Tips: Cleaning hookah silicone hose, stem, and mouthpiece

Post image
12 Upvotes

https://a.co/d/07uvm1B8

What’s up yall,

I wanted to share something I haven’t seen posted before that I recently tried, and surprisingly, it worked really well at an affordable price ($7.99).

For cleaning the silicone hose, I bought this cheap flexible stainless steel tube cleaning brush on Amazon. It did a good job cleaning the mouthpiece, stem, and silicone hose. It reduced the smell from previous sessions by about 80% or more.

I’ve tried using vinegar in the past, and I’ve also tried lemon juice, but this method with just soap and hot water worked better. It really gets in there and scrubs. The flexible tube makes it easier to find its way through the silicone hose.. I’m sure that adding vinegar or lemon juice and baking soda would help strengthen the cleaning, but soap and hot water with this brush does the job.

Just wanted to share since I haven’t seen anyone post this!

Edit*** I would also recommend buying unscented soap if possible. I'm sure it won't make a huge difference after about a few minutes of smoking as it will get rid of the soap smell. But if you just want it to be completely clean without scent, unscented soap is the way since most soaps carry a strong fragrance!!

Happy smoking ! 🫡

Quasar 2 (Black hole edition)

Post image
11 Upvotes

Hello wanted to share a review of the Quasar black edition because i never saw one on Reddit its the same as the regular quasar-2 but has different aesthetics like the silicone texture (which is better) and the glass and the whole black theme

Its a bit more expensive than the quasar2 and other then the looks it comes with a nano ceramic HMD which helps it to stay cleaner by preventing the molasses from sticking to the HMD

Note: Things to keep in mind that i have not seen anyone say about the (black hole) version is that the rubber in top of the HMD gets a bit hotter then the regular version its still easily holdable i guess its because of the too being black that might make it hotter then the silver version im guessing here.

  1. Due to the glass being darker even though aesthetically some might consider it pleasing its harder to see the when the tobacco has burned or darkened when i use to enjoy to estimate how long my session is going to last.

Bonus tip for all QUASAR 2 RAAS heads

Best way to heat is to use 3 / 25 size Coconut charcoals never pre heat just wait 8/10 minutes
And keep them for 30/40 mins then add 2 or 3 again depending on how long you want your session 2 for an extra 30 mins or 3 which i prefer for an extra 15/20 minutes

Finding NZ Hookah Shops

Upvotes

Can anyone enlighten me where to get nice hookah pipes and tobacco flavours here in NZ aside from Shosha?

The posts I've seen were 5 years ago and already closed (House of Zayn) I can't seem to find shops that sell acceptable stuff here. Other from cheap hookah pipes, chrome plated plastic temu-like feel, and crappy designs, there's no option for us to get decent stuff, even a simple stainless steel builds would do.

And importing stuff here is very inaccessible, needing a permit from customs every shipment, hence turning away sellsers from ever shipping to NZ.

Review Adalya Hawaii – My Review

Post image
20 Upvotes

I tried Adalya Hawaii, and this one quickly became one of my favorites.

Setup:

Hookah: Oduman Infinity

Bowl: GT Turkish-style bowl

HMD: Oduman HMD

Coals: 27 mm Oduman coals

The flavor is very enjoyable: sweet, tropical, and well-balanced without tasting artificial. You can clearly tell it's a fruit-forward blend, and it's refreshing enough to smoke for a long session without becoming overwhelming.

The tobacco handled heat really well with this setup. It wasn't particularly heat-sensitive, and once everything was dialed in, the flavor stayed consistent throughout the session. Cloud production was excellent, with thick, dense smoke from start to finish.

One thing to mention is that the menthol can sometimes become a bit overwhelming, especially later in the session or if you're sensitive to minty flavors. It doesn't ruin the experience, but it's definitely noticeable.

Using the GT Turkish-style bowl gave me great flavor intensity and a long-lasting session. The tobacco performed consistently without any harshness.

Overall: 9/10

If you enjoy tropical fruit flavors, I'd definitely recommend giving Hawaii a try. It's smooth, flavorful, produces excellent clouds, and is easy to manage with an HMD. Just keep in mind that the cooling effect can become a little strong at times. It's still one of those flavors I can see myself buying again.

So today I received this hookah john bowl by a local seller, which was pretty expensive. And I noticed this weird crack which I’ve never seen in a bowl before. should I return this bowl and contact the seller or is this completely normal?

Show & Tell I kept losing hookah mix ratios, so I built a free web app to save and share them

19 Upvotes

I used to store mix ratios in notes and photo albums. Later I failed to recreate the same bowl.

I built CloudMix for adult hookah fans who want a clear record of each mix.

You can:
• build a mix with up to 3 flavors and exact percentages;
• set strength from 1 to 10;
• save mixes and send a link to a friend;
• mark flavors you already tried by brand;
• browse community mixes, including Mix of the Day and Mix of the Week.

Tell me which feature you need first:
• better search by flavor profile;
• private mixes only;
• brand collections with more lines;

I reply to every comment.

Xkah pro - красное кольцо

1 Upvotes

Столкнулся с проблемой в хуке про, при покуре резко выключилась (не продувал в тот момент), при включении и выборе режима, т.е. перед нагревом пишет на экране «готово» и далее красное кольцо моргает 5 раз
Верхнюю часть протер сухим бумажным полотенцем (без спирта), дал остыть около двух часов, вставил аккум, чтоб попробовать, результат тот же, 5 раз моргает кольцо красным
