Km New Hose Taste

[gunsboy]

I have been smoking with my new KM TriMetal for few weeks.

The pull on it is unbelievable. I love it.

I washed the hookah many many times. There was a plastic taste. It ruined the taste of the shisha.

I just replaced the hose with one of those cheap AF plastic hoses and the bad taste is gone.

I really like the KM hose, but the taste is stuck in it. I assume it is not a washable hose. Few weeks of smoking with it, twice a day on average and it did not help much.

What can I do ?

Take the tips off and run a clean (not wet) stem brush through it and see if that helps.

Yeah, I'm with Voski on this one, dry long very soft stem brush.

Also, I'm curious as to why the description of the thread is "Lung Cancer?"

maybe it tastes like lung cancer?


y'all havent chewed on a tumor lately?

And here i sat and thought i would enjoy this pizza, instead its all over the floor in digested form...

I called it Lung Cancer because everytime I smoke I feel like I am inhaling chemicals that would cause lung cancer. *cough cough*

Ummm....we are inhaling chemicals that could cause lung cancer...its called tobacco.

deff try the dry brush, if you can get your hands on an air compressor i found that that helped get rid of the taste, and believe me i was skeptical 2 at first but gave it a shot and it worked.

If its that hose with the KM cloth on the hose that matches the scepter and stem in color. It'll stay that way.

if you are talking about the km ultimate hose, i disagree, i have had a couple of these, none of them hold smell, and none of them tasted like anything foul. Maybe some of them have this issue, but every one i have had has never had an issue, other than the first smoke taste that you get from almost all new hoses.

There are also members on here who swear by them such as codename who has owned about 4-5 of these if i remember correctly and has never had this issue.

[Sonthert]

I've talked to two people with the opposite results. I also owned one, that was a sample, it had the same problem...so, I'm not sure what to say.
