My Hookah Equipment Smells Of Tobacco

[omaka]

For about a week or so ago, i used my hookah for the second time. It was very good and all, but even though i have cleaned it properly (i think), it has this not-good smell of tobacco. How can i remove that? I have tried with water, hand-soap and tooth-paste, but it still doesnt go away.

Appreciate the help.

lemon juice and a brush.
Vinegar and baking soda.

Both of these methods work well.

Agree with Mushrat,

Lemon juice and some scorching hot water for your pipe works wonders.....

Ever think it could just be your hose ghosting? The non washable hoses tend to hold stronger flavors a lot longer than their washable counterpart. Make sure you blow any smoke out of your hose and hang it up so it can air out at the end of each session.

ya, I either use lemon juice and water, or if I'm being cheap I use old beer

Old beer has a similarly nasty smell.

ya but it cleans the hell out of it...one of the few things that can get the ghost out of my oldest nammor hose.

I don't mean old old beer, but the wounded soldiers that sat on the table for a few days

I find that letting my KM soak in a bleach/ammonia mixture really flushes out old flavors.












































I find it important to tell everyone that is a terrible idea. You'll die. Anyways. As much as lemon juice helps, make sure your water is really hot. This will really help give the kick.

Ya clean your rig with chlorine gas,.............always a great idea

My hookah and vase get that smell. Ill clean it with dish soap and scolding hot water. Gets the smell out everytime.

"Hmm... what's this? A white box with the word 'search' inside? I wonder what it does. Let me see... WHOA!!! It searches!!! You mean I don't have to post every time a question pops into my head because someone has probably already asked the same question? Sweet! What a time saver!"


Not to sound like a dick, but please try to search for stuff before you ask. Sometimes it feels like this forum is only a collection of the same twenty questions asked five million different times.


FWIW, I use white vinegar.

if everyone used the search feature we wouldn't have a forum going really...all it would be is dead threads rising.
I like that people have a question then they aren't ashamed to ask it. If you are sick of seeing the same stuff repeated, keep it to yourself and dont read the thread...its sarcasm and dickness like that that scares people away from the forum

[mushrat]

i concur. if you dont like to see the same questions, don't read the topic.

be polite or be gone.
