D15L Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 i've been real busy lately so haven't really posted anything but i am in need of serious help! i have been using my mya qt and lately, after about 5 minutes of good smoke i get this plasticy taste on my tongue when i am inhaling the shisha, its not jus me because my girlfriend and friends also taste the same thing, it can't be the hose because it is a mya saray and i know it can be washed. I mean, i get good smoke for a bit, then after that there seems to be this weird taste that comes along with it, and it is really turning me away from smoking now. i really need help! and advice would be greatly appreciated!

MrGuy Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 have you tried different Shisha's, it might be a bad batch? or possible try different coals. also try cleaning out all your hookah. stem, head, vase, hose, hte full works.There would be no harm in trying it with a different hose.Also, you dont have any glue or sellotape in it or anything (e.g. DIY repairs)?

lilotaku Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Which maassel are you using D15? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D15L Posted July 30, 2006 Author Share Posted July 30, 2006 i was using romman peach and cocktail, the first couple of times when i started using the qt, it was very good, good taste and everything. I always clean everything after each use so i don't think it is any cleaning problem. Its just that after i start on the tobacco, it gets good for a bit then after a 5 or 10 min session i get that plasticy aftertaste as well as in my tongue when i inhale. Can't figure out what it is either, haha its getting me frustrated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cymptom Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Is it like a nasty musty sort of taste? I get this with my QT sometimes... after much experimentation I had blamed it on Three Kings charcoals, but from time to time I still get a funky taste using different coals, mostly when I'm trying to smoke Tangiers.

D15L Posted July 30, 2006 Author Share Posted July 30, 2006 yeahhh it is like this nasty not very soury but definitely kind of like plastic taste when i inhale, it sits right around my tongue too, i hate that taste so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D15L Posted July 30, 2006 Author Share Posted July 30, 2006 anyone?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakemonster Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 take your downstem off it and soak it in some lemon juice for a while. ...then scrub the crap out of it (inside). I found some sort of varnish like stuff on the inside of my downstem. I got it out that way. Have no idea what that was..... or why it was there... may be part of the prob, may not.

cymptom Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 [quote name='Lakemonster'] found some sort of varnish like stuff on the inside of my downstem.[/quote]Ohh yeah, I found some of that too. I got out a few long pieces of what seemed to be a plastic dried on the inside of the stem. Clear, light brownish color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D15L Posted July 30, 2006 Author Share Posted July 30, 2006 hmm it seems like there is nothing in the downstem but i will surely try that out. thanks for the advice! i was actually wondering if you can rinse the mya qt through water, not the downstem but the other body part where it has like gold chrome coating, i rinse everything including that, jus wondering if that is fine?

skiracerj1 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I also found that plastic coating in my stem, but after ten cleanings or so with a brush it all rubbed out, but still, kinda weird.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
