syrian hookahs

[Mathazar]

The only parts of the Syrian Glyph that disassemble are the hose stems
that encase the ball-bearing Auto-Seal System.  You can take those
balls out and clean them if you want,  though I was told by
Hookah-Shisha that it's not neccessary,  as they don't get
dirty.  I love the Syrian Glyph,  it's one of the better
hookahs I've owned.  The only thing that sucks about it is that
the coal tray is not welded to the shaft,  meaning that the syrup
from you tobacco can drip down the shaft and stain whatever surface
your hookah is on.  In my case,  that would be my
carpet,  which is permanently stained.  Also,  the shaft
is made of copper,  which means that you're going to have to keep
it dry or it will tarnish.  I always kept the shaft dry, 
though the syrup that drips down the shaft can tarnish the
copper.  Any cheap hardware store tarnish remover will remove the
tarnish from the copper,  I would imagine. 

Otherwise,  I've never had ANY problems with my Glyph
Hookah,  whatsoever.  And the shaft,  with it's Glyph
Etchings,  is VERY beautiful

how much disaambling are we talking about? hookah shisha claims to the
enginerr breaked down into segments 3 inches long, seems like overkill
to me, if just the lower shaft detaches from the upper shaft it shud be
good, u know you can contact them and ask, call them during business
hours or email, they generally repond to emails in less than 48 hours

So you CAN get at the ball bearing???
Here's what I recommend.....
Take out the ball bearing when you first get the hookah and coat the
bearing with a thin grease or motor oil to prevent it from rusting and
providing an inferior seal.
Check that every once in a while and recoat.

Yeah,  you CAN get at the ball-bearing.  One thing I didn't
mention because I didn't think it was important,  is that
sometimes ( and I mean VERY rarely ) the ball-bearing will get stuck in
it's chamber if you haven't smoked out of that hole in a LONG
time.  HookahCulture's idea of greasing it with oil would solve
that problem FOREVER.

Thanks HookahCulture,  I never even thought of greasing it,  GREAT IDEA man
