Angelofmercy Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 sooo this might be kind of a dumb question to most of you guys, but how do you pros usually clean ur stem? Is there some brush i'm suppose to be buying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahEnthusiast Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I usually just run some hot water through it after my session or sometimes a couple hours before and then i run my brush through it and rinse again with hot water....seems to get rid of any lingering flavor from previous smokes....soap and things of that sort are a bad idea though due to the fact they leave a nasty taste behind for the next time you smoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Yeah, I only brush every fifth or sixth time when there is clearly black accumulation. Running water through it seems to keep it pretty clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakemonster Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 [img]http://www.wildcatcommerce.com/productimages/large/119/KNB_A-186N.JPG[/img] That is a nylon 12 gauge shotgun bore brush. They cost around $1.50 a piece, and can usually be found at Walmart or a Sporting goods store....... They have em at gunshops too. That or a 20 gauge works well on Syrian stems You put one of those on a cleaning rod that comes in 3 pieces... they cost around $8... you can make it as long or as short as you like. You'll start finding that other sized brushes and jags fit other places.... A brass bristled 7.62mm/.30 up to .410 cal brush works nice on the egyptian stems. Yes, they make the brush sets. but I wear em out too kwik. and the guncleaning stuff ends up being cheaper and easier to locate immediately.

Cornellius Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I disassable my nargile (actualy mine can be disassabled into 5 pieces beside bottle) and put them in hot water, after 15 minutes, I run them through the hot water then cold water, neat cleaning procedure. Cleaning lule is harder though, you need to put it into boiling water and keep for 5 minutes to clean it neatly then with a knife clean the remaining parts. (Well I smoke around 10 times each day so I get more problem with cleaning and ahem as I am writing this post I am smoking my nargile ^^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Also, if you are a mind to soak your hookah, which I don;t recommend, add a pint (1/2 L) of vinegar to the water...shines your metal and dissolves lots of tough crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
