chinodos Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I have a washable Nammor hose that I have had for several months. It's worked great so far, no problems whatsoever. But recently The bottom of the handles has come unglued. I can shove it in every once and a while and it works for about 10-15 minutes then comes apart again. I can tell the it was glued before. Should I use more super glue and put it together, or is there something more permanent that I can use. I don't want to wrap the whole thing with tape cause that would make it look a bit cheesy. Whatever help you all can provide will be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikemyusername Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 super glue will hold, but not make an air tight seal. Siliconized acrylic latex caulc will make an air tight seal but won't hold, so heres what I did, I put a nice layer of silicone and a nice layer of superglue, it's been holding for a month now, last time it lasted 6 months. theres probably a better substance, but I haven't found it yet.

Astro Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Try to fix it as quickly as possible, I had 2 and did not fix one because it wasnt used for a few weeks, went to use it and it had become unraveled, had to toss it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redjako Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I jerry rigged it with duct tape, folded in on itself (so its two sided sticky), towards the bottom of the hose hole, then superglued the crap outta it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bungiman Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Walmart nearish automotive. Home-Depot. Blindfold yourself drive somewhere, it is likely that they have epoxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremyk Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Only smoked out of km hoses but know the nammor/razan hose smoke well. My problem is though why do you guys keep buying them if they fall apart I've had my km hose for a year now and it has never come apart and still smokes great. Just wondering.

It is a main source of occupational asthma among users of plastics.[10]Both epichlorohydrin[11] and bisphenol A[12] are endocrine disruptors.According to some reports [13] Bisphenol A is linked to the following effects in humans:oestrogenic activity; alteration of male reproductive organs; early puberty induction; shortened duration of breast feeding; pancreatic cancer QUOTE (jeremyk @ Jul 6 2009, 01:57 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Only smoked out of km hoses but know the nammor/razan hose smoke well.

Just wondering.This would be the first time I buy a nammor hose (and of course I bought two of them ), may need to try km hoses since I have heard other stories of how easy they fall apart.

Svaals Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 (edited) Epoxy would probably hold/seal the best, but as mentioned above, most formulas contain endocrine disruptors. I would say go with epoxy unless you're really worried about the health issues with epoxy, otherwise duct tape.Up until recently, most consumer plastics contained some kind of endocrine disruptor because they can strengthen the plastic without making it opaque. So, if you've been eating/drinking anything packaged in plastic or polymer-coated cans then you have more than likely been exposed to these chemicals many, many times before.

MechAnt Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I wonder if Gorilla Glue is ok. That's what I used to fix my nammor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fineout Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 i used silicone epoxy/caulk and its held up for over 6months now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imsomint Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I krazy glued it in then sealed it with teflon tape, then a layer of duct tape, then a layer of electrical tape. I dabbed some krazy glue on the end of the strip of electrical tape so it doesn't move or come undone and leave that sticky residue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Morgan Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Mine is entirely held together with rubber splice tape. Think its more airtight now than when I bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can-O-War Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) This is reason enough for me to never buy a nammor product. Ever.Edit: in after thought, i see a lot of people have bought these. Before they break, are they exceptional hoses? Are there other redeeming factors besides the washability? Edited July 7, 2009 by Can-O-War Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there other redeeming factors besides the washability?they are really great hoses BEFORE they break...after they break, you can keep the ends...buy yourself some tubing at home depot and build your own.my hose lasted me about 2 weeks...with 2-3 washings a day.i have a Grandwashable that's VERY similar to the Nammor/Razan hose and it doesn't even seem close to falling apart on me....

EvansLight Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I just keep shoving things back together xD Call me lazy, but i just keep shoving things back together as they fall apart, and forgo actually fixing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Morgan Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Personally I thought mine worked exceptionally well. It lasted well over a year, was frequently used and sometimes abused, it would get left in my truck in 100+ degree weather sometimes for a few days at a time. It sucks mine finally fell apart but its easy enough to fix and still smokes extremely well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I've used superglue, you NEED to let the sucker dry, the fumes WILL be present in the hose, so don't just fix it and start using it (as I have done a few times since the bowls going), as your throat gets scratched to hell.Fix it in some down time, use an alternate in the interim.

r1v3th3ad Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I'm a strong supporter of duct tape..."If you can't duct it, fuck it!"my nammor is has both the mouth end and hookah end duct taped in...you cant even see that I did it and it works like a charm, perfect seal, plus I can take off both "ports" when I go to wash the hose.
