gunsboy Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Everytime I do a full cleaning of my Shisha It takes a couple of smoking sessions for the good taste to come back. Alot of people suggested cleaning the shisha after every 3-5 times but this ruins the taste. What is the best way to keep a shisha at its best ?

ioannisds Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Uh, what are you cleaning it with? Please don't say soap of any kind; this will ALWAYS leave a sh*tty taste afterwards. I actually clean my hookah after every single smoke, and it tastes perfect the next time. All I use is hot water and my brushes. Maybe if you elaborate on the process you are using, we can help you out a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsboy Posted October 14, 2005 Author Share Posted October 14, 2005 I smoke on a daily basis (almost) I clean it with very hot water and the brushes, plus I wash the hose with hot water and dry it by spinning it around. I have cleaned it using soup but I only do this like once every 3-6 months. I usually just smoke one kind of ma'ssel for a long period of time. Whenever I clean the hose with hot water the taste feels alot weaker for the first couple of days without cleaning. Probably, it does not make sense or maybe it is time for me to invest some cash on a new Shisha. I don't know ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypress Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Get some lemmon juice to clean it out. It works good on the hose too. Just make sure your hose is completely dry before useing. Like clean the hose before you go to work or class and llet it dry the whole day before using it. It would be better to dry it outside or all day and over night inside. I only clean my hose once a month or after a strong flavor that does not want to come out of the hose. Mint, and Hazelnut does that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 If you are smoking the same flavour through the same hose for a long time, you are probably getting additional flavour from the hose itself. So when you wash it out, you are losing that extra flavour source and it all tastes a little bland until you build up the hose source again. Try drawing on the hose without it the bowl being packed, see what you taste... My take on it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAP Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I've never had this problem and I always clean my hookah using dish soap. I just put one small drop town the stem and then scrub with the brush. All the smelly green stuff just comes out with the foam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjt486 Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Just a tip, shisha refers to the tobacco The hookah or narghile is the pipe When I saw the title, i was like eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakemonster Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 uh... technically.... Shisha is the pipe. How did Shisha get associated as the tobacco name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjt486 Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 My mistake, Ive always seen it called that way. I meant to put AFAIK in that post because I had a sneaking suspicion I was incorrect, but a quick search seemed to agree.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
