DL15 Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 hey everyone. i bought smileys hookah and at first i had this problem where i used the mya hoses and they all tasted like plastic regardless of the tobacco i used. this problem went away when i washed the hoses. whenever i use the short hose that came with the hookah it taste fine but i found out today that it was the mya hoses that won't taste normal with the hookah anymore. i was wondering if anybody had this problem? i think it might be the hoses but they work fine on my ss oasis and mya qt, just not with smileys hookah. any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Scheetz Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO weird. I use my mya hose also and have not had an issue. Maybe you are tasting the plastic lining in the mya hose? Try washing it out again. Other than that, I am at a loss.

ioannisds Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I don't know if this is related, but on mine, I noticed a clump of some kind of stuff peeking out of one of the two holes on the bottom of the stem. This was before I even smoked it, mind you. It almost looked like a clump of old tobacco, or maybe paper? (but it was not, I'm pretty sure). Anyway, I took it out with some tweezers. Again, I don't know if it has anything to do with what you are experiencing. Probably just a byproduct of the manufacturing process for me.

Allia22 Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 No ideas out of me. If the hose that came with it works fine, it must be your mya. Maybe the different shape hose end touches or rubs against something inside the hose port? Wild guess, just throwing it out there. Oh, do you use a different grommet?

Looked like a little bit of cardboard and I picked it out with some needle nose pliers. My small hose had a few bits of packing peanuts that I blew out before smoking. The hookah did kinda did taste like plastic the first time, but now it smokes great! I have no problem using the small hose or an MYA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafesaden Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 one of my holes on the stem part was clogged with a piece of metal (like still stuck to the hole, as it was not drilled out completely). FOr like 3 sessions i was getting horrible hits then I noticed that and drilled it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
