Joereep Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I was smoking with my friends out of my pretty new hookah. Its pretty basic nothing special one hose, and the other hole has the stem cover... (not sure what its called) with a ball bearing in the middle. One of my friends was really drunk and decided to twist it off and the ball bearing fell out and bounced on the floor and I could not find it. My question is.. How badly does this effect the hookah at all? Can i smoke without it and it be the same? If i do NEED it is it possible to buy a new one. Im new and i looked for a post of this somewhere else but i couldnt find it i hope i didnt double post but any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks!

hookah hippie Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 the ball bearing is important and its purpose is to allow you to blow stale smoke out of the chamber it makes your hookah airtight a temporary solution to this problem would be to cover the hole with foil to make it airtight once again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename067 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Of course you need a new one! See if you can find a local shop with either 8mm stainless steel ball barings or some air softs 8mm pellets! Either or will do the job! And yes, it will greatly effect the performance of the hookah.

Hookah_510 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I have heard of ripping a piece of foil and make it in a tiny ball works as temporarily. I never tried it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Yeah man, you fo sure need to get a replacement bearing, whether it be another stainless steel ball or an airsoft bb... Ball bearing is a critical part of your hookah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
