vbman11 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I have an acrylic mya hookah and one of the things my friend recommended was to remove and block off the purge valve? Pros? Cons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 No, why would you do that? Leaving the ball in the purge allows you to purge (remove) the smoke if the vase gets harsh by blowing into the hose even though it doesn't work so well with the common chamber in myas. Blocking the purge makes no sense at all. Leave the ball in there and don't block it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epoch Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 No, you don't need a purge valve. But I don't see a reason to get rid of it when you have one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang67n Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 unless you mean the purge valve in the hose ports, if its a multi-hose pipe. I'd recommend taking the balls out of those, just because they restrict the flow quite a bit. but then you have to make sure the other hose is always plugged by someones finger when you take a pull from your hose. That is.. if it IS a multi-hose pipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavo21 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 i recommend using a small water balloon instead of the valve if you are having issues [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v684/Blitzbolt/72aafc98.jpg[/IMG] example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamyxcupcakes Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 you get to purge AND make noise!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 what can you say after a water balloon? The only issue is you have to keep your ball clean. If it gets stuck it will leak air or mess up your purge. So while it is a little bit of work, keep the purge valve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavo21 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 yah for my purge valves i use vegetable oil and just clean them out say every couple of months or go with the balloon fashion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
