EvansLight Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Well today i went to smoke my hookah, and got sick during the session. I mean sick, doubled over in pain in my stomach sick. Not your normal nicotine sick, i mean fucked up. So i waited it out and after a good bit i started feeling better. Im not almost back to normal, so i decided to clean my hookah. Now i give all new hookahs a good bath before the first smoke, but i didn't wash the hose first. I didnt mind the plastic taste, hell it went away fast, Cola is a powerful flavor. But what happened next made me wonder if i should have washed the hose first.I put some water in it, and sloshed it about in the hose, and when i dumped it out into the sink, it was dark purple colored I did that 3 more times, and then once more with a lemon water mix. Now its drying out and dripping purple onto the paper towel below it. Did this happen to anyone else? I mean was this normal for you? EL just wants to pack another bowl and smoke (probably going to go with washed just to be on the safe side for tonight) but i don't wanna get sick like that again.I also went ahead and washed the hookah extremely well this time; full lemon water baths, brushes, taking the mya fully apart, the works. it seemed fine other then the odor of cola (i swear it is damn near as sticky a smell/flavor as mint) and looked to be a perfect hookah. I really hope it was just what i found in the hose and i washed it out XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Messiah Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I didn't wash my nammor either and some purple shit came out. I thought it was paint rubbing off or something. Hasn't happened again since I first got it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechAnt Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hmmmm. I didn't get purple crap after washing it. Its just the best hose I've ever used. Try cleaning it with some rubbing or drinking alcohol. That'll help dissolve whatever is in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shisha fan Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 maybe it`s because the nammor hose allows the throughput of higher smoke volumes and your body is used to the volumes that come through the mya hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahDude831 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 thats normal, mine did it, a nice lemon/h20 mix cleaned it out.. it looks and smells like the plumbing solvent and glue that goes on the pvc in your house. always wash your shit, especially when there is a sticker that says made in egypt on it!!!!!!

I smoke Tangiers all the time and with the nammor it really fucked us up!! We switched to a mya hose and we were ok. It's great with AF though.

THe hose might we a wide diameter, but the outlet port on the hookah aint XD Plus ive smoked off mya wides before, which are just as big. As ive said i dont think it was normal sick of baccy kinda stuff, i know how that feels and this didnt fell like it. Hell i remember the first time i smoked tanigers, i got it And this was different, more like that poisoned kinda feeling XD ANd yea, i know what that feels like...

jfaltous Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I have a brand new black nammor, just washed it for the first time, and just like yours there was purple shit that came out on the first rinse. I rinsed it a couple more times with lemon juice added, but breathing through it I still get that plasticy taste to it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookah_Bob3 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I have 2 nammor 1.0s and nothing purple ever came out of mine. Might be a thing with the new ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canon Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 i have razan. first time i washed it some stuff came out, not purple but like a faded black (cause of the water)i assumed it was the coloring on the removable hose part. nothing since then.

adamjames Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I have a Nammor 2.0 and nothing came out when I cleaned it. When I first got it the plastic smell was very intense but a good soak in baking soda and lemon juice did wonders. I wouldn't have dreamed of smoking it without washing it first.

Willsee2 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I got my nammor a few months ago, and had heard that the only drawback was the plastic smell/taste that comes with it. But like everyone else says, good bath and a few smoke sessions does wonders. Never gotten sick from using it, and havent seen any strange liquids either.

MNH Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 My Razan didn't have any either. But it is always a good idea to give it a rinse when its new to get rid of all the dust particles and anything else from the factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZenSilk Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Hmm, you havea black hose, and the stuff that came out was purple?I think it's the dye used to color either the little fluffy puffies on the ends or something else. But i for sure think it's dye, and that would make you very very sick, that's alot of inhaled chemical fumes man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfaltous Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Well the hose inside is blue (on my black nammor) ... and the amount of purple stuff that came out was a lot to be just leaked dye... either way, I doubt its good for your health But I did another rinse today and the water came out nice and clean, although I can't seem to rid it of the plastic taste coming through the hose. I'll try smoking with it tonight I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
