shishafan Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 i have seen people use compressed air but i do not have access to that. Also others say let air dry, but i don't want to run the risk of rust. So what are some other ways i can dry my hookah from the inside?thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SafeSearchOff Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 using your stem brush, wrap it in a paper towel.or use like boiling hot water like i do to rinse it. it dries ZUPPA QUICK.also - blow driers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKammenzind Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hrm, I never really thought about it that much. What I've done is to just shake the stem and it sprinkles most of the water off, then I'll run a cleaner through. I try to clean my hookah after every time I smoke out of it, and in the time it takes to run that oversized pipe-cleaner through it... the stem is more or less dry. I suppose if you're worried about it you could always just cut a strip of fabric (use an old t-shirt or something?) and stuff that through the stem either with the cleaner, a bit of wire, a fencing foil, or a good old-fashioned stick.

oolatec Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Sometimes, I'll even just blow through the stem to get most of the water droplets out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfaltous Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 It's times like this that I feel blessed with a nice dry climate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterboi Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I rinse mine with extremely hot water then blow compressed air through and then use a towel for the rest to assure I get as much as I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinthecity Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Piece of old T-shirt + string + paper clip (to use as weight)tie it together, drop the paper clip through, pull string to pull t-shirt through stem.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Pour a bit of non diluted alcohol down the stem. Doesnt matter whether its rubbing alcohol or drinking alcohol. Plug up one end and slosh it about a little then hold it upside down the quickly turn it over to pour out the alcohol very quickly. It'll catch left over water and the alcohol will evaporate extremely quickly itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaia.plateau Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 A gun-cleaning pole, with cloth or paper towel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shishafan Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 the hanger i tried to use but didn't work, as the line wasn't that straight and it would have scraped the stem. i just took a blow dryer, put it on cold, and just took turns switching sides. is that ok?
