thankey24 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 (edited) Hey,I recently brought a Pipe from Dubai, and brought it back to U.K. When i tried to use the hookah, no smoke was being produced and rather strange black bits gathered in the vase and the connection between the stem and the hose, which is never ending, please can someone tell me what is happenin???

modisess Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 (edited) pics pls? could be helpful..probably the inside of the hookah has deteriorated, or maybe something has blocked the inside of the stem..

mattathayde Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 did you wash it before your first smoke?-matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryno Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Can you get some pics of the hookah and the black bits? I'd try cleaning it out completly, and blowing out the hose with an air compressor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Without pics i would think the stem is clogged..black stuff is probably build up. Fill up the bathtub with water and baking soda, let it soak for a couple hours and make Canon's Stem Brush and clean that bad boy!http://www.hookahforum.com/?showtopic=20218 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thankey24 Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 [attachment=2039:Image004.jpg] for the first image, it shows whenever i put water in this bit thats when the black stuff start to come out [attachment=2042:Image007.jpg] for the second picture, it shows where exactly the black stuff comes out from, sometimes i get orange things and yellow tingzzz LOOOL!:| [attachment=2041:Image006.jpg]For this picture, it shows exactly what the black things look like (das the closest i could get to taking the picture without it comin out fuzzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thankey24 Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 oh yeh another thing, if i take off my bowl, and look down straight directly into the stem, i can see into my vase, should that happen or should there be anything else in the stem?

momatik Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 No that's how it should be.The black bits are just the tobacco falling into the vase. That's no big deal as long as it's not too much.Try adding more heat. Usually that's the issue. Make sure everything is air tight as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
