PhatBeezie Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 One of my hoses on my hookah has crap in it and I think there is some coal dust in it stuck to the shisha juice or w/e , when I clean it with water it comes out all black and grey and nasty lol but when I clean my other hose It cleans very well and its not black, Is there some kinda way to clean hoses really good ? I have been using my hose or sink etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMoodz Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I run water from my kitchen sink through my hose and have a bucket to catch it on the other end. Sometimes if there's a lot of buildup I will get a cup of water, hold the water in my mouth, then blow it out through the hose in to the sink several times. When you run water through your hose and it runs clear, hang the hose up in a place where it can drip dry for many hours. I also suggest blowing through your hose prior or after each use.

DO NOT continue using a non-washable hose that you've run water through. SERIOUS consiquences could result. Just buy a new one... a nice Mya washable is a good choice. With non-washables, smack it against the ground a few times and blow into it as hard as you can about 5 or 6 times. Do this a couple times and you're set for your next smoking session. Just try not using really strong flavors that like to linger around. Some people like using secondary hoses deticated to such flavors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukasa Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I recently converted to using vinyl tubing. Best thing I've ever done. Cleans in a jiffy, and i like being able to see that im NOT inhaling rust particles. Also, after i wash it out i hook a vacuum up to it to vacuum out the water remnants. its a sweet system ive got going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Any respectable hookah retailer will have them. Ask which ones are washable.
