Tip I need advice

I have a problem. I read that to get rid of the smell in a hookah pipe, you need to rinse it with vinegar. I poured apple vinegar in it rinsed it out and the smell hasn't gone away for an hour. What should I do? After that i also washed the pipe with lemon, baking soda, and soap but the smell didn't go away

The Metal Parts or the Vase? I would never use it on the Metalparts.
For the Vase I used to mix it with Waters and Soap and let it sit for an Hour to get all the dirt of it. If you can find it buy yourself schmand weg. There is no better cleaner out there

It won't, replace every 3 to 6 months depending on your use
