kram Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 hey guys have any of u heard abt this brand? sorry got no pics for ya. it looks like a mya hose with a thicker handle. anyhow its made in syria and washable. i washed it out and there was no wood bits or anything very clean. i smoked it and decided to give it a wash. dried it overnite, when i woke up i checked it and there was this yellow thick residue coming out of it!! i washed it out again and the water is still slightly yellow. i dunno wats happening. i have a sec Al Prince hose and it's blue, the bloody thing smells like there's paint thinner in it! these hoses look like their really good quality but, why the hell is this happening. bought them at a smoke shop in the sydney burbs, bankstown.

nuschultz Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 the residu is buildup from the inside of the hose. If it starts turning a rust color, they lied and it isnt washable. what consistancy is the goo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kram Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 i've only washed it once, its just alittle thick with black bits in it after i leave it for awhile. right out of the hose its yellow colored water. can i still use the hose?

Johnny_D Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Try lemon juice, watered down a tad, or clear vinegar. Was the water hot - Is it possible you have melted some of the glue and this has oozed out ? [I've done this ] JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny_D Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 [quote name='Calcartman']sounds like rust to me... black bits in yellow liquid? rust. i wouldnt use it[/quote] Ok, so it's time for 'super dumb family question time...' How would rust get into a hose ? Most of the hoses i have/had and/or used are normally Plastic, Leather, Combination of both with Wooded and/or plastic handles and 'bit that pokes into the stem' ? JD - Genuinally confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 From what i understand theres a wire like former inside the hose, that keeps it round. THats what rusts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anpu Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 There are metal linkages inside the hose. This is why most hoses are not washable. *I'm pretty sure at least heheh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Ahh! Thanks Benny & Anpu. I wasn't sure. I would wash it out then dry it with the hairdryer - [ON COLD] and blow remainign water out, that might do it fast enough. JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calcartman Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 What they said. Basically there are little O shaped rings inside the hose keeping shape. I don't know how quickly they rust, but I don't wash em period with water. Just take a shop vac on Blow (or compressed air) and blast all the crap out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kram Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 honestly i would love to get mya's, i use to have one but i gave that and the hookah to a gd freidn of mine who was moving away. i miss that pipe i tell ya. i'm in the australian country side its really hard to get anyting. i had to drive 8hrs to sydney to find stuff and they just didn't have any spare mya hoses to sell, i must have went to every lebanese store in the sydney burbs. all i could find were these made in syria al prince hoses, they seem to be really gd quality stuff but this this happens and i'm outta a hose again. which means i can't get a gd smoke and its frustratiing the shit outta me. ordering online is a route but shipping will bloody kill me. anyhow sorry for the rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
