mitchard Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 After smoking another KM at the bar yesterday and seeing how well it purged compared to mine, I came to the conclusion that it's probably the lame cap I have on my purge port. I want to find one like this:I guess it would be good to know if all KM purge ports are universal as far as size goes?Also, I need a mya hose adapter. I want to turn one of those mini myas into a two hose when they get here haha. HC didn't have them available, so I didn't get to pick one up with my order tonight. If nobody has one to trade/sell i'll just email hookah-shisha and see if they will send me one with better shipping options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotsi95 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 the are not all universal. I hve one like the one pictured on my trimetal and it wouldn't work on a exotica trimetal which came with a different cap. Mine was bigger and the one off the exotica wouldnt fit on my trimetal.

Giant Ninja Robot Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Sorry, I don't have the purge you need but I have a KM with the valve you dislike and I'll agree it works a bit worse than the straight hexagonal cap, which I have on my other KM.I can also second that the straight cap prolly wont fit on the round capped KM. The straight caps are narrower in my experience and wont fit over the threads of the round capped hookahs. Of course there may be exceptions.Sorry for the rambling I'm ever so slightly tipsy.

Arcane Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 sorry to jack your thread, but have you switched out your ball bearing with a plastic bb? and if so, are they still bad?my KM has the "mushroom" purge valve and purges ok. i switched the steel ball bearing with a plastic bb and it purges really easily now. 2 exhales and it's clear.
