HookahDuck Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 What do you guys do right after your sessions? I've gotten in the bad habbit of just stashing the pipe in the laundry room for a day or two before going back and cleaning it. Bad, I know. But after a good smoke im not in the mood to sit and clean.What do you guys do? Clean right after? just rinse the bowl and base? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EviL333 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Im guessing it would clean better/easier if you cleaned it right after the smoke (before water dries up + all the green stuff), but that isnt the easiest. I love to just chill and do nothing or I get caught up hanging out with friends or the tv. I usually clean the next smoke. I clean before almost every smoking session, unless I load up two bowls in a row or even three sometimes (bad, i know). I always clean the bowl out bc the tobacco will be smoking/burning a little. Thats me lets hear what other people do.I'm sure it doesnt make a huge difference as long as you clean the living hell out of it before you smoke it the next time.

aronparsons Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I usually smoke at night, so I finish up whatever TV show or movie I've been wasting time with and head to bed or to the computer. I usually dump the water from the base but don't clean until my next session (I try to clean before each one, but sometimes I go a few sessions without doing so). I also have 2 hookahs now so I can alternate when I'm feeling lazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmexx Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 It depends on how I feel. Normally, I smoke at night, which I'm always too lazy to clean afterwards. The best thing to do is give it a good cleaning between all smokes.If not, I clean it before I smoke. I always do a full clean with the brushes and lotsa water. It takes more time but allows for a consistent setup every time.Just my 2 cents, which I know I haven't been giving much of lately, for whatever reason I don't like coming her as much as I used to :(Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I don't clean right after each session which some might think is bad, but because I smoke 2-3 times per day, I just leave the hookah, and when it comes time for my next session, I'll trash all the ash, clean the bowl, rinse out the chamber, and rinse off all the parts of the hookah where connections are made ie the bowl on the stem, the stem to the base, and the hose ports... Mind you, all that rinsing is just to clean off loose ash or goopy liquids from the tobacco. I only give my hookahs a FULL clean roughly 1-2 times per month. That includes cleaning the stem/base with my brush sets, and using a soapy spounge to clean the outside chamber and outside stem. But yeah, no one likes to give the hookah a full cleaning right after a session. But I do love smoking RIGHT after eating a nice meal. Nothing better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishdog Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I like to throw on some music and just take my time and wash everything out...i guess i'm the odd one out that cleans right after but then after that i go and throw on a movie or chill in bed...

JByer323 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 It depends on what time of the day I smoke. If it's at night, the hookah waits 'till the next day to get cleaned. Not ideal, but that's life.If it's during the day and I'm not rushed for time, I'll continue listening to music while I clean the thing, then just continue to veg for a while.

Sonthert Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I always let my hookah sit overnight. I clean it everytime, before smoking. I rinse the head out well, filling the shaft with water. I run water through the main shank and hose port and rinse the jar. When scummies accumulate on the jar, in the hose head piece or in the shank I brush them.

Jonny Haze Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I normally give it a good rinse when ever I'm done smoking, and maybe once every month or two I'll actually go at it with the brushes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c4r80n Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I am new, so I delveloped a habit of cleaning my hookah right away with brushes. I'm sure laziness will take over soon. My hoses are washable, but I don't wash them everytime. hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
