I really like the hookah however after 2-3 uses the hose thread started to unravel & no longer works. There's some resistance. Any suggestions?

Not really I had the same problem so I just gave up on them and bought some. Better hoses and now it works really great and I only paid like 5 for each hose at starships

Well i didnt have a problem but i do change hoses frequently cause if there not washable ( most of them arent) the do built some kind of dust from the charcoil and it tends to brake them or clogg them so you need to buy new ones and problem solve if you are willing to invest buy the washable ones there a lil pricier but u can rinse them and there way more durable

Try using colibri butane if it doesn't work then the lighter broke this lighter only lasted me about two months so its a cheap lighter but when working it works well

I had that one, I used it once and it broke. I called them and they replaced it with a much nicer one, which holds about a quart of water, lasts all day and scents the entire room and beyond. Get the better one.

The plastic gears seem to get out of alignment, and lock up, when unrolling the hose. This does not happen every time but seems to increase the more you use the unit. The hose unrolled easier if the water was off, and the nozzle open. I tried two of these aquawinders and finally gave up and trashed them both. I even bolted them to the house and still could not pull the hose out. Would suggest you get rid of it, nothing wrong with your hose.

The hose on mine became so impacted with carpet fuzz that I had to cut a coat hanger and bend a small hook on one end use it to fish the debree out of the hose, but be careful, as a wire runs through there as well and I could easily see a novice "coat hanger fisherman" breaking the electrical wire that runs down to the head. If you need to open the head, there are four screws on the bottom. Before doing all that, make sure that the dust bin and filter are clear, there is one small passage in the bin that was also impacted, and I had to use a screw driver to dig it out. This is a very quite and efficient vacuum, but emptying the dust bin and cleaning the filter is very messy business. If I ever need a new vacuum, I think I shall go back to using bags. Good Luck: Mike

I had the same issue and tried to fix it with a knife, but just made matters worse so I threw the hookah away.

I'm pretty sure it is free and even if it isnt. It still is a good price for this hookah btw when taking this apart be careful it is fragile. After the first use it might clog up but just run water through it and it will be fixed!

I am working on my second hose. I doubt you have any recourse at 14 months, except to post your hoses poor performance. Because they are useful on my boat, I replaced the damaged one, knowing it won't last long. Be careful about kinking or overstretching the hose, as I believe the pinholes start at those places. I would recommend this hose to someone who understands it won't last long.

I had a possibly related problem. My grill was doing the same thing and it turned out that the POS home depot adapter hose (the one that lets you connect the babyQ to a normal size propane tank) had worn out on the tank side and was not fully opening the valve. Eventually it broke completely and that is the only reason I figured out what was wrong.

Thanks all for your help and advice. I called 3M and he said I should return it to the store. Sounded like the urethane had hardened in the tube. Returned this afternoon. Got a new tube with a current lot number. Haven't opened it yet. Here's hoping.

make sure all parts are there before use. When I use my hookah I be sure to not pack my bowl w. too much shisha ( I use less shisha when I'm doing it by myself ) & I used iced/cold water in the vase & you should get nice good clouds I LOVE IT & I clean it out every 3-4 uses.. Hope this what you meant by tips & I hope this helps.

I guess you mean the pressure hose. Try Home Depot. I got one there - a stronger one. Make sure the connectors are identical. The original one lasted for one usage. Piotr

I have had some trouble like you described. I cured mine by shorting the hose. The directions give some hints along that line.

Mine is still working but not 100%. It can get stuck but I bet that happens to all of them. To me the hoses are worth the price I paid for it and the fact that it does 75% of the pool relatively well makes it a good investment any ways. I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for.

I have same exact problem. I finally through it in the trash and purchaseda higher quality humidfer. It was fun while it lasted

Mine leaked a little too. I put some Vaseline on the threads and tighten it good. Hasn't leaked since but it's a pain opening it sometimes
