Chreees Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 So I bought a black Nammor hose from Allstar and it came ghosted as fuck. Thanks Tony. Nah, he apologized and didn't know it was that bad. I only paid $10 shipped for it, so I'm not upset at all about it. But the problem is, I canNOT get the stank out of this damn hose. It's like that episode of Seinfeld where the dude drives Jerry's car and he can't get rid of the BO. Except, in this case it isn't BO, thank God. I've tried many things. Water. Water with baking soda. Water with baking soda and lemon juice. Rubbing alcohol. Beer (Yuengling). And in all different kinds of combinations... Guess what? The stank is still there. I'm about to just throw this hose out. Or see if she can be ripped apart to modify. But then what if the parts still smell? It may just be the handle, though... So what do you guys think I could do to get rid of the smell? Or should I just say fuck it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allstar Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Once again, I am very sorry about this. I really didn't notice it. When I get home I am going to check the rest of them. Just toss it out. I will have a brand new one sent to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 Nah dude, you really don't have to do that, haha. I just wanna get the stank out of this one. But I appreciate you wanting to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allstar Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 To late, just ordered the new one. It should be there in the week. Sorry again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyCallMeDave Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Well, I'm glad this was settled! Congratulations Chris on your new stanky and non-stanky black nammor hoses! I always found that the hotter the water, less the stank. Hot hot water and lemon juice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Is it possibly something in some other part of the hose? Something in the ends? Unless there is mold growing in the corrigated ripples of the hose that you havent managed ot get out I'd say give it up, use the ends for a custom job.

Chreees Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 It wasn't relevant... I guess I didn't have to put that. Sorry if it seemed I was trying to make Tony look bad or something. Tony, you really didn't have to do that, but I appreciate it brotha. Shoot me your addy and I'm going to send you a thank you package. As for this stanky Nammor, it's going to be ripped apart and then I'll see what I can salvage from it to use on a custom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] A whole forum seeing that Tony sold him a ghosted nammor is more efficient in getting what you believe to be correct action, than something like a PM. Even if the hose wasn't ghosted at all, this would put pressure on Tony to do more to please Chris. Not saying thats whats going on here, but thats the best reason I can think of.

Allstar Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Chris was just mentioning that I sold it to mess with me. He stated the price because getting a hose for $10 and the seller paid shipping means he really hasn't wasted to much on it, so if he has to toss it, it won't bother him.

[/quote] I didn't do it for any reason. I didn't want him to send me a new hose. I was more or less busting his chops for it. I really didn't care he sent me a ghosted hose. I only paid $10 for it. I'd be upset a little bit if I paid twice or more for it. Also, if I recall correctly, I posted the trade thread stating that the hose didn't have to be perfect, as my original plan was to modify it anyway. But I changed my mind and wanted to just de-ghost it so I could use it as-is, because it's in great shape; just can't get the stank out. Hence why I created this thread, to see if anyone had any additional ideas to help me. Don't worry Bobby; I'm going to compensate him for the price and shipping of sending me the hose with the thank you package I'm sending him.

I'm not trying to get anything out of him. It was a honest mistake on his part and it really honestly didn't bother me one bit. I just wanted to see if I could knock the smell out to make it usable.

Arcane Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 what about a really long brush? i'm going with what mush alluded to, and there's some kind of mold in the tubing part. tear it apart and build a new hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allstar Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 TANGIERS NOIR mostly, but considering it was one of my black nammors it was either my 2nd or 3rd hose ever. So it could be anything. They were both bought in Apr 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything I've done to it has knocked out the smell some, but it's still there and won't go away. Like I said, the hose is in great shape, just smells. Anyone have any ideas, or is it going into surgery soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
