MonkeyBiziu Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I ordered a new hookah a few weeks ago and I've been having some problems with my autoseal adapters. On a few of them, the ball bearing will get stuck. I thought it was an air pressure problem, but I sealed it up and it's still doing it. Anyone have any thoughts?

Stuie Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Odds are it's water getting on the ball bearing.I recommend changing them out with Air Soft BBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cr15p3rz Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 a lot of people on here use those replace the ball bearing with those air soft pellets so you could try that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 IMHO, Mya autoseal sucks. I opted to just go with regular adapters and tell whoever's smoking with me to plug the hose. My friends do it out of habit for the most part anyway, so it's not really an issue. I used to have autoseals on my QT and they got stuck all the time from day one. Perhaps you can try taking the ball bearings out and thoroughly cleaning the hose port and ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ih303 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 We used to have this problem all the time at the lounge back when we offered two-hose QT's. The biggest culprit we found was hard water deposits. Got some CLR and it cleared it up pretty good. You could also consider soaking your pieces in 420 cleaner or vinegar.Or, get an airsoft bb.

inino Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Could be you need to clean your pipe better. Generally its sticky goop shit that plugs them. When you clean take all the hose ports off and scrub with a toothbrush or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingsMaster Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 its the water my friend get plastic BB's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyBiziu Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 Hmmm. So why does the water cause them to stick like that? Moreover, why is it that only two of them are doing it, and not all four? Also, wouldn't a wet BB have exactly the same problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
