I just bought a hookah pipe from a smoke shop locally and they had previously kept them on a shelf out in the open. They moved them to a glass case so the tobacco dust and nicotine wouldn't settle on them anymore, but mine was covered / stained with nicotine from the frequent smoking and open tobacco.
The hose still tastes like cigarettes (I can only tolerate hookah tobacco, nothing else). I've tried rinsing my hose with vinegar, water, coca-cola, and lemon juice (combo's and separately). There is still a faint taste and I can't afford a new hose. What can I do to get rid of this smell / taste?
It also just stinks on the outside and it would be really nice to clean it and neutralize the odor, both in and out. Baking soda perhaps? I don't believe there is any metal wiring to hold my hose together. I believe the material that it is made with is faux leather. Perhaps leather cleaner? Please help me get rid of this crappy smell and taste so I can enjoy the flavor of my shisha and not the tobacco store!
I hope I posted this in the proper place. I didn't see anything else closely relating to smoking!
