Skimo Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Its the shit from the shisha, thats why you should get a phunnel bowl lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Namenone Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 i live in uk, can i still get a phunnel bowl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymptom Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I think it's a by product of some sort of chemical reaction between the shisha components, charcoal fumes and the stem metals. The phunnel bowl does help minimize stem gunkage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanguineSolitude Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 actually its probably from the brass stem. its not really a problem though. just scrub it out when you wash it next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critterchops Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I put up a post "green crap in my stem" It's from using a hookah that has a copper stem. Just like the statue of liberty made of copper now green because of water.You probally don't clean your stem after every session so that green crap builds up.That is why I'm getting a mya hookah the stem is made of stainless steel not copper.As for that green crap....is it bad for you?? I don't know But I don't want to find out so I'm getting a mya. the tiny bits are pieces of shisha that have gone down the stem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineSolitude Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 you should be scrubbing your stem every few session regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skimo Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I suggest you clean your hookah very often, I clean mine after every use but thats just to keep it easier to clean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookah hippie Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 try using lemon juice on your cleaning brush keeps it lasting for years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansLight Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 even if it is from the material used in the stem, using the funnel bowl should keep most liquids from hitting the stem, other than the vapor that your smoking, so it should help a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[LB] Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 ughh the green stuff. I always get it on my fingers when im cleaning my pipes and they end up smelling like rotten metallic hookah for days. But its normal, i didnt realise the funnel bowl prevented that... i might have to take a second look at that- except will i be able to fit a windcover over it?

Joseph Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Since I got my new hookah I haven't seen any green stuff during cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
