parts of the stem, wrapping all the threads with teflon tape, checking out all the o-rings, and putting everything back together carefully. The fact that the nasty liquid is coming out there means you're not getting as good a seal as you should be. I've never had problems with mine, the o-ring seems to be sufficient.

Monil Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I find it's appeared after not being used for a while and being fully dis-assembled. The thing *IS* sealed quite good cos i check it before every smoke to make sure the foil on my head is on tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
