vadim87 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Hey, I just smoked out of a hookah (wasnt the first time) but I think i inhaled an aluminum foil particle, (the foil sort of crumpled up into the tobacco...)

DizzyGuy Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 So, you're saying that the foil had a spec fly up, go THROUGH the wet, sticky shisha.... down the stem not sticking to the sides, down into the water, and then went up through the air into the hose? Don't worry about it... you probably just got a bit of hookah stuff that gets stick in the hose... wash/clean out your hose if ya want, but you should be fine.

yashman19 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 *Edit* ^^Damnit DG^^Now you know that the aluminum foil would have to travel quite a big distance to reach your mouth correct? It would need to be sucked down through the stem (plausible) and go into the water, then jump out of the water and get sucked into the hose port (not likely), from there actually travel the length of your rigid, rough textured hose and go into your mouth.I'd say don't sweat it. You probably did get a little chunk of something, but nothing that would kill you. Even if it was aluminum, what is a tiny little piece going to do to you? I mean I know its not made to be eaten, but you gotta figure that out of all the millions of people who use it every day for food preparations, that every ONCE in a while, someone is going to pull a 'Vadim87' and accidentally ingest a small piece of foil.But I'm banking on it being some small buildup of gunk in your hose that finally broke free. I guess the autoposy on your body will prove me wrong. If I'm wrong of course. Keep us updated on that one heh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take your hose and loop it like a laso. Then hit it on the edge of a counter. This will release lot of the stuff. Then run hot water thru it. This might work. Maybe its time to invest in a Washable Hose.LOLSmiley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Haha, I win yash And smiley is right, it might be a tad bit of rust *STILL NOT A PROBLEM*... what kind of hose do you have? What do you do to clean it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you do to clean it?I uSe Hot lemon Water. Use a whole lemon and squeeze the shit out of it. Its a little messy but it can be done. Becareful not to hot. You don't want burn yourself. Also plug one end up. then make a martini. Move it around. Or you can slam the hose and use Compressed Air to blow it out. I sometimes I will go to Circle K Air Pump. Work pretty well. When you do that point the hose at a wall or something like that. This way you can see all the crap comes out. When you use lemon water you will be amazed at the nastyness that comes out. Don't do lemon to offten The Acid will eat away at the metal slowly but it will happen.Good Luck Smiley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Haha, I meant him... trying to see if it was gunk or rust If I ever use anything liquid in my hose, it'll probably be a hot water/lemon juice combo... but lemon juice from a bottle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShishaFred Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 If anything solid gets into your lungs , i'm pretty sure one of the two following scenarios will happenScenario 1 You start coughing like mad , after that big workout you will either 1.1 : Spit it out 1.2 Digest itScenario 2You don't cough , it stays there , and nothing really happens.

Apollo Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 i do not think you have anything to worry about my friend, even if a tiny piece of foil made its way through the hookah, i dont think it would cause any harm, i have inhaled insects probably bigger than that piece of foil , and i am still fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vadim87 Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 Hey guys, thanks for giving me that piece of mind, I feel better now, It wouldnt have scared me if I ate it but the fact that its in your lungs that is kinda freaky, and the fact that it is a piece of metal and doesnt degrade far enough to really go anywhere is what really had me-AV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Don't wash nonwashable hoses! Aaaah!Its probably a wood shaving. Your lungs will likely remove it with the constant whooshing of phlegm inside your lungs. Otherwise people would die if a bug flew down their throats. When's the last time you heard somebody die of a bug flying down their throats? The point is, the human body has removal systems for problems like this....people would die alot more often from pieces of shit blowing around, otherwise. You might be better off with the aluminum rather than the wood. Wood might get imbedded, aluminum is more likely to move out easily, I think.
