Canon Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 (edited) vodkaif that doesnt work, its probably your flavor thats making the smell and the vase is just retaining the shisha smell Edited March 24, 2008 by Canon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoop Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 if it has a common chamber you need to scrub the inside of that clean, however its impossible to do in some hookahs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1v3th3ad Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 vodka/everclear has worked for me cleaning stems, I'm sure it'd work for the vaseotherwise, try a dishwasher if possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoop Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 420 cleaner probably has rubbing alcohol in it. if that didn't work i doubt vodka will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be marginally cheaper to clean my hookah with 7-year old Metaxa as opposed to buying shitty Polar Ice vodka. And the former is actually suitable for drinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmunRa Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I use lemon juice or the dishwasher if things get bad. I use the dishwasher on my unpainted bases, so be careful if you use this method and yours is painted. Also, I managed to break my Mya QT base (which are otherwise indestructable) doing this, so be careful how you rig it up inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dracnor Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Ganesha, might want to edit out what else you cleaned with denture tabs. Any mention of NHT (Not-Hookah-Tobacco) or NHT paraphernalia is, I believe, a no-no on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austinthecity Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 interesting, no one mentioned baking powder. fill your vase with lemon juice, baking powder, and water and leave it overnight. baking powder helps a lot with smells; that's why people leave a box open in the fridge..
