Smelly Vase

[frost91]

So the other day i had people over to smoke and then my friend had his KM out. I went to fill up his water and it smelt like fart. I was like "how can you smoke this" and he was like we never clean it. So i ignored that fact and filled up my tri metal and then we smoked. After they left i was cleaning out my hookah and smelt my vase and it was slightly less smelly, but regardless it still smelled. I ran it with hot water and then we alcohol and the smell didnt go away. Finally i had to shake the alcohol in my vase and it went away. Why does my vase stink?

Usually a mix of stale smoke, shisha juice, and with many hookahs, residue from the stem itself. My friend's hookah is going on two years, and it's brass, so the water is usually green and full of stank... stays in the base a bit too sometimes.

Do you have a vase brush. I just use hot water and the brush after every smoke and my base smells fresh and clean.

That's a waste of beer. I dribble in a little dishwashing soap, and some water, shake weel then rinse. Works wonders, you don't even need the brush unless it's been a long time.

Lemon juice works really well...

just curious, but has anyone ever tried putting their base or brass stem in the dishwasher on a light rinse cycle?

would that work or be bad for the hookah?

[Codename067]

I will guess that you use a regular, Egyptian bowl?

yes if it is a hand painted base like a km or a traditional vase with any gold leafing, but if it is a mya,cheap chinese or hybrid vase it works great

you dont put a whole beer in there, you put a little bit and mix it with water.

if i'm using beer to clean my hookah, hose (nammor) stem and vase i use like 2 whole beers. but i bought a 12 pack of shit beer just to clean hookah. although it hink guinness would work better than steel reserve anyways... but i would rather drink my guinness much more!
