[quote name='clickhea' timestamp='1295190911' post='494528'] how would you clean something like that if you couldnt get the brush in there? and heres your glass hookahs [url="http://www.crownhookahs.com/"]http://www.crownhookahs.com/[/url] [/quote] You can let it sit in Simple Green or Grunge Off.. No need to stick your brush in fragile glass to clean it.. And thanks for the website I've never seen those before ! Gonna have to split this one up: [quote name='magick777' timestamp='1295192336' post='494532'] I haven't tried a diffuser, but, they meet with a lukewarm reception around here; I was recommended against. [b]A diffuser can only increase drag when smoking, never reduce it [/b] [/quote] They most certainly do reduce the drag and absolutely don't increase it! Yeah maybe if you make a diffuser out of a shampoo bottle it will increase but if you have a proper blown showerhead, waffle or circulator for example you will definitely notice how much smoother you can take puffs . [quote name='magick777' timestamp='1295192336' post='494532'] As for "a hose that's 100% free of taste"... I'm really not sold on the washable hose argument; they don't seem to ghost any less than my leather hoses. I guess for a personal pipe you could use a straight glass or metal tube, which would be very cleanable, but I'm sticking to flexible materials for my hoses :-) There are few flexible materials that are truly proofed against retaining odours, so, live with it and replace your hoses periodically.[/quote] There are definitely good materials available to make a nice washable free-of-taste hose. I don't know about the average washable hose on a hookah but on other smoking devices (with ceramic heaters and such) there's hoses of amazing quality! [quote name='magick777' timestamp='1295192336' post='494532'] I'm not saying that all innovation is bad; I'm about to buy some fancy German-made flavour-retaining bowls that I fully expect to be better than standard Egyptian ones. But, the particular ideas you propose are not new, and they are not things I would pay extra for on a pipe. They're available as bolt-on extras, if that's your thing. I guess "improve" is subjective. [/quote] What I mentioned is indeed not new but you seldom see it in hookahs whilst with another type of water pipes it's very common that they are made out of glass only, have a diffuser and sometimes a percolator or other extras. And it does really improve the taste to only use glass, it's also much easier to completely clean it so 'bolt-on extra's' isn't really the right description. I guess it's not improvement but satisfaction that is subjective .

Hello there! I was wondering why you never see hookahs that are just a little more thought through, by this I mean there's a lot of things that would improve the average hookah. For example a "showerhead diffuser" would already be a nice improvement, instead of one hole in the downstem it would look like this: [img]http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/4103/49hgi7lp.png[/img] It would mean less drag when smoking and better diffusion of the smoke. Also I always see metal and rubber parts, why never a full glass hookah with glass on glass joints? And a hose that's 100% free of taste?

[/quote] Awesome song ! I've never been a huge van of dubstep but this sounds cool! Oh and a friend of mine gave me some nice bands to smoke to as well.. 'Koop': [media][url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aa4A9G1gu2g"]http://www.youtube.c...h?v=aa4A9G1gu2g[/url][/media] And 'Nest': [media][url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzX5omzzGX4"]http://www.youtube.c...h?v=dzX5omzzGX4[/url][/media] Enjoy..

For those who enjoy reggae and dub; I recently came across a great band, 10 Ft. G. Plant. They have great roots reggae and very psychedelic dub ! Here is a bunch of songs I really love: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZu3ra_9UbU"]Kneel at the Feet[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iHRJSbQ86E"]Rebel in the Hills[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItVvRTTh9RU"]Two Bulls[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJFZCdkhq24"]Hillside Airstrip[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0eNzDpi9wU"]Your Voice[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UffzqmkmTQ"]Head Shrinker[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LI8m65j_b0"]Wailin'[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYRSn1kyo84"]Blues Dance[/url] (you should at least listen to 'Kneel at the Feet' and 'Your Voice' ) Just too bad it's sort of a mysterious group of musicians. Many guest artists and little performances, I can't find any tour information whatsoever .

Yesterday I went to IJmuiden to flyboard and I finally managed to land a clean backside 360 ! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXiQBxnlA6A"]http://www.youtube.c...h?v=kXiQBxnlA6A[/url] Now my legs are wasted .. Think I'm gonna turn on some music and prepare a hookah now .. (sorry for useless post- was just proud of myself haha)

Nettle cheese! [img]http://thumb1.shutterstock.com.edgesuite.net/display_pic_with_logo/197884/197884,1234388608,2/stock-photo-dutch-nettle-cheese-maturing-on-a-wooden-shelve-24823771.jpg[/img] Hmm yeah that's good olde cheese right there !

I once put the coal in a glass ashtray.. When I woke up the next morning the glass was broken and there was quite a visible spot in my wooden table >< . But I used wood filler and made it smooth with sandpaper.. I was so damn happy that my house didn't burn down..

Cool topic! [img]http://farm1.static.flickr.com/49/138554393_3d5b556eba.jpg[/img] Vanilla coke (never had the pepsi PSU, but hmm.. vanilla drinks) [img]http://www.antiquehelper.com/auctionimages/23176t.jpg[/img] And the good looking Lucky Strike packages..
