inino Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 my hoses last me 6 months minimum without ghosting too much. i blow them out before and after every use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1024 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 run something that wont cause it to rust through?grain alcohol is my best bet on that, though i dont know of its cleaning powers or if it will leave any aftertaste.another thought would be to use acetone, because it would flush out the hose and then evaporate very fast! im not sure how easily accessible acetone is though...

DrunK Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 try running some 420 cleaner through it and let it hang dry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antouwan Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 tell me about it, after i smoked AF cappuccino out of my KM hose everything tastes like AF cappuccino, even tangiers lucid mint tasted like i put half/half cappuccino and mint...disappointing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchard Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I've never had ghosting issues with either of my ultimates. The taste/smell does linger, but is covered up as soon as I get a few draws of a new flavor.I do use one for fruity flavors, and another for stronger stuff like mint and Kashmir though.

Codename067 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I've had mine 3 Ultimates for 3 years now, they're still up and running with no hint of flavor from previous bowls. I smoked/tasted exactly what I packed in the bowl every time.I am not sure why you are having this problem. Perhaps, try to keep changing flavors. Say, don't pack cinnamon every time you repack your bowl. Change it up a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremyk Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Yeah I've had my km hose for almost a yr now n before and after I blow it out which takes care of the flavor ghosting. But if I forget to blow them out the last flavor I smoked does linger for a couple of hits then goes away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chromecarz00 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 some of the stronger flavors will ghost, cappachino cinamon you get the gisttry what i call the glacier volcano, 10 altoids in the base with warm to hot water in the bottom with pure mint on top, it should help; itll be a strong flavor but hopefully your hose will take it in.a bit of heat on the hose wouldnt hurt. say hairdryer. reason i say mint is A) if it ghosts its not a big deal and its not a really strong flavor so itll go away after a bitworked for me when i needed it awhile back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
