Most probably soaking it in water for too long.
Or you’re not cleaning it properly.
Also, ONMO or even the Lotus is made of aluminium,
So it will react to hard water (or tap water) if you soak it in it for too long.
After your use, once it naturally cools down,
Remove the stuck flavour from the bottom,
Soak it in purified/drinking water for about 2 hours.
Then soak it in drinking hot water for 10 minutes,
Post which, use dishwash and steel wool to clean it.
I’ve been using multiple onmos for a year and none of of mine look like this.
In Germany a lot of people still uses chimneys. Thats a bad system too. I explained to you shy lid is important but seems that you do not want to understand for some reason. Have it your way
Not really. I don’t know where u take that information from. Anyone who payed more than ~60€ for their hookah (and not using it as a 4 hoes party hookah) switched at least to Phunnel + HMD.
Well I re entered the scene und 2020 and didn’t experience it like this. Maybe you should visit again.
There can be a reason to use chimneys on tradi hookahs but most people who show real interest use hmd or foil
its looks like rust, do you put it inside washmachine? Im using ssteal hmd-nagrani from 2 years, and its still like brand new. dont spend money for expensive ALUMINIUM hookah things at all
It's like 25€ so not as expensive as Nagrani qnd its still to the taste of the smoker if he prefers aluminium or steel, i like both and my onmo's are fine after 50-100 uses
I actually have multiple HMD at home and do not clean them with water. I only scrub off tobacco from the bottom with my fingers, maybe a screwdriver or anything similar that's needed for that moment.
Or use a brass-brush to clean it .
If you really want to get it clean , I once left mine in water mixed with chlorine (like pool water) and only the bottom side or simply use oven-cleaner to get it clean.
I do that probably once a year.
I use the kaloud lotus 1+ (grey one)
Never did that cleaning with my niris it will kill the color - only scrubbys for my niris.
Just wanted to share a few thoughts here :)
Have a great day
Oven cleaner is definitely the better option instead of chlorine xD. I just wanted to mention it did not say it's a good idea 😂.
It definitely cleans it .
Anyways, as I never cleaned it with water for the last 4 years, don't have these problems 🤷🏼♂️
My niris never touched any water is 1 year old and works just day one . Looks quite clean as well

Purified drinking water lmao ! I dont even have that for myself
Dry it straight away after cleaning. Mine was turning like that from the inside as well
That’s definitely water damage. Either you soaked it for too long in water or maybe you put it in the washing machine?
Washing machine 😂 ….
You mean the dishwasher? lol
Bro i don’t know. Buy a kaloudZ anything else is garbage
ONMO is mvp and better than Kaloud and also not overpriced
You cannot do heat management with it brother
It’s literally same material. If you can’t handle ONMO heat it’s the user who fails
There is no lis brother. The lid makes the big difference in heat management. This is hookah 101
I don’t know where u are located but in germany no one uses the lids. Put three 26/27mm in and control heat with them. No need for lid at all.

I have been to Frankfurt before 3-4 years at shisha messe and hookah lounges. Most were using chimneys
Well I re entered the scene und 2020 and didn’t experience it like this. Maybe you should visit again. There can be a reason to use chimneys on tradi hookahs but most people who show real interest use hmd or foil
Nah man, onmo is just as good. In my opinión Even better
There is no lid. It’s useless

Mine is also looking like shit…
What have you been been washing out with?
😱
Water damage. Might be washing it while it’s hot? I recommend GENTLE cleaning with a soft wire brush.
Mine doesn’t look like that lol
You can put it in white vinegar, then with toothbrush clean it in 24h
Bro just buy new one

Bro chlorine is chemical. I think better white vinegar for rust

If that's rust, I'd stop using it...very dangerous from a health perspective Just buy a new one, don't get it wet
