no longer welcome Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 updates, found someone to repair all of my left over narbs, v1, that were upon inspection faulty, it's costing me quite a bit but they will be sellable rather than trash, v3, which i have been sent pics of will be on a plane within a few days, i will have to inspect those as pics can only say so much. finally, the folks that will do the fixing on the leftovers i have offered to make me hoses, to my specs, here in the US, so I can better handle QC. I wish I had met them before the v3 purchase, especially since v3 will have a nifty name tag glued on, but either way i am working my arse to make sure none of the bs above is ever an issue again, thanks for the support,John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonOfGram Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Just finished doing my v1 hoses. A few observations, to get the tassels off easily, use a heat gun or a hair dryer, the glue melts pretty easy so don't overheat it too much. I've also used some silicone (could've used some superglue/cyanoacrilate, but I was out), to glue all the gaskets in place (sanded down the inside of the hose/pipe end openings to get a better grip), then used the electrical tape to tape up all the joints and used some rubber adhesive (can't recall the brand) to glue the tassels back in place. Also cut about 2.5" off the hookah port ends.When people above mentioned that the longest part of the repair was wrapping the hose back up, they weren't kidding, it took me quiet a few tries and a couple of numb fingers to get it nice and tight and the way it looked before disassembly, but at least now it feels very strong and doing it myself I have a peace of mind that there won't be any leaks or breaks.Thanks to everyone for the tips and to John for the hoses!

GeorgieHC Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I did one here with John it took a few minutes and used the hot glue gun, worked like a charm. I squeezed the scrunchy back around the hot glue looked sweet. Not too much work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDHarding Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 I just noticed John is now using my guide on his site for the old Narbish hoses. *lol* That's awesome. I am indeed The Narbish Master. I wonder if I get any special Narbish Jedi powers now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
