Canon Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 any ideas? i dont want to wash it, i was thinking about spraying febreeze in it, it would smell nice and probably add to the buzz do i just use lemon water? what do you guys do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charley Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 what I found is basicly if it is washable thats the only real way. one of my buddies used to take a spray bottle with lemon juice in it and spray it into the tip of the handle but all it did was add a lemon scent to the smell insted of getting rid of it. usualy I just replace my hose when it gets to bad.

Geiseric Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 (edited) I'm sure you've seen other people talking about washing it, then pressure drying it with air. I don't know, I've never done it. I would think that even that might cause damage. I typically don't buy them for that very reason. I smoke too much, therefore my hoses need to be washed constantly. The only non-washable hoses I own are the ones that come with my hookahs, which I replace with washable hoses. I have one Egyptian hose I would seriously think about doing that with, just because it is a really nice hose, but I don't have a air compressor, so I would have to bum someone else's, so it hasn't happened as of yetI certainly wouldn't recommend febreezing the hose though, it uses lipids as a method of sticking in your nostrils, covering the stench that you dislike. Aside from the unpleasantness of the thought of constantly inahling lipids, I can't think that it would taste very good.

Sariél Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Spray it on your tongue first to see if you like the taste! --> --> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskysibe Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 You should always have a couple of hoses. I personally have 2 washable hoses, 1 for mint flavors since it WILL destroy a hose in a heartbeat, and 1 for fruit flavors. If I liked coffee flavors I would have a 3rd designated just for that. To answer your question, you wont be able to get the smell out of a non washable hose.Billy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you get a 4 months constant use out of a non washable I think your lucky.Just bin it and get a true washable. Nammor springs to mind.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been waiting for 2 weeks now..... Ive been calling everyday for the past 2 weeks and they keep telling me "we're expecting it to come in tomorrow..." As a matter of fact, i just got off the phone with them and they said next couple days and whoever preordered, gets priority first on stock supply.

ubernerd83 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I wouldn't recommend the pressure drying method. I did that to my Mya hose once, and it sprung leaks up and down the entire length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geiseric Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Interesting. Was it a rather old hose, or fairly new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it a rather old hose, or fairly new?Maybe a month or two old, and I smoke at least once a day.I've found the best way to dry out a hose that I've washed is to swing it around so that centrifugal force causes the water to fly out. I look absolutely ridiculous when I'm doing this in my yard, but it tends to work. Of course I'm also probably tearing up my hose... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geiseric Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 (edited) I do that too, but I blow on one end while I do it, and then I hang it up after. But that is with washable hoses, and I think what those that put forth this method were going for was an extremely fast dry, as to not damage the hose(of the unwashable variety) with water. I'm not saying it works, I don't know, haven't tried. I've just seen it said a few times on the boards.

Hookah Master Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 i dont know about getting the smell out of the hose but getting all the crap outta the hose i just use an air compressor and spray the hose with that compressed air usually big chunks of charcoal come out... its pretty gross... stupid cobra hose =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
