Between Smokes.

[JEEP :)]

So i was just wondering if there is anything to do to the hookah if your switching flavors? I just empty the bowl and run water through it and wipe it off. Other than that nothing. Should i be doing more?(changing water, cleaning stem?)

thanks

If its right after I get done smoke one flavor, I'll just clean the bowl and pack it again. No rinsing of stem, no changing of water. Now if its the next day, it gets cleaned... usually

[Matto]

I wash the bowl between packs, and change the water daily. I usually try to clean the stem once a week, and my Nammor whenever I decide it needs it.

i switch water in the vase but dont clean the stem.

[agunn1231]

i clean out the bowl or grab a different bowl if i dont wanna rinse the bowl out...i change water daily, sometimes between smokes but usually not. and i clean the stem every week or when ever it needs it

[Travis]

I just change the bowl if its right/soon after.
More than a few hours ill change the water and give the stem a bath

[Chreees]

Between flavors if I smoke different ones in the same day I don't do anything except change the tobacco, of course cleaning the bowl and drying it out... When I'm done smoking for that day I'll thoroughly clean everything. NOTHING sits uncleaned overnight.

If its bowl after bowl jsut clean teh bowl . normally since i sleep before bed i leave the water and steam untouched till next session when i clean stem and bowl. Oh i do change water and clean steam if im going from regular shihsa to tangires

try massaging the hose port...and then gently caress the stem....stare longingly at the virile downstem and give the tray a fast and hard spin...

wait....wut?



ummm...i just swap one bowl out with another...

[KeepItSimple]

I always empty the water out at the end of a session (whether it be one bowl, or three). But I will only change the water between bowls in the same session if the water has started to turn a darker color, obviously it doesnt get dark dark, but if its gets a hue to it, then it gets changed.

I rarely have to do that, so normally i just clean the bowl, and blow out the smoke from the hose and base.

[Venger]

swap bowls and keeps smoking. Usually clean everything the following day when I set up to smoke again.

swap bowls and go go. get more bowls you poor kids.

[Stuie]

I swap out bowls and keep going usually do this for a few days then switch hookahs.

[bellydancerakn]

I clean everything after every smoke, since the most i might smoke is 2 or 3 bowls a day and each session is at least a hour and I probably go a few hours between sessions this is not a big deal.

And yes I know that was a run on sentance gone mad

[antouwan]

if switching flavors i'll usually at least change the water. if i'm feeling super chippers i'll rinse the stem...

[A13lackFish]

i change the water typically, and use new foil as well as clean the bowl with soapy warm water.

[Canon]

just change the bowls, i change the water and clean the hookah if its dirty.

[GoofyTooth]

I wash the bowl, change the water, and clean the stem between every new flavor... i thought everyone did this but apparently not. Odd.

[srawas89]

If I switch flavors I will rinse the stem if I am going from a strong flavor to a lighter flavor.

[404notfound]

If I'm sticking to the same flavor I just clean out the bowl and reload.
If I'm changing flavors I'll change the water as well, but I don't do that normally unless I'm switching from something like AF peach and the water gets a darkish hue. I use my Amer if I'm planning to smoke some Tangiers since it usually overpowers the AF or al waha I mainly smoke in the pharonie.

At the end of the day I'll leave the water and replace it the next day or whatever. I clean the stem and hose once a week.
