Clooged Hookah Hose :(

[BLH]

What could be clogging my hookah hose? I didn't buy it and it was used once or twice before I got a chance to use it, and I think the third time it was used we noticed it was clogged. I though for a second that it was one of our ball bearings that was sucked up into it but it is way too big to accidentally be sucked into it (usually there is a cross shape of rubber that will normally stop it but that had been torn or somethin weird, i have dumbass friends) What is the problem? It isnt completely clogged it is like trying to suck through maybe 2-3 of those tinnyyy coffee straws.

I could be wrong about it being clogged after a few uses, it may have come like that I honestly am not sure. But if it were clogged after we got it is there any possibilities of what could have randomly clogged it?
Thanks.

most likely something inside it has broken loose and become lodged in it. if it is washable you can just run water through it and that should break up the deposit.

with my hoses that arent washable i hit them a few times on a flat surface (something without bends or ridges so you dont bend the wire around the lining of the hose) then blow through it the same way the air travels when you take a drag. you should only do that at your own risk, because it can damage your hose if done improperly.

another thing you can do if it is now washable is run water through it anyway and afterwards spin it around rapidly and hang it to dry for 24-28 hours. again, do that at your own risk because it can cause damage if it is a leather hose
