Vermontoise Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Hello - I'm an experienced shisha smoker, but someone just gave me a beautiful new hookah... that I can't figure out how to fill correctly. It's all in one piece, from bottom to top, in silver metal. However do I judge how much to fill the bottom part, since I can't see it?Any help or comments appreciated!

Bawhee Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Got a pic maybe? It'd be easier to identify and figure out what's going on with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermontoise Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 Yes! Here it is. I tried to upload it on the day I posted, but for some reason it didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bawhee Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Oh hell, that's all one piece? :/ I guess you gotta test fill it until you can judge it by weight. Though that sounds painful to do every time, I reckon eventually you'd get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
â€On Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Yeah, definitely just gotta add a little bit at a time through either the top or the hose port until you get it right. That being said, that thing is going to be a serious pain to keep clean if you can't take it apart at all...my advice, after smoking it, crush up some denture cleaning tablets into powder, mix them in with some water and dump that water in through the hose port. Plug all the holes and swish it around, let it sit overnight and in the morning rinse it out thoroughly.Gorgeous pipe though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bawhee Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I never even thought of that, shit you're gonna have to put work in to keep that baby running clean ya! If you don't wanna go through all that and have other pipes maybe use this as a display piece? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermontoise Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 Well, it was a gift... and for the moment the person who gave it to me is my roommate - and she's wondering when I'm going to use it! It is gorgeous, isn't it?I like the idea of the denture cleaning tablets. I'll give it a whirl this weekend and let you know how it goes! Thanks for your help. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bawhee Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Well, if you're for sure using it then denture tablets and lots and lots of care is what you'll need. Maybe have it as a special occasion type pipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermontoise Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 Special occasions: good idea. And now I have an excuse to start collecting for real! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
