As some of you may know some of the v1 Narbishes had leak issues. This was due to 1 idiot at the plant who made the executive decision to use cheap glue, against my instructions. The newer versions are all assembled with a high end epoxy and will not leak or come apart. In the meantime I have alot of stock on Narbishes that have a 20% fail rate, however the materials are great and it would be a waste to discard them. I want to sell them at my cost to make my investment dollars back I have a guide that a user has made that will put this product back together if you have any issues: A loyal Hookahjohn customer decided to make a Narbish repair guide for any V1 Narbish owners that are having problems with leaks.

I decided to make a Narbish repair guide for any V1 Narbish owners that are having problems with leaks.


Step 1: Take your narbish completely apart. Remove ALL glue from it, including any glue hiding inside the handles. Do NOT remove the gasket from inside the handle where the mouthpiece fits, or the gasket on the hose-port clear acrylic end. I did this and managed to damage it, and so now I have to use a bowl gromit as a replacement.

Step 2: Tape the ends of the hose so they don't unravel. It would be a pain in the ass if this sucker unraveled.

Step 3: Put those gaskets from the handle and port-end onto the ends of the hose like so.

Step 4: Put these gasket ends of the hose into the handles.

Step 5: Take all that lovely rubber wrap stuff you got, and cut four 3-4 foot lengths. Tightly wrap one length around each of the previous handle ends you were working with in step 4. Make sure to wrap tape around them when you're finished so they don't unravel. Any tape will be fine. Overlap A LOT. It's the key to making an air-tight and water-tight seal.

Step 6: Put your acrylic mouth piece and hose-port ends into the other ends of the handles.

Step 7: Wrap them the same way you just wrapped the other ends of the handles. Remember to keep it tight!

Step 8: Take the rope, and making sure that you're working with the long rope for the handle and the short rope for the hose-port end, cut the frayed ends off, and tape the double-roped end to the hose-end of the handle. Then wrap the rope up along the handle. Time and patience is a virtue here. Tightly wrap it up. You'll have to figure out a technique here that works best for you. Half-way through when you run out of that sparkly rope, cut the frayed end of it off, and tape the end to the handle, then wrap the rest of the other rope up around it to cover and hide it.

Step 9: At the end, tie the rope around itself.

Step 10: Wrap tape around the rope to hold it in place.

Step 11: Cover it with the little tassle so nobody knows what ya did. wink.gif

Repeat for the other end of the hose with the other rope and tassle.

Step 12: Enjoy your repaired hose! biggrin.gif
