Wandering Jew Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 On Hookah Shisha, they only have mod bowl grommets. Are these the same thing? I feel like that's what I'm using right now and it's not working for me too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ih303 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 What kind of hookah do you have? I know my Alien fits perfectly on the grommet that comes with my egyptian hookahs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no longer welcome Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 it does depend on the hookah. i sue regular egyptian bowl grommets for a km, which is mainly what i use, however, if you are using a chinese/modern/mya hookahyou will probably need a mod bowl grommet.

NitetimeReign Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I know I use a mod grommet for my alien. I use it on the KM, the MYA, and the Temsaah, and the mod works great on all 3, for me atleast..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ih303 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I just hose down a whole role of paper towels and use that as a grommet. Seals perfectly every time. In fact, ever since I found out about wet paper towels, I haven't even used my hookah. I just soak a roll, throw my bowl on top, and jam a hose in the side. It's epic!

weddit Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 When I got my alien bowl in, it didn't fit correctly on my grommets either. I had a couple extra lying around though, and just doubled-up. It fits nice and snug now, and I haven't needed to use a wet paper towel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no longer welcome Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 since they vary this is what i do when i have one that seems too big. i mainly use a km, an egyptian bowl grommet, hike it up a bit before application, so that an eighth quarter inch is above the rim, then apply bowl. it stops from any bowl to metal contact. try it out and report back.

dizzbizz Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I found Mya grommets work best for me. They're thin and kind of sticky so it seals really well. But I keep a few mod grommets laying around just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
