Having Trouble Drawing Back And Less Smoke.

[nism034]

hey im new here so hoping i am posting in the right place, i recently bought a 4 pipe large hookah and am having issues. first isssue is that i am finding it hard to draw back, it so hard that it hurts my freaking lungs second is the amount of smoke that comes out. usually witht he one hose hookah i get thick ass smoke but with this one it hard to draw back and thin smoke.

anyone got any ideas on whats wrong? i am able to post up pics if needed

alright this sounds like it should be an easy fix. you need to make sure that the other 3 hoses are plugged while your drawing on your hose. So if you are smoking with other ppl then they need to put their thumbs over the hose and plug it now if your smoking by yourself then your best bet is take the other 3 hoses out and put a paper towel in the port or something along those lines. as long as the other ports are plugged while your drawing on your hose then your problem should be solved

what he said...

but if you were already doing that, check for leaks by putting the stem underwater and blowing through. if it bubbles anywhere but out the bottom then you have leaks (check the hose ports too). if that doesnt fix it, try lowering the water level until it feels right...

you also might want to compare the inner diameter of the two stems, your single hose stem may be a lot wider than this new multi hose, which would cause it to have an easier pull.

Isolate the hose in question and switch hoses with a different port. See if the problem persists. If the problem moves with the hose, its a defective hose. If the problem stays put, despite changing hoses, its the port. The port may be crushed internally, blocked with something, etc. Get back to us.
