SultanofSmoke Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Any ideas for a DIY fix for a lost release valve... mine must have unscrewed so its gone. I've been using aluminum foil to cover it and uncovering it everytime I need to clear.... Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryno Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I think hookahcompany sells replacements. If not, hardware store! Find a cap that will screw onto your hookah and pop a few holes in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehelios Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 First off, you want to go find a .2 gram plastic BB pellet. The ONLY hookah I have seen that this ball doesn't fit is the Stargate. From there, you can use a puff of foil over the screw section and ball and put some holes in there and use a rubber band to keep it on. It looks like utter crap but gets the job done. If you just want to keep the valve closed and don't care about purging, then just use a BB and tape it over or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SultanofSmoke Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Now thats what I'm talking about...that would work no matter what prob...sure it wont look good but it will look alot better then the mix of duct tape and foil I have on it now that doesn't purge unless you manually detach it...
