Mayday Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Ok I have a 2 hose hookah, and while cleaning it I managed to lose one of the ball bearing completely. So where can I get a new one, and is there a standard ball size for every hookah, or is it different for each one? I'm assuming I can just go to a hardware store like home depot and find one, but I can't say for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am unsure what size the bearing is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sariél Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I replaced mine in both my mya and chinese nour with a 1/4" from my local Hardware store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthEastSmoker Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Yep.. they're rediculously cheap at a hardware store.. I bought a handful for under a buck.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halon Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I'm gonna have to say put in an airsoft BB. I tried this once after losing a ball bearing, and have since replaced the ball bearings in all my hookahs with airsoft BBs. They're the perfect size and never gum up or stick. And you won't even notice them when clearing your hookah.TYLER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerodynamic Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Yeah, hardware store is the way to go. A friend of mine came into my store with his hookah and matched up the proper ball by process of elimination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damo2010 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 (edited) Lost my balls and bearings in a freak skiing accident.

What does it do and where do i put it?!?!it is essential for the blow off valve to work. put it back where you found it. Your hookah isn't going to hit without it either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Namenone Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 You can use a piece of foil to, roll it up really small and put it in, my ball bearing holder came out too lol, so ive just covered it with foil completely gud pull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They work and also the belly ring thing, did that too. I hate it when my friends would blow through the hoses sending the ball bearing flying when i was trying to purge the smoke.
