Guest Namenone Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I baught a new big shisha for around £35 and ive been using the same flavours that i used with my old mini 1, ive noticed that i get hardly any flavour with the new one, it has a clay pot and my old 1 had a metal one :S, and ive notieced when i suck in, air comes in throught the holes on the side with the ball bearings.. should this be happening?

SanguineSolitude Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 when you suck in? absolutely not. you have a piece of crap hookah im afraid, and there is little that can be done there. that said, try to buy a bigger ball bearing or try to see why air is making it past the one thats there. the point of the bearing is to keep air from being sucked in. the clay bowl should give better flavor than the metal. metal heats up too hot. fiddle around and see if you can fix it, my fingers are crossed. good luck my friend.

Guest Namenone Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Ok, i said that wrong,It seems as there isnt even a ball bearing in the little hole thing!Just those 2 peices... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpico Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 SOLUTION: Buy a little ball bearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Namenone Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 or make 1 from foil right (H) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loumeer Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Or just go ghetto style and take the peice off and put some foil ontop of the hole where it went. It will work well ehough, the ball isnot necessary just don't blow into the hose while it is attached the the hookah.--Amichai Israeli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilgore trout Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Just put some duct tape over the hole. Duct tape can fix anything. Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeshabum Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 or those cheap little rolls of teflon tape, or the putty-like stuff that is used to stick papers on walls. Surfpico, what are you drinking in that bottle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
