Dishwasher Soap Taste

[F16WarBird]

Are you washing your hoses too?

I use generic dishwashing detergent on my hookah but only use plain water to rinse my hose out.

This ustto happen to me. I think it was because I dident fully wash out the vase and there were still little particles of soap left over. Dont have the problem any more though

Some soaps, especially dishwasher soaps leave a residue that is hard to wash out. That's why I don't like using soap of any kind. If you feel a deep cleaning is necessary, use beer or vodka.

just use bottled water to clean your hookah. Voss, Fiji, and Evian are a few i like to use between sessions. When using a vodka, make sure that it's a triple distilled vodka: Something like Grey Goose, Armadale, or Chopin should do the trick. When you're done, make sure to go over the hookah with an exposed flame, to torch any of the remaining liquor. Rinse using the above brands. This should keep your hookah spotless and pristine.

That wouldn't burn/crack the glass or melt the plastic?
