HH Problem

[Neijii]

I compared my hookah from HH to my 2 friend's hookahs and realized how hard it is to pull the damn thing...there's is so smooth and easy to pull, while mine you actually have to try..and you feel the water bubble with it.I bought the Oasis 2 hose hookah, would it be because it's a 2 hose stem? THat's the only thing i can think of..what do you guys think?

Are you blocking off the other hose?  It should have come with a plug to put in the stem when you arent using both hoses.If not, tin foil over the top of it should help.  Maybe a bit of tape to seal the edge of the foil.

Another thing to note, does your hookah have a auto-seal system? Ie: Do you have to plug your hose when not smoking?

On some autoseal systems, people have mentioned that it tends to
constrict airflow due to the way the hose port is made, in order to
allow the nifty feature. Some people don't mind this tradeoff because
they hate having to plug the hose, but I'm for the maximum airflow

Looking at the picture, i'd have thought it was an autoseal, but it says it comes with a rubber stopper, so that wouldn't make sense.
 
Flip your stem over and check the holes. Look at the area that fits into the top of the vase. There will be two or three holes on ether side of the pipe going down to the water. those will be for the two hoses and a purge valve if it has one. I have a 2 hose hookah that was a bitch to draw on until i check and the holes leading to the hoses we both partially blocked by a thin layer of melted metal from when it was made. I used a nail to clear it away and suddenly it was a whole new hookah.
 
ou may also want to check your hoses. sometime globs of glue are left behind INSIDE the hoses. Try using a friends hose on your hookah and see if it draws any better.
