invadercow Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I posted a few weeks ago about buying a hookah that was on sale. Shortly after buying it me and my friends realized it was used because it had chips on some parts and smelled like it had been smoked out of. We looked up a video on how to clean a hookah and cleaned it as thoroughly as we could (which wasnt thorough at all, we had no idea what we were doing and just ran water through it) Eventually, I came down with strep and I didnt think anything of it, I figured it was just a bug going around. When I recovered, we decided to THOROUGHLY (correctly, gun cleaning kit, lemon juice, baking soda) clean the hookah to rid of any sickness I could have gotten on it. Well, we completely disassembled it and shined a light down the stem. The inside was disgusting and caked with brown and green ... STUFF. We scrubbed it out with the gun cleaning brush and moved onto cleaning the area you put the hose into and the inside was brown and sticky, it had what looked like insects crawling inside of it. It smelled literally like road kill, and that isnt an exaggerated, it literally smelled like a dead animal. We were DISGUSTED and figured no matter how much we cleaned this thing, we werent going to smoke out of it, so we decided to disect it and get a good look of what was inside this thing that made me sick. We cut the hose open and the inside of the hose was covered in white and brown particles. It wasnt rust, it was something else that felt like dirt or sand. We had a problem when we used to smoke it of getting stuff in our mouth, we thought it was wood chips coming loose from the wooden end of the hose. NOPE. it was whatever was growing on the inside of the hose. It looked like some kind of mold or something. It was powdery. Next we investigated the part of the stem thats circular and the hoses go into. Not sure what it's called, but we busted it open with a hammer and this.. is what we saw.. This is what we had been smoking out of. (we put a string through it so we wouldnt lose the pieces when it broke apart) I wish we had a good camera, its green, and yellow, and looks like dried vomit. it smells like a dead animal or something that has been rotting. I feel. sick.[img]http://i.imgur.com/6WPeG.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 ...Did you really just setup and smoke from a hookah without making sure it was clean first??? Guess you learned your lesson, but that kind of thing seems like common sense to me. No offense or anything... Tapatalk'd via iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pavo21 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 yah when you buy a used hookah you need to clean it, because who knows what the previous owner was like..maybe he smoked dead animal. but yah well i hope you get a better hookah and disregard this horrible experience.

dizzbizz Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Any time I buy a hookah, I clean it. New or used, it doesn't matter. You definitely learned a lesson here. Where did you buy that? How were you lied to, did the seller claim it was new? Thats probably the nastiest hookah I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urloc Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I would send it back to the seller along with 1kg of anthrax. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
