ilikemyusername Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 is it corrosion? if so, you can go to an auto parts store and get this anti battery terminal corrosion stuff, but all it is is vaseline, so if you have any vaseline you can use that, just put a little bit on a q tipso clean your hose portvaseline on the insideoil will work too.

It would have just formed from the condensaton on the pipes or anywhere the vapor can sit awhile and dry out.Did you try tasteing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plannetterror101 Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 hell no. if u saw the way this stuff looked u would not wanna put it in your mouth. the weird thing is after i wash my hookah really well and let it dry i can already see where the stuff is going 2 come back.I gave my hookah the best cleaning ever last night and haven't smoked out of it since and already i can see some of the stuff back again. and this is my new hookah its only like maybe 2 weeks old.

hookah hippie Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Seems like you are getting gunk from your hookah just continue to wash it out thoroughly and you shouldn't have a problem...don't eat it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plannetterror101 Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 thats a good idea thats what i was thinking of doing. but what sort of steralizing liquid or w/e would u suggest using??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigpen Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Get the stuff from a brew shop - its food safe and easy to use. Star San is one such brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
