SanguineSolitude Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 wait water in the bulbs. uh oh. that means you may have a bad quality hookah. there should be a solid pipe running top to bottom with no holes in the sides. other than that thats exactly how you should clean your stem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibi Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 Yeah when I shake it... seems like there is water in the bulbs.. it also seems slightly loose around a sodering joint.. should I get it replaced by hookah-shisha? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibi Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 Sorry to double post.. couldn't find an edit button... but when I look down the stem there appears to be no holes.. just a solid pipe... so.. I dont know how the water is getting down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 The central tube is solid, but the external piece(s) are loose (is loose), this allows water to leak in...the inside pieces are probably not rust proof, so your tube and shank will rot away from the inside, probably. I'm sure H-S would be happy to exchange it for you.There is no edit button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shibi Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 I just called Hookah-Shisha (1-866-Hookah) and the guy said that the bulb was just a seperate piece of metal and sometimes there are loose connections but to just let it dry upside down and it should be fine but it's completely seperate from the tube and should not rust so I'll watch for that. We'll see haha.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownZero Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Hopefully it won't rust... if it does, maybe then you can get it replaced. [img]http://www.hookahforum.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiracerj1 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I also got a hookah from hookah shisha and have had the same thing happen, when i first got it i was too new to know any better so i didnt think of it and kept using it, well long story short ive been using it for 6 months now and water always get into the "bulbs" if you just shake it a bunch it gets 90% of the water out and so far theres no sign of rust or affected flavor, so from what i can tell they're right when they said it wouldnt rust, so dont worry too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineSolitude Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 hmm im thinking i wont be ordering any hookah shisha hookahs in the future. sounds like bad craftsmanship. though im sure they smoked just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanguineSolitude Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 well yeah its a mya. i meant their egyptians. since multiple people said they have leaks. obviously them selling myas wont make the myas bad. and i like hookahshisha, i just wont be buying an egyptian from them.

steve07 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I don't no about thier egytians My first hookah was a hookah brothers that had that same problem what a piece of junk it smoked ok but didn't last long before it rusted out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Nearly all of the "online retailers" get their hookahs all from more or less the same places...the same crummy Egyptian brand will be found on almost every website, not to mention thosae little inhale pipes. One retailers vs. another won't change much...some retailers do have exclusive or hard to find stuff. I uinderstand Social Smoke is coming out with an exclusive line.
