Question: That valve I was talking about- can I take that out and get one of those add-ons to add an extra hose? Or would that not work?


Try this maybe? Might check with some of the other guys on the forum first to make sure it will work though.



Maybe THIS is what you're thinking?

+1 for you! Lol, I am starting to think I just need to IM you before I post anything anymore. You always seem to be able to either correct me or better emphasize what I am trying to say, thanks btw!

It really is.

I may or may not be 18, doesn't really matter here. What matters is that my mom is ok with it.

Going to Earthbound(store in the mall) to look for shisha and accessories. I'm not sure how to tell if it will fit on my hookah though

May want to keep that to yourself. Sorry bud, but rule #2:
QUOTE
2) Do not discuss substances that are illegal in the United States. This is a US based forum and we follow US laws. See the separate sticky for specifics on Illegal Substances. You must be of legal smoking age in your home country to be a member of the Forum. Do not post pictures that include illegal substances or devices for smoking illegal substances. the only exception to this rule is in discussions regarding hookah misconceptions or problems you've had while smoking your hookah. In this situation use the terms NH for a non-hookah device and NHT for non-hookah tobacco. Any other use of these terms will be considered a violation of the rules


Hope they let you stay though. Guess it is up to to the mods and mush...

Edit: Btw, if I were you I, I would just take the hookah with me to the store and try the accessories on right there. Just make sure you don't break there shit while doing it! Edited by delSol_si

Hey guys, new to this site and hookah in general. I just got one last night from an arab/Indian bakery/store thing for $50. I've used it twice and it worked pretty good both times I guess. Still have a couple questions.

1. What is/how do I use that valve on the opposite side of the hose?

2. How can I tell what type of hookah mine is? I'll try to get a picture up once I charge my camera battery but it says "havana hookah" or something on the ash tray.




THanks guys sorry for the annoyance


Welcome.

The purge valve is used by blowing into your hose...you'll see smoke come out of it...that's how you clear heavy smoke if you ever burn the shisha, or the smoke is just too thick from excess heat, but not to the point of burning yet. Keep it there, you should always have one.

For accessories, just find out how your gaskets fit and then go in with your gaskets to verify they will fit. The bowl gasket should go into the bowl first, then on the stem...so if it fits the bowl, it will work. The hose gasket goes in the hose port first, then the hose is put in...so as long as the gasket fits easily and snugly over the hose, it should fit.

As odd as it seems, there are standards in hookah sizing. The one thing to keep in mind is there are three bowl gasket variants. Traditional, which is the thin tapered sleeve with grooves. Mya which is like a traditional, but is a smooth silicone sleeve, and can be used in place on hookahs with a very tall mount point for the bowl. Then you have "mod" gaskets, which are fat rubber plugs meant to fit the wide flared opening on the bottom of mod bowls. I have all three around...of them I think the Mya won't be purchased again, since the lack of grooves makes them a bit tempermental (I am not using a Mya hookah)...sometimes they need an alcohol wiping to stay put. I only bought those because I had so much trouble finding traditional gaskets in my area, and didn't want to spend 4x gasket prices on shipping/handling to get it from an online shop.

I'm legal to smoke, like I said. We can just keep it at that hah.

IDK if I will even upgrade this one, I should only have it for another month or so.

Going to go get some new flavors tonight. Don't want to pay that much for starbuzz so I might just get the al fahker or however you spell it

Kinda sounds like your trying to cover for being underage......


Let the mods sort that out. None of our concern really. If he is underage, he'll be banned, if he isnt he'll stay. Pretty simple.



Victim IS a mod...lol.
