jaker29902 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Ive used these hoses maybe twice on one, and twice/three times on the others and already they have started to spit out rust flakes when I go to clear them out buy blowing through them, is this normal? Im guessing not but I could be wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 How old is it? Do you leave it connected to your stem when you finish smoking? Has water ever bubbled up into the hose? And lastly, have you ever cleaned it by blowing through it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryet Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Are you sure it's rust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaker29902 Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 No water does bubble up into hose, no I disconnect it after every smoke, and I clean them by blowing through them each time, lately I just noticed rust flakes coming out, I know it is rust because some of it is shiny and it is attracted to a magnet, and its a reddish brown color, so yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryet Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Wow. That really sucks bud. You think it might be coming in from your pipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 What kind of hose do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SafeSearchOff Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 attracts to a magnet, eh? wtf kind of metal is in your hose, most elements/compounds that might be found in your hose i think arent magnetic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaker29902 Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 I have large cobra hoses and I dont see anyway they could have rusted due to anything Im doing I learned the hard way with my first set of hoses so Ive been real careful to keep these dry and whatnot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Eh, I ditched my cobra hoses long ago, they're junk. If I had to speculate, I'd say its from all the smoke/moisture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaker29902 Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 either way I dont think Im in the wrong for asking for a refund from the company I bought them from. I will not name them as I have yet to talk to them so yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaker29902 Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 hmm real quick, any one have any tips/suggestions on how to nicely ask for my money back even though its been while since Ive placed the order? (i.e. over 30 days, but I havent used the hoses but 3-5 times) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinamon Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 you do realize that metals will rust even if they do not come in contact with water right? there is enough moisture in the air to cause metals to oxidize.also, when you smoke with the hose, there is enough moisture coming through the hose from the bubbling in the base to cause rust.

jaker29902 Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 so I should expect my $17 hose to rust and become useless after 4ish uses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would not expect a refund either.These hoses are crud and will rust. This one seems to have rusted a bit quicker than norm... but it will still rust Odd as it sounds - I used to use a hairdryer to blow my hose out (combination of low heat & high blow) JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearsay Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I think this is a perfect time to extol the virtues of the Nammor, nammor nammor nammor nammor nammor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Thread jack averted. This thread is about rusting hoses, not Nammors. saying that Nammors don't rust is a fine solution, but then talking about Nammors, is something else. I've noticed that there are whole shipments of hoses that are prerusted. Several possibilities come to mind, but what seems most likely to me is that stuff was shipped over here surface shipment during a summer and the heat and moisture from the ocean rusted the inner coils. Alternatively, how long things are waiting in customs, stuck next to the ocean might be affecting things, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
