Water pipes: Is that dusty?


Suddenly the dry bits of bad tasting dust appear in your water pipes hose. Ouch! It’s making inhalation unpleasant. Sounding too familiar to you? Well, it must be the dusty Glass pipes.

Dust in your mouth can actually ruin your glass pipes smoking session. As you keep on smoking your water pipes, the humid smoke gets condensed in the hose while gathering as a liquid, containing the particles of shisha and flavor, which are in the smoke. And once you are through with the smoking session, if not aired out, this tiny amount of liquid will simply sit in the hose till the water evaporates. Yes it leaves the “shisha dust” behind.  Look deeper into the glass pipes hose. Does it contain metal coils inside them? If yes, then you can be rest assured that the Shisha Dust residue and the water inside will simply hasten the oxidization/rusting of the metal coils process.

Hanging your Water pipes hose up after use helps the liquid residue (or condensated smoke) to drip out of the hose. And if you still have some  dust in the hose, may be a good hard puff of air through the hose will help.  To keep your mouth dust free you can also use the glass pipes filter.

It is when the dust becomes too much of a hassle to clean out from the water pipes it’s better to replace the hose because washing over and over again will simply exacerbate the problem, unless you are using the washable Hookah Hose.  Incredible but true, the washable Glass waterpipes hose can be washed freely without fear of damaging them. Yes, these are being designed to be rinsed through!

Which one to buy from the detail range of water pipes for sale? Well, why don’t you view it as shopping for a vehicle? There are people who searches for the rugged truck, some looks for luxury automobile and there are still some who looks for a cheaper car that’s easier on the wallet. The point is shopping the water pipes is much like shopping for an automobile, as there could be many different “bests” based on your needs. Perhaps you prefer smoking with a large group in a large room. You might  prefer the traditional huge Hookah with 4 hoses. On the other hand the student living in an efficiency apartment might love the Egyptian Furat Hookah for its portability and style. Options are almost endless!

Glass Pipes smoking: Adding milk for thicker smoke

Well, possibly you have heard this from your friend that adding milk to your Glass Pipes bowl helps in making the smoke thicker. As a matter of fact , this is quite a common theory that putting milk in the Glass water pipes base somewhat makes the smoke richer and rather smooth while creating the ultimate pleasant hookah experience. Well, I agree with you, the idea of putting milk to the bowl is definitely easier said than done.

Yes, there are a slew of issues which actually arise when trying to perfect this method. In case of too much milk in the base it bubbles up into the chamber and the hose. Yes, you have got that right; it’s the same way that you used to blow bubbles in your chocolate milk. Do you remember?

Well, if you simply choose to ignore this and continue your Glass pipes smoking session, you will end up with the milk embedded in the hose. Curiously, when heated the milk entrapped in the hose will turn into cheese. I know you love cheese but the water pipes cheese is AWFUL.

So, what’s the way out?

Yes, there’s a way out. All you need to do is to fill your 1/16 of the hookah with whole milk and the rest with water to ensure that the mixture is diluted well.  Yes, you will finally get the point where the bubbles would be much tamed and wouldn’t rise up and into the hose.  Wait; don’t get me wrong it would be still very bubbly however it would be diluted enough that they wouldn’t rise if you didn’t pull too hard!

What did we learn?

Milk has actually much more to it than mere water.  Milk is made up of water, fats, sugars and inorganic salts and has a much higher absorptive quality than water does. Yes, the glass pipes smoke would be therefore thicker after passing through milk.

Secondly, cow milk and goats’ milk are entirely different things. Filling the water pipes base with goat is much more prevalent in the Middle East.  It emanates richer smoke.

Patience is the ‘key’ to prepare your glass Water pipes. Ask yourself what pleases you the most? What is that aspect which you are looking for in order to enhance your smoking experience? Time to experiment with your glass pipes!
