slingham Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 This is my first actual post on here besides the Intro, so whats up everyone.I've got a quick question. I've got a 2+ year old 2-Hose Abyss that I bought off Hookah-Shisha when I was in college. We never cleaned it properly and as often as we should of and now I'm living on my own and I'm really starting to get into Hookah but it seems I get headaches every time I smoke. I'm just wondering if the residue and rust that has built up on the valve's where the hoses go in are the cause or if it's something else. I'm hoping it's fixable because it's a nice piece but I have a feeling I might be in the market for a new piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryno Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 If any part of your stem is rusting, I'd say you are due for a new hookah... Not sure about the rust and headaches though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquidglass Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 IF you are going to get a new hookah unless you're getting a mya I wouldn't recommend Hookah-shisha.com their hookahs aren't KM quality in my humble opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egoncalo Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Hookah-shisha has MYA's though, and that would be a similar style to your Abyss hookah. I have both an MYA and a KM hookah, and I love them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigor Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 PM me for a vendor in SoCal who has lots of nice KM's and Mya's, better prices, fast shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momatik Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Have you tried deep cleaning your hookah?I think all hookahs can have their valves removed, in which case I would suggest taking them apart, and scrubbing them a lot.Also, it could be your hose(s). You can make a DIY hose if your looking to same some dough, and have a bigger ID. But if you really want to buy another hookah, then don't let me stop you. Just keep us updated .

I was on a mission today, I had no patience an wanted to find one asap lol. But I still want to get some mods for it. I didn't know about the diffuser and different hoses til I joined this board so I'll check out those places for those things. I'm just finishing up my first bowl on the new piece an its SOOO legit. This little hookah is quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
