KillZedKill Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I've been smoking hookah for about two years, and for the past month or two I havnt been able to taste hookah too well. Any flavor. Everything tastes, boring and not tastey! The only flavor I've been able to get a good deal of taste out of is mint, and even then i can hardly taste it anymore..My hookah set up has always been the same, so I know im not doing anything wrong, hookah wise. Should i just stop smoking for a while? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename067 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Clean it up. Could be really dirty [the base all well, get a special base brush and clean that up with cheap vodka]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 A nice deep clean and a week break from the nargile will solve all problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 "Accidentally" drink a sip of tea that washes over your tongue and burn all your taste buds off and let them grow back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKammenzind Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I've had the same problem many times... why? I haven't a clue why.One thing I will say is that smoking a cigar and a hookah at the same time really brings out the flavour in both. I often can't taste the shisha flavour much at all, even while other people smoking with me do, but if I smoke a cigar and then hit the hookah it tastes fabulous... probably the contrast between the darker, more earthy cigar and the lightly flavoured hookah smoke.Along the same lines it might work to have a stiff cup of coffee before or maybe during a smoke.

gaia.plateau Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 If mint is the only flavour that comes through, it's almost certainly an issue of residue build up / dirty hookah. Scrub that mother out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansLight Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 If you have a cold (as EL does) then your not going to taste anything, or if a leak has formed somewhere in your hookah air can be getting in diluting the flavor, and then mint which is just about the strongest flavor around will be the only thing that can get through. But yea, clean the crap outta your hookahs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sss8789 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 your hookah could be clean but it might be your hose if it isn't washable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillZedKill Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 I figured it out. Even though I rinse my QT's common chamber after every use, it has built up a good layer of delicious hookah funk. HahaI need to pick up a brush and clean it when I can. I did the best I could with this crumby brush I've had for a while but its not tough enough for the job. I smoked and actually got flavor though, so i know thats its just a dirty lil hookah.
