nkfm Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I'm trying to clean this, and every time when I finish cleaning the stem water has collected in the heart and nasty nasty brown crap comes out of it. I've tried unscrewing the stem part as I've seen other hookahs do, but I can't get it to work. I'm not sure if it's stuck or just not made to come apart. Maybe I can get pipe cleaners up the holes in the bottom if I can't break it down. If anyone has advice let me know... I just don't want to break it. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v254/NoKree/heart.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainUM Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 try a pipe cleaner. i dont think that one is made to come apart. i had one that did before, but it was a cheap one. pipe cleaner and then flush it out a lot and blow a lot of air through it for a bit. hope that helps!

dizzbizz Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Doesn't look like it comes apart. I say just clean it as well as you can :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelLCP Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I'd say that doesn't come apart. Just try and clean it out. Soak it in hot water and lemon juice for awhile. Then again, some people advise against lemon juice because the taste lingers. Though that's never happened to me. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S3cretz Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) To answer your question :Yes it comes apart But Its not really supposed to Those stems Get thread-locked after a certain amount of heat gets to them and if you unscrew it your seal is going to be all to heck. actually very nice stems those cause the thread-lock seals so well. Quick suggestion : Give it one good lemon juice and vinegar bath and in the future wash after use. And then horrifying fact Thats a chineese hookah The brown stuff is probably rust if you can feel shards of crap coming through the hose when you smoke Throw the stem away Cause your going to be inhaling rust if you dont Edited August 1, 2011 by S3cretz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
