Cleaning the hookah hose
As time goes by, and your (hookah) hose gets old and dry, it usually gets to the point where it signals you of how unhappy it is with it's part in this world, and starts shooting chunks at your throat when you puff your hookah. This is a very unwanted syndrome, and the following guide will help you avoiding it.
Never wash the hose with water, it will only make things worse for you and your hose! Moist is the reason for the chunky situation in the first place.
What you need to do is simply blow air into the cleaner end of the hose, and watch the chunks fly out the other end. For better results, block and unblock the other end as you blow in, doing this you will raise the pressure and get most of the chunks out.
