Braavos Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 anyone else have an experience like this?i'm smoking fantasia margarita, and i just sucked a thin, clear shard of something through my hose. i'm hesitant to call it glass because of all the red flags that that would raise, but it was similarly textured. it was very small and very thin and clear, and broke apart in my fingers. could this have been from my base somehow? or maybe the hose? (i'm smoking out of the bambino) or a byproduct of glycerine or something? any ideas? just want to make sure i'm not inhaling anything dangerous.

jfaltous Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I vaguely recall hearing something about bits of glue sometimes found inside the downstems in Myas, that had hardened into long thin pieces but were quite brittle... could be something to do with that..

chromecarz00 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Naw it was part of your hookah, NO WAY it could have been fantasia, what bowl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braavos Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 It could have easily been glue. I hadn't even considered that. It was crystal clear though, and triangular. Kind of reminds me of the first time I found tartrate crystals in my wine and thought I was drinking glass. I'm sure it's nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamscott06 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Def either the hose or actual pipe. Thats scary though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikemyusername Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 WHO'S to say it's not glass.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKammenzind Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 That's... rather disturbing. I'd say to give your hookah a good hard scrubbing, and possible get new hoses. Don't wanna be inhaling anything like that I'd think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxik916 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 It might be in the shisha I love fantasia but sometimes when I pack a bowl of it it feels like ive been scratched or poked with something sharp. I just figured it was a stem or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 what type of hookah? Mya's sometime have clear pieces of plastic that come out of the stems. I've found a few of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mya's sometime have clear pieces of plastic that come out of the stems. I've found a few of them.Yeah check the downpipe if you see a plastic clear piece it is glue, I just loosened mine by scrubbing the downstem repetitively till it got loose then I pulled it out with pliers. Heard it was to help make a bond where the pipe is connected, and will eventually come off according to a MYA rep I spoke with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysolz Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 This scares me because it ain't never happened to me but ONE time, and it was fantasia margarita... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjelder Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Happened to me once as well. Coincidentally, I was smoking fantasia.. but I don't see how you could suck fantasia all the way down through the stem, and back up through the hose?? How is that possible?

liquidglass Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 well I've smoke fantasia plenty of times and never had this problem. So sounds alot like the hookah. Glazing from the bowl dripping down the stem (depends on the bowl, could have a clear coat over it) or something in the stem. I would scrub the hose port, hose, stem, and everything. Then put a diffuser on the bottom just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Eek. Yeah definitely check your hose and wash your entire hookah for safety measures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 lol, physically speaking this cannot be in the tobacco. in theory there would need to be something in the tobacco that when heated up and cooled formed grass shards that can travel out of the water and up into the hose port.

Codename067 Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 wha..what??Something was in the hose, and it just happened to come up when it did.Just make sure that your hose is always clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I must agree its likely something from the hose. The pieces of "glue" or whatever it is has always shown up when I was cleaning out my stem. No way it can go from the tobacco and through your hose intact. Proably bigger than the holes in the bowl for one thing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neu318 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 This always happens when I use the MYA hoses. I'm almost 100% sure its the glue or dried up finish they use to coat the wood. I wouldn't be too worried. It is very unpleasant though to suck it in while your smoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalutika Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 There is no possible way for anything to start at the bowl and end up at you mouth unless it is a gas or vapor (i.e. smoke). As previously stated it would need to pass through the bowl's holes, down the stem, into the water, into the air above the water, be sucked up by the hose without any water being sucked up too, and then reach your mouth.
