Hookah Glass Base Discoloration – How Do Residues Form in the Base?

Let’s say your evening with friends was a great success—you had a fantastic time with some delicious bowls and colorful sparkles in the tinted base water. Afterward, you left everything as it was and only started cleaning up a day or two later.

You empty your glass base and notice that residues and stains remain on the inner walls.

And that’s exactly the issue. Most of the time, deposits and discoloration occur when too much time passes between smoking a hookah and cleaning it. Color and glitter consist of pigments that are heavier than water. While smoking, these particles remain in motion due to the swirling air, but once smoking stops for an extended period, they settle at the bottom and stick together as well as to the surface of the base. Particles that land on the outer walls can also dry up and leave marks.

Therefore, it’s advisable to empty and clean the base promptly after smoking to prevent any buildup.
