Jungle Fever: Smoking Paraphernalia & Legal Highs

Several hookah smokers clean their pipes after each smoking session, while some do not change the water inside the pipe for a few weeks. Cleaning the hookah pipes often reflects on the smoker’s personal preference. When these are properly cleaned, the quality of the hookah will last for many years.

There are things that you will need in cleaning hookah pipes: toothpick, test-tube brush, rock salt, and rubbing alcohol. First, slowly dismantle the hookah into pieces. Wash the bowl and get a toothpick and carefully get rid of the dry and burnt tobacco hidden in the holes of the bowl. Rinse all the particles in the pipe, using the test-tube brush to easily clean spaces that are hard to reach.

Another way is to pour a cup of salt and water inside the hookah. Leave it for a few minutes, and then start shaking it, so that the rock salt will remove tobacco grime inside it. After this, you can now remove the water and salt by rinsing the base thoroughly. Introducing air forcefully will completely remove built-up ashes inside the hookah hoses. Warm water can be used by running it through these tubes. The mouthpiece must be cleaned using alcohol and warm water before using it again. Finally, before reassembling the parts make sure that all are completely dry.

Always remember that the best way of cleaning hookah pipes is by placing potable water in the pipe’s base prior to a smoking session. The water filters the smoke, which is why it quickly becomes dirty. Never try to use any kind of soap on the hookah because it can contaminate the flavour of the smoke. If rock salt is preferred to be used, it is advised to rinse the hookah a couple of times.
