Shisha Grommets & Bearings
High-quality equipment of the hookah will make the process of smoking as comfortable and pleasant as possible. In our store HookahMarket you can buy special Grommets & Bearings that will ensure the tightness of the device, as well as its stability. It should be noted that replacement of these accessories refers to regular maintenance of hookahs, so it is better to buy several gaskets in case the old one suddenly failed.
Signs of a bad bong seal
Some signs of a bad bong seal include:
- If you are having trouble getting smoke when tightening the bong hose, it could be a sign that the bong is not tight enough.
- Air leaks can occur if the hookah is not assembled properly or the seals are not tight enough. You may notice air escaping from the base or other parts of the hookah.
- If you hear gurgling noises when you tighten the hose, it could be a sign that there is water in the hose or that the bong is not properly sealed.
- If the coals burn unevenly or continue to go out, it could be a sign that the bong is not sealed properly.
- If the smoke from the hookah is pungent or unpleasant, it may be a sign that the hookah is not airtight enough or there is an air leak.
- If the shaft slides too loosely into the flask, it may be an indication that the seal is not working properly. The shaft will immediately become unstable, which can cause the hookah to fall dangerously at any time, including with hot coals.
How to choose gaskets for a hookah
Choosing bushings and gaskets for your hookah can be a bit tricky, but here are some tips to help you out:
Hookah gaskets can be made of rubber, silicone or leather. Rubber seals are the most common and affordable, but they wear out faster than silicone or leather. Silicone seals are more durable and seal the bong better, but they can also be more expensive. Leather seals are the most expensive, but also the most durable.
Make sure you choose the right size seal for your bong. Measure the diameter of the stem and bowl to make sure they fit correctly.
Thicker seals provide a tighter fit and prevent air leakage, but they are harder to remove. Thinner seals are easier to remove, but they may not provide that tight seal.
When buying bong seals, stick to reputable brands. Cheaper and lower-quality seals may not fit properly or wear out faster, which can lead to air leaks and reduced performance.
Ultimately, the best way to choose bong seals is to experiment with different types and brands to find the ones that best suit your bong and smoking preferences. At the HookahMarket online store, you'll always find what you need, and the managers will be happy to tell you how to make the right choice!
Are the seals universal?
No, all models are chosen individually for each waterpipe, depending on the diameter of the shaft and the inlet of the flask. It is better to tell the manager your waterpipe model before buying so he can help you choose the right seals.
How many seals do I need for my waterpipe?
You need a seal between the bowl and the shaft, the hose and the shaft as well as at the connection point of the shaft and the flask. Managers will pick up the whole set for you.
What kind of seal is better: rubber or silicone?
Rubber provides more density, but they deform over time and can develop cracks. Silicone is more durable, but not as dense as rubber.
