maxy3546 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Hey, I've had my mya acrylic for about 3 months, and I've started to notice that once the base is completely dry it gets this foggy gray color to it on the clear parts making it opaque. I am pretty sure that it isnt smoke residue cuz i clean it reallllllly thoroughly. this happen to anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 No, but if its acrylic, it wll eventually srtart to scratch.What kind of brush or pad are you using to clean it with? It COULD be lots of abrasions that the water fills in and renders invisible when its wet, but when it dries you can see all the scratching. Um, you dont put it in the dishwasher do you?JUST a guess.

maxy3546 Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 I'm pretty sure its not scratches or anything (those are there on the vase, but are distinctly different) this looks a lot more like condensation on a bathroom mirror. And no, i do not put my hookah in the dishwasher. but that does bring up a question (if this is retarded, forgive me) is a mya dishwashable? excluding the hose of course.

cafesaden Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 should be dishwashable but go with liquid soap and not the powder. maybe it is condensation? I have clear vynl hoses and i smoke out of them and run water through them and let them dry but they still look foggy. might just be a characteristic of plastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafesaden Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 or the temperature of your room/temperature of water you are cleaning it with. don't know jack about this but it sounds probable with the temp change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imagelessdude Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Mines scratched up like hell, and is clear when full but slightly foggy when dry, and I figure its a result of being 2 years old. It doesnt bother me though, it isnt bad or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oggie505 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 it could be hard water stains, i had that problem with my hookahs while in college, I just used CLR once a week to clean them out and they became clear again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puffinsandiego Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 My mya acrylic had this same build up. It was only above where the water line was so it definitely wasn't hard water but from the smoke. It was only noticeable when there was no water in the vase so it doesn't really make enough of a difference to worry over.woot first post after months of lurking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
