You are missing the rubber gromet that goes between the bowl and stem.

You can find them at most hookah sites.

In a pinch you can use wet strips of paper towels wrapped around the stem (old school method).

Hope this helps.

Could he use anything that has some good grip with rubber?

The gromets that are made for this aplication are rubber.

I wouldn't use anything like a rubber tape as the adhesive will probably melt with the heat of the bowl. (thus the wet paper towel)

Yes, that hose looks like a MYA which is a great hose.

By the way, there is also a gromet that goes between the hose and the fitting on the hookah.

When you order the hose ask about getting a set of grommets for the hookah, I'm sure that the site will have them.

They will have all 3 that you need.

1 base to stem

2 bowl to stem

3 hose to stem fitting.

If any of these is missing, you will have air leaks and not be able to get much smoke out of you hookah.

Side note - you can use wet paper towels as a temporary fix for all 3 scenarios above.

Unfortunately I couldn't find any grommets on mnhookah, I was going to suggest getting them from the same site but here's what the grommets look like this

They're cheap, like $2

Edit: take the space out of the web address, for some reason someone on these forums has a stick up their ass again dry.gif

1. Do you have somewhere local you can go? They would have them laying around probably.

2. IF NOT 1) While I'm sure many vendors here can help you out, I'm partial to Tarik/MNH.

I'm sure he get you fixed up quick and not too many $$$.

Well they were bought at a local shop called freakys, sells alot of pipes and like 5 hookahs...probably not top notch quality, but it seems sturdy, and it smokes good. like of course theres gromets on hoses and in between base and stem, bot not one for the bowl to sit on.
