hookah~rob~ Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 so i got a new hookah from social smoke and ordered the blue washable hoses with it. i got my hookah and after we ran it through the first test bowl i got a odd taste, sort of like a rubbery taste like when you chew on a rubberband. just wondered if this will go away or if maybe i should call social. already had to call once because my tobacco was missing from my order, and they were really helpful and had great service, i just dont want to be a pain.

DizzyGuy Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Did you wash out the hose at all? Or the hookah when you got it for that matteR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookah~rob~ Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 i washed everyting out before i used it like your suposed to. i used straight water and i dryed out the hoses over my door and then blew them out with the air pump for my air bed to make sure they were dry. they smelled like rubber gloves when i pulled them out of the wrapers but i figured that was just because they were new.

DizzyGuy Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 It's probably just that they aren't broken it yet. I noticed that new taste from the little use I got of my SS hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Many hoses have new hose flavor, which fades away. Some leather hoses have none, while some Mahmoon hoses never really seem to lose that crappy flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksblazer Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I've had the same experience as well. Like Sonthert and DizzyGuy say. After time they will get broken in and that funky rubber taste will go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 My last hose took about two-three smokes before the rubber taste was completely gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macho555 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I always smoke something strong to blast out the new smell. Usually Layalina Mint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
