Macho555 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 The damndest thing just happened. I set up my Taqseem Junior like usual for a nice afternoon session, and filled the bowl with a nice Vanilla/Lemon blend. The was going fine, then suddenly a noticed a strange taste, like it was burning, but not quite. I got ready to peel off the foil to see what was wrong, and when I sat the coal in the tray...it was full of water. I took off the head, and found that the whole tray, gromment and bottom of the bowl were soaked. Did this ever happen to anybody else? Did I somehow suck enough air to draw water up the stem?

DCShisha Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 In order to get water up in the stem, it would seem that you would have had to blow out, not suck in. Hmm, very strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I would say that you blew instead of sucked [Minds out of the Gutter Gentlemen! ]I can't see how this would have occured without some help.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macho555 Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 Hmm...I did clear the vase at one point, but I don't think I did it THAT hard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansLight Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 u must blow so hard, other than that nice sexual inuendo, no clue. Sounds like to much for any other reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yashman19 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Its happened to me. I attempt to clear the chamber by blowing into it, but the ball bearing on the purge valve was stuck and wouldn't let smoke pass, so with no working purge valve, the water has no place to go except all the way up the stem and into your bowl.But damn, you must have blown pretty hard and not noticed it, especially since it sounds like the water went up through your bowl, and overflowed into the ash tray... :)I smoked with my buddies and I wasn't paying attention, and I told my friend to clear the chamber, so he started blowing and the carb was stuck. We got a huge sizzling sound when that water hit the hot tobacco.So, check your purge valve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macho555 Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 HA, thats exactly what happened. The ball was lodged in there, I unscrewed it and its all better. Lol, I mistyped that, the water come out where the gromment is. Thanks everyone . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 If the hookah has a common chamber, you can't Bao a bowl...you need the older style, one tube for the vent, one for the hose, to be able to Bao it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xpimpitox Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 yea this happened 2 my friend at a hookah lounge we went to a few years back. needless to say i walked away sayin i didnt know him lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Well its an easy mistake to someone new to hookah. When I first started smoking, I had no clue what that purge valve was for, or how it worked. So if it clogs on a n00b, they won't know the difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAP Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Tip: Put a little cooking oil on the ball bearing and it will be less likely to stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 The air valve on my two hose egytian has not worked for a long time, so when I want to clear the chamber one person uncovers their hose and the other blows, or if I am by myself I remove the blug and blow the smoke out there. I guess with a one hose that release valve becomes more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 The air valve on my bros hookah died so we plugged it with silly putty, my friend not remembering about it tried to clear the chamber. Water came up and over the bowl...tobacco dead, coal most definitly dead. In a lame attempt to finish the bowl we busted out the blow torch. Not a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Hey Soup, its amazing, you look like John Stamos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[LB] Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 same thign happened to me too, I blew in and my ball was sealed in. It ruined a perfectly good session cause the charcoals got extenguished and the black goo water dripped off of them into my shisha . But looking back i think it was pretty funny cause a huge puff of steam shot up out of the top of the hookah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansLight Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 lol i havent had that happen yet to me. My 3 hose doesnt have a purge valve, so no worries there, just gotta take off a hose to purge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
