Bondal929 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 ive posted about my problems with my hookah before and the bad taste. No matter what i do to clean it, the smoke will always taste bad. even if i try different tobacco brands, it still has the same shitty taste. Nobody else i know has had this problem. Idk whether its worth just getting a new hookah. The one i have is a small glass one. I thought it was really good when i got it, but then again i got it in china town, and its kinda had this weird taste from the begining. Does what im saying sound completely crazy or is it time for a new hookah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 got pics of what hookah it is? try a 1/2 to 3/4 lemon juice mixture and hot water in the stem and let it sit for a long time. Run water through it afterwords and try to use a brush to scrub it out... I've noticed that the stem can leave a god aweful taste to it... but it also might be the hose? Take a drag off of the hose not attached and see if it tastes like that... might need to clean it or get a new one. Also, what bowl are you using and what kind of condition is it in?

Caramellanne Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Yeah this sounds like what happened with my first cheap ass hookah...I did everything in my power to clean it and get the smell out...SO, I just got a new one...did you try sucking in plain air through the hoses??? That ususally is your indication that you need new hoses...do the same with the stem...by itself put your mouth on one end and suck in air...if the plain air tastes putrid from one or the other, you know where your problem is....thats my 2 cents worth!

SanguineSolitude Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 might be your hose not your hookah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bondal929 Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 The hose doesnt taste that bad at all. Even when Im smoking and i take hits right from the stem it still tastes bad so im pretty sure its not the hose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macho555 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Huh. Your hookah probably is just a peice of crud. Or, I guess it could be a rusting sort of problem. I've smoked out of one like that before. All cleaning it did was add extra moisture to the rust, making it taste even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oriteku Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Try soaking the entire stem portion in either vinegear, or letting it sit in a silver cleaner or polydent solution. I say polydent because its meant to disolve shit without eating the plastic off of dentures. Another option is alcohol and salt solution, which is awesome for getting rid of buildup and odors, but you really have to make sure to brush out all the salt when you're done.
