Bad Taste In New Hose

[puzzler115]

Hey guys! I just bought a new cobra hose off of ebay and it has a pretty bad taste to it when im smoking. Whats the best way to clean/get rid of that nasty taste? Thanks

if its washable, bakingsoda, and lemon juice with warm water. in the showr or bathtub.
if not, just suck it up and smoke with it, the taste should be gone withen 3-4 smokes

a cobra hose is not washable i used to have one. Dont even think about putting some sort of moisture in there. pretty much the only thing i can think of would be to spin it around really fast and beat it against the ground. But if it really is new it shouldnt taste like anything but leather.

I would just use a blow dryer and try to air it out, for washable hoses i would drop lemon juice in it and rinse it.

fold it in half (holding it by the mouthpiece and end that goes in the hookah) and beat it a few times agains the wall, give it a few heavy blows, and then with it folded in two (this time, holding by the center) swing it around (full arm motion, don't be a bitch) and that should fix it

ALTHOUGH

if it's new and it's leather it shouldn't taste like anything

if it's new and washable, it should taste like a tire

if it's new and tastes like something else...then in probably isn't new
