Everyone who smokes the hookah has found air leaks occaisonaly.
Often the rubber grommet underneath the clay tobacco bowl gets too big from overheating, a large (usually black) rubber gasket that plugs air at the mouth of your water bottle, at the hose connection, etc.
¬†¬†¬†¬† Until you buy or order some more and they come¬† use simply the “right” ammount of tissue paper. You’ll need to use trial and error until its right, but the tissue paper is slightly abraisive¬†¬† since it is made tissue on tissue layer (celulite paper). It plugs the leak and “holds”.
Try it, you’ll see immediate positive results.
Just be careful to tear off excess paper so that it will not burn!
