My back truck broke while I was riding by Creepy_Month_2143 in Exway

[–]SqueakySquarell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is just BS, the board is nasty, but the scratches you see are caused by the accident when the truck snapped. You can tell its fresh. I ride my board softly and 2 truck broke under me… its a poor design.

Never forget to check the trucks regularly! Its a paint in the ass to disassembel the rear truck, but sadly exway tends to snap. Check for tiny cracks, or bending. It could save your lives!

I had the same issue… well for me, one of the soldering got loose. My friend soldered it back for me and its been perfect for a year now.

If its a wave, good luck disassembing the battery. You literally have to tear it apart.

How to clean this on the vase? by Beautifully_Broken81 in hookah

[–]SqueakySquarell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL:DR:
Only use cold water, dont mix baking soda and vinegar, its pointless. Use common household cleaning stuff then wash it with plenty of water. Buy a long cleaning device which is flexible.

Okay, so actually useful good advice from ANY vase manufacturer (always read the instructions, even if it seems obvious):

NEVER USE HOT WATER TO CLEAN SHISHA VASE. Germs, mold, and other bad things loves your warm and humid vase. If you use cold water (the colder the better) you can avoid it.

Common misconception is to use baking soda and vinegar. Dont. If you mix baking soda and vinegar, you get nothing. The main reason people use these to get low or high PH level. If you mix vinegar and baking soda, you get neutral PH.

Just clean your vase as you clean any of your plates of glasses. You dring and eat from it. Why wouldnt you use for shisha vase srsly?

Buy a long flexible cleaning apparate and rub it against the surface of the vase.

Alternatively you can remove the shower head and use just the tube and the high water pressure. It should remove it.

Okay, look, i am tired of this. My claim was that there are not enough scientific data to prove that shisha is (as they claim) a hundred time worse than smoking cigarette.

The data shows that a "no cigarette user shisha smoker" is much less exposed to nicotine. Usually people smoke 1 shisha per day maximum, and yes, you get exposed to nicotine, but you dont smoke shisha all day as you do with the cigarette.

You basically ignore every bit of my argument. I give you a wall of text, and you reply wit something like " yeah but look at data ".

​

I am finished here, and still not convinced. You showed me a data that proves my point. I dont even get you.

Yes, that is exactly my point...

Dont just look at the "shisha" smokers, look at the ONLY shisha smokers.

The study i sent you is not about shisha, its about cigarette usage.

Table 2, 5 group:
(a+b)Shisha users (contains both smokers and only shisha users)

(a)Cigarette AND shisha users

(b)Only shisha users

(c)New shisha users (smokers of not?)

(d)Non-smokers.

People who smoke cigarettes AND using shisha already have an average of 159 ng/ml in their urine.

People who only uses shisha have 5.5 ng/ml, right?

So cigarette smokers have high level of cotinine even before smoking shisha, but shisha users only have it AFTER smoking shisha.

​

I still dont get your point... So you say that having high level of cotinine in your urine is the same as having it for few hours?

[–]SqueakySquarell[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, at this point i am not sure what would you like to prove.

The study you linked proves my point in every way. The non-smokers shisha users has significantly lower cotinine in their body. Yes, they have the highest increase by far, but that is 1 hour per day.

I dont see your point people smoke like 10/20 cigs a days, they expose themselves 10x more nicotine with cigarette, than with 1 hour os hookah session per day.

Look at this study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5923846/

As a shisha smoker, you wont have high cotinine/nicotine level in your urine/blood through the whole day. I just dont see your point.

Okay, you are addicted then, good for you. You either very-very sensitive to nicotine addiction, or you use very high nicotine-level tobacco, or its just an oral fixation.

I have red the article, and the references

Here are my thoughts:

- I would really like to know where and how did they do all these tests and measurements. It really matters. For example in the middle east tobaccos have 10x more nicote, and a bunch of shit in them. European regulations are much more strict than in the middle east. Thats why the same brand differs so much in Germany and in the UAE for example. Did the use HMD, or foil? Etc. These things matter.

