Stuie Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 reverse the process.Fill it where you think it should be. put the stem on and blow down into the stem forcefully since it's 28 inches. The Water that remains should be close to perfect amount. Pour out the water into a measuring cup and use that amount next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theophylaktos Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 hold it up to a light, i had the onyx model too but if you hold it up to a bright light you'll be able to see the water level, then put the stem in to see how far it goes down in. thats what i did and it worked fine for me.

AKammenzind Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Train yourself to put in about the right amount by weight, always with a touch extra, then attach the stem and inhale through the hose port... if it bubbles and you don't get water in your mouth you're good. If you get a little water in your mouth pour a little bit of water out and try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 If you shake the vase gently, with water in, you can estimate the amount of water in there. Estimate how much water should be in the vase, add that much water and then suck through the hose port with no hose on. If you get water through the hose port, if you don't get any bubbling, you have too little, adjust water accordingly. In this way, you never need to actually see the water level, and it works for every hookah and is superior to exact measurements if you have one or more hookahs that you can't see through the jar.
