Dropbear Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 So, Last night I was at a friends house, and after smoking it one of my friends asked if I ever cleaned out the inside of my hose...I've had the thing for about a year, use it occasionally but I never did, so I ran water through it and it came out all ashy and dirty and whatnot(I usually blow in it before and after each use, but this was alot)...so today I was reading on here that apparently not all hoses can do this and most rust when you do. I just got my hose and blew into it with a tissue on the other end and water came out, the spots on the tissue are kinda sparkly and brownish, assuming thats rust...Its a Mya hose... Does this mean I need a replacement? >.< Idk if its even rust, Im assuming it is. Is it possible to salvage the hose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vendetta_revived Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Mya hoses are not washable, that is they will rust if you wash them. I am not sure about your hose though since you say that last night was the first time you ever washed it, and I don't think it could corrode that fast. Have you ever had water bubbling into the hose through the vase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelLCP Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 ewwww. Just buy a new hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dropbear Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 ew is right -,- i cringed a little when i saw the water come out... vendetta, I didnt know that before I did it, thus the concern now...blowing into it before showed there was still water remaining in the hose overnight which might be the issue.... usually no water gets into the hose because i put it at a good level where unless you pull like youre trying to suck a golfball thru it, it wont bubble into the tube...but it looks rusty on this tissue... any suggestions of a good website to buy a replacement hose and possibly some flavors while im at it?

vendetta_revived Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Better get a washable this time, Nammor, Razan or a Narbish are the ones I've heard most about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dropbear Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 I'm looking at [url="http://www.hookah-shisha.com/p-1574-nammor-hookah-hoses.html"]Nammor[/url] right now, any idea if its good? I have a small hookah, and the connector to the base seems like it would fit well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vendetta_revived Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 As I mentioned, you will not be disappointed with a nammor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyCallMeDave Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Nammors have the shortest hose port handle I have ever seen. It actually doesn't exist, just a pompom and then hose. I love my nammor. I have tried Nammors, Narbishes and Razans, and of the three, Nammor is still my favorite. As for your mya hose... Yep, it's pretty much unsalvagable now that you've run water through it. Hop[e you like your new nammor if ya get one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dropbear Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 yeaaa, just ordered that one, a vortex bowl, and orange soda tangiers off of hookah shisha...hopefully itll make an awesome smoke that night haha. Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agunn1231 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I have a nammor. SHould be fine with a small hookah, it fits into my MYA petite just fine as well as my larger hookahs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claytronmeans Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) If you did not order a small or medium Nammor, I would suggest going back and canceling the order, because the large is overkill on a Mya QT. Also, take this from someone who has used both many, MANY times: Get a Tangiers phunnel (or crown micro funnel if you like to save shisha, and who doesn't?) over a vortex. I PROMISE, you will be much much happier with a funnel than you will be with a vortex. The funnels offer much better draw, better smoke, and they are stronger than a vortex.

Dropbear Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 hmm, why did it say everywhere to get a vortex over a funnel? O.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dropbear Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 I'll probably buy a tangiers phunnel one later on down the road. the ones from the site i purchased from had some bad reviews like it was a cheap knockoff and whatnot, so ill probably buy it next time i need flavors from another site. thanks for the suggestion! I'll see if I can get my order adjusted tomorrow for that tube, no one answered when I called Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claytronmeans Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Many un-educated places will suggest a vortex because it seems to be the hip thing. If anyone else would like to comment and back up my suggestion of a funnel over a vortex, I would appreciate it. I had a vortex at one point and after getting my tangiers phunnel, I simply gave the vortex away. Good sites to get a tangiers phunnel from would include www.hookahjoh.com, www.hookahcompany.com, www.hookah-shisha.com. I can promise you without a shadow of a doubt that you would be happier with a phunnel than you will be with the vortex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Legit Tangiers Phunnel over Vortex anyday, anytime, and anywhere. And yeah, H-S doesn't carry them. Gotta get it from HC or HJ. Or UH (UltimateHookah). And yeah, small Nammor on the small Mya rigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epoch Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I use a large Nammor Hose on my Econo QT, and it does awesome if you're okay with having a massive hose on your tiny hookah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claytronmeans Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Woops, thanks guys; I'm not sure why I thought that they carried tangiers funnels. As for large nammors on small Mya's, it's doable but it can be a pain in the butt. Just maneuvering the hose around a table is hard because it likes to spin the entire hookah.

Epoch Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Tangiers Small Phunnel is probably the best for any new smoker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claytronmeans Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Personally, since getting my crown micro funnel, I have not touched my tangiers more than twice. And that was four months ago. The crown uses less than half of what my tangiers holds but it will still smoke for two hours or more with tangiers or fantasia. Honestly, I absolutely love the crown and would recommend it 100% to anyone. Right behind that though is a tangiers small phunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get by until you replace the hose, just use your vacuum cleaner to suck the rust out of the hose before you smoke. My hose had a pom pom on the end so I sould just put the hose up to the hose attachment and it would suck plenty of air through the hose. You might need to wrap the end of your Mya hose with a paper towel in order to seal it up with your vacuum. Bend and stretch the hose while the vacuum is sucking on it to loosen up any rust particals stuck in there. it's a bit of extra work but it will keep you smoking untill your order comes in and if your vacuum didn't clean sone of the rust out, you're not going to be able to suck it out when you smoke.