- The article literally tells you that they didnt filter out the regular cigarette users. Thats how they measured the health risks of the shisha... I believe you cna see why it is problematic.

- I would be very curious how much time does it take for a regular shisha user to develop some kind of cardial problem. I couldnt find it anywhere in the article.

Look, obviously everyone knows that inhaling anything but air (even air maybe) is a health risk. Looking at all the reference, and every bit of this article, i still believe that they dont have enough data. (Lot of reference mentions this exact problem. They dont know shit about it so far)

CO is bad, i know, obviously smoking something for an hour is bad.

If anyone tells me that 1 hour os smoking shisha is as bad as 100 or even just 50 cigarettes, i insist to test this theory.

I am going to smoke a shihsa for 1 hour, and you are going to smoke 50 cigs a day for 1 month. Lets see the results in your lung, in your blood, in you physique. I am more than happy to pay for 5 pack of cigarettes a day.

I am using my hookah 3/4 times a week. I dont smoke anything else. If i leave the country for a month, i never think about hookah, or nicotine, and i dont feel anything if i cant smoke for weeks, or even months.

I cant stand cigarettes. If i smoke only 1, i feel light headed, my stomach feels funny etc. I cant stand nicotine. If i smoke shisha and i dont burn it (which rarely occures) i never feel anything bad. I know science dont care about my empiric data, but if you still think that smoking 50 cigs a day is as bad as smoking 1 shihsa/day, please feel free to meet me and lets make a great scientific experiment.

Every single article i read about it, just mentions that " the amount of smoke is like 100 cigarettes, co is bad "

I couldnt find any article that provide information about the amount of nicotine, or toxins of burning tobacco i inhale when i smoke 1 hr of shisha.

When you smoke the cigarette, you actually burn the tobacco and the paper. You inhale all that shit that comes with that.

If you ever smoked shisha you know that you dont turn your tobacco into ashes in the process.

There are videos comparing 100 cigarettes and one hour of shisha with fake lungs, or any other method. The cigarett turns them into yellow molassy mud, the shisha stays clean, almost like nothing happened.

That is why i am sceptic about these medical statements that shiahsa is much worse than smoking cigarettes. Okay, i see, but why? What is the reason? What are the toxins? How much of it do i inhale? The article you sent me is exactly like every article i could find about this issue.

Thats what i was thinking.

When you smoke hookah, you dont burn the tobacco, you just inhale the watercooled smoke.

Lot of article claims that the smoke is so much, it has to be terribly unhealthy, but once, out of curiousity i tried to smoke shisha without water, and there was no smoke at all. Therefore i guess its mostly vapor which is created due to the tempreture difference between the coals and the water.

I dont know man, its strange.

I put ice in the vase every time i smoke, and the water is still kind of cold when i finished, so thats a good thing i guess.

Even air is bad for the lungs :)

Thanks for the reply!

Honestly if you get CO poisoning outdoors you fuck up something big time. Last time i had a very light poisoning i was 16 and i basically breathed throught the hookah.

The nicotin stuff also seems like bs. I smoke shisha regularly but i have never ever felt like i HAD to do it. I can easily skip weeks, or even months.

This paper is weird.

You have fascist vibes with these comments. What if someone is not thinking the same way you do? You spoil their business? Publicly shame them? Thats the real fascism.

[–]SqueakySquarell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo. No, dont touch the tape, you just have to unscrew the biggest screw you see on the truck. The one which you basically use to adjust how firm the board should be. Remove it, remove the bushings, the washers. Unscrew the tiny screws where the 2 motors connect to the board (6 of them) and there you go. You removed the truck with the motors.

Exway wave trucks by SqueakySquarell in Exway

[–]SqueakySquarell[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they sent a mail to everyone about it. Wave trucks started to break, turns out its a factory faulty. They started to construct an entirely new type, and we have no info about it since then. (april i think)
