surfpico Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 I just cleaned both my hookahs - gave them a full-fledged bath (minus the hoses of course) and got them peachy clean and looking fineeee.That and I placed all my shisha into little baggies and labeled it.I felt the need to go hookah cleaning crazy...well, that and I just didn't want to write an 8 page paper. Procrastination is a killer.Sorry for this lame post, but I felt the need to share my hookah excitement with others who might just get this excited too!

aronparsons Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Awesome. I find myself cleaning before each session now because Tangiers tobacco makes it necessary. My hoses could use a good cleaning though, I'm too lazy to wash and dry every few nights ;-) Maybe one night this week... (as I keep one to smoke with).

Maad Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Nice, I just cleaned mine...lots of green gunk! :(I always put my shisha in seperate baggies and label them. I even consider refrigerating it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yashman19 Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Peachy clean? Don't you mean sqeeky clean?Anywoo, just to contribute sort of, I too like to give my hookahs a thurough cleaning atleast once per month. After each session, I will rinse the bowl, the top of the stem (gooey from the juicy bowl), the glass chamber, and the part of the stem that goes into the chamber with just water, then once each month I'll use the long, narrow hookah stem brush and give it a good cleaning.I normally just take the entire hookah with me into the shower because when I am pushing the stem in and out, dirt and grim normally fly everywhere, and my hookah is too tall to clean in my sink. Its just easier to to do in the shower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve07 Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 A clean hookah is a happy hookah. I give mine a good scrub once a week, but rinse it out after each session. I store my shisha in little tupperware bowls and refrigerate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I considered putting my nargile into bath as well but I just feel... eerie... anyways I put all metal pieces into boiling water and I boil lüle (bowl) for 5 minutes on oven in water... when everything cooled off just wash it with clean warm water and its as good as new!

[LB] Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 squeegie is always the best method. Get an old cloth, a squeegee (or some wire) and a tube of household bleach! kills all the bacteria dead. Your hookah will smoke like factory fresh. I made a thread a while back on creating squeegies- maybe some of the new guys will find it useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfpico Posted May 5, 2006 Author Share Posted May 5, 2006 I thought bleach was bad for your hookah. The Great Tangiers said so... and I listen to Tangiers like he's a hookah god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Bleach and glycerine produce chlorine gas. If you inhale chlorine, it is very bad. Chlorine gas was the first gas weapon ever used in warfare (Germany, WWI). In fact, Adolf Hitler got a really big whiff of chlorine when he was an artillery corporal and made him deathly afraid of gas weapons, hence the Nazis avoidance of them. If you are careful, it should be OK, but why take the chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanguineSolitude Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 see but i dont understand that surpico, i mean yeah steak tastes great, but i would think the charcoal would start to burn it fairly quickly not to mention the logistics of fitting the steak in the bowl. I think ill stick with ma'assel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpico Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 Ooo, no, see - you get yourself a nice piece of skirt steak and you marinate it in olive oil and herbs. Then you put it on the grill - cook it to medium rare and then slice it up nice and thin.You then have yourself some nice juicy...steak. For your hookah of course. :)Then mix any left over blood in with the water in the base. TASTY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
