Yay Guess What I Found Out!


Recommended Posts

well after reading geiseric's post about copper in the how to section i realized that HEY wow my hookah has a copper interior which would explain why when i clean it out there is a blu-ish green resin in it. well when copper oxidizes it forms a blu-ish-greenish rust!!! yea so my hookah is not only putting carcinogens in my body but also large quantities of copper!!! yay! lol. never ever using that hookah again. im thinking of maybe going to the doctors to see if the amount of copper in my body is higher than normal. any comments?

EDIT::
oh yea i was looking up side effects of copper at high levels for short term and WOW guess what i found out. originally i thought that my friends and i were getting headaches from CO poisoning, well guess what. it was copper!!!! yay!!! do u think me smoking from that hookah like 4-6 times a month for the past year is really bad fro me? should i be concerned because i heard it affects developement and growth

EDIT:: again
should i see a doctor? anyone have any suggestions? Edited by NoPeace

If it really bothers you that much, then yes go see a doctor.

The head aches could still be from CO, and not copper, especially from quicklites. It all depends on how much you drink/eat before and after, how many times you hit it, and if you breathe in between pulls. Edited by Bryantos

I highly doubt you are getting the copper hot enough todo any damage.

My entire house [along with 99.9999%] of all other british houses uses copper pipes for water.

I think this is a complete over-reaction.

Q - the copper argument. AGAIN.

Yeah, the liars at smokinghookah.com who advertised a 'stainless steel shaft' ended up sending me (found out way later) a shaft that ended up with that green indicating cheap copper.

Be safe, stay with Stainless steel. Commercial kitchens use it for a reason-it doesn't rust, it cleans nice, and it doesn't add anything bad to the smoke.

Myas - among others but I don't know which ones - have stainless shafts.
