babbagandu Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 My hose has not been cleaned for a while, and today i set up the hookah and took my first puff and a bunch of crap went into my mouth. I spat most of it out but i accidently swallowed some. I'm not sure what it was but it looked like burnt coal ashes or something. Now i am just worried that it was toxic or something. Any advice?

cityboyyy Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 you have the case of the never cleaned hose/hookah.... clean your hose out or if you have the 10 bucks buy a new hose and start from scratch cleaning it after every few uses ... try getting a mya hose too so you know youll get something that will last a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Abides Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Don't worry about it, boss. I sometimes use a 10 yr old Syrian with original hose that has been passed down through family liniage and as you could imagine from time to time I get a bit of 10-year-old hose muck in my mouth. It tastes like poop when that happens, but to me it's worth it in order to pay regular respects to the legendary pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Sounds like its time for a new hose. Just remember that anything you swallowed you also inhale, so I woudn't worry too much about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 When I said don't worry about it, I meant do worry about getting to sic+k from what you swallowed, but I am sure you don't want to inhale that old shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been about 6 months now, as I didn't bring it with me on my move from Seattle to NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calcartman Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Um, what kinda hose is this? You shouldn't wash a hose unless you know it's washable. otherwise it rusts. and rust inhalation is bad. mmkay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been nearly two months now. I e-mailed Bilal yesterday to find out what was up, and this time he told me he was in Egypt at the moment, and his partner was supposed to have shipped it out to me. He asked me for my address again, and said he'd get her right on it. To be honest, I'm not holding my breath. It's gone from being one week or so to get made and sent out (right after the contest), to a promise of it being shipped out right after the Arab festival (which ended on the 10th), to this latest information. You guys will be the first to know if I do in fact receive it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvansLight Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 that sucks man, i hope you do get it, it was one of the first topics i read when i came to the forums. Seems like PYH is slowly dropping out of existence, and i never even got to order from them :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[LB] Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 get a mya washable hose. The technique i learned for cleaning a hose that works 100 percent of the time is the smacking method. Someone posted it on this forum a while back, i apologize if you are not credited and are reading this. You grab your hose by the head and the plug, and choke up your grip so you are holding both ends of the hose on the HOSE part not the wood parts. Then take your hose and smack it violently on the ground a number of times, this shakes up all the particles- then wash it out with water, and make sure the water goes in the mouth end and out the stem end otherwise youll get shit on your first puff. Cheers! hope this works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skimo Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 yeah thats what i do, i always wondered if it was bad for your hose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[LB] Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 [quote name='skimo']yeah thats what i do, i always wondered if it was bad for your hose[/quote] not if you hold it like i described. If you hold it by the stem and head it will break it, but if you hold it by the hose parts only it will work fine. Make sure that the head and stem never hit the ground. I broke one hose doing that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Its rust particles from the metal wire inside the hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
