rbyers Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Clean that bitch! Rubbing alcohol + salt in the downtube! Clean the crap out of it! Definitly use a brush. And when you do clean it up properly give it a light coat of some vegetable oil to keep it from rusting more. but before you oil you can use lemon juice for cleaning rather than the alcohol; it will be pretty good because of the acid and might let a delicious lemon taste remain.Hella.

Also, you should not leave water in the base for extended periods of time - I rinse and dry my hookahs after every smoke session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZenSilk Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 (edited) HOLY TAPDANCING CHRIST! That's just sick... i swear that it's a common known fact that you change the water...Brass isn't the same color as rust. Rust is reddish-brown, brass is golden color. Brass doesn't rust either, it gets this green oxidized scum that comes out when you wash it with something stronger than water. So i'm pretty sure that your hookah is rusted, AND you havn't ever changed the water. I bet you if you smoke any more from that thing you'll die.Ohhh yeah.. GET A NEW HOOKAH.

MechAnt Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 That's your problem! Banana Shisha! No one really makes a fantastic Banana. The best i've had was Fusion. Anyway, every second or third smoke give the pipe a good scrubbing. Just keep it clean and its all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
