craziazn1469 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 i wonder if you took a garden hose, or a hose with a wider diameter and just fit it on, how that would affect the smoke.thicker/have more volume? like.. making a bigger, better.. ghetto nammor?

jakescakes Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 (edited) the thicker the better. Nammor is around the optimum diamater though Edited May 17, 2008 by jakescakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craziazn1469 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 just made one with a bit of old washed garden hose.it's been in the sun for a while.. the outer rubber coating is kinda gross, but nothing that a good, thourogh scrubbing can't help take out.washed the inside for a bit, rubber smell is faint but taste is gone.the two bits of the handle were gross, their some throw back ones i got stock with my hookahs. not realy sure what they are, but the handles look like the first post's.. but with what looks like male parts of a screw instead of a flat clynder like the first post's picture.any idea on how to get that gunk out? i'll take pictures later.. but it does work; tried it out with the last bit of smoke from a hookah sesh that was going on whilst i was doing this.

skaplayer89 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I did one of these the other day with 2M of hose. My problem is that once I attach the mouthpiece to the hose, any advantages gained by the wider hose are lost by the diameter of the mouthpiece. So like another member said already, I just took off the mouthpiece. Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidglass Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I agree that you "lose" the advantage because the smoke has to funnel into the narrow opening, but better to have smoke 'in reserve' waiting to go in, than have a smaller hose.The ONLY idea I have (at 5:30am) is this. Get something you can put on the outside of the hose for a mouth tip and secure. I'm not sure what, but someone custom made a hose with a decorative bamboo chute so something like that would work and be original. I'm just not sure how you would secure it honestly unless you could have something that would fit perfectly against the rim of the hose and superglue/hotglue it then of course cover it up.

Toxik916 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I just made this mod to my cobra today and I love it. I was getting huge clouds and probably my best session yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teleute Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Anyone try this with a 3/4" inner diameter hose? I am making a hookah out of a 4 liter filter flask and it already has a 1/2" barb, so expanding would be easy for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpw36 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 so if i were going to use plumbing parts what size coupler/adapter would i need for it to plug into the hose port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahadden Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 So i tried this and it smokes great. The only problem is that the hose is so stinking inflexible that it has nearly toppled my hookah over many times. This might work well for a solo smoke but this tubing (i used vinyl) just doesn't flex enough to pass the hose around comfortably. Does anyone have any tips on how I can make the tubing more flexible, or maybe a way to counter-balance the hookah so it doesn't tip so easily with this hose on?

mettalikatt Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 just did this to my hose for my KM Blue pear. The hookah isn't in danger of tipping it's so heavy but the hose does come out of the port a bit in flexible but i'll leave it out in the sun next summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckah Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I can't wait to do this to all my old MYA hoses! Props for the post and all the additional comments/pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bye bye now have fun Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Im not a fluids engineer, but wouldnt the rate of flow be limited by the smallest hole? one advantage i would see is that expanding gases cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehelios Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I don't know where I read this (maybe somewhere earlier in this post) but someone said that you should put the tubing in boiling water and have yourself and a friend stretch it out. By stretching it, it makes the wall of the tubing thinner which makes it more flexible. Haven't tried this yet but does seem to make sense.

Bye bye now have fun Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 the tubeing i got is rated for 30c so i can see a problem with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehelios Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I got 10 ft. of 5'8 ID vinyl tubing, put the whole thing into a boiling pot of water, and stretched it out as much as I could and now the thing is extremely flexible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizzbizz Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 These are the ones I made. I got some hose adapter 1/2 inch on both sides. my hose is 3/8 though but it has a nice snug fit. i didnt soak it in hot water because they're pretty flexible as is.[attachment=2607:IMG00214.jpg] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehelios Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 QUOTE (GNUWorldOrder @ Nov 28 2008, 10:31 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>how long did you leave it in there?I took a section of it, let it sit in the water for about 10 seconds, then took it out and stretched it as hard as I could for about 5-10 seconds and just repeat for the whole thing. I did not run cold water through it afterwards, just let it cool down on it's own. I think putting cold water on it just shocks it too much and would make it hard again. Smoked with it last night and seems to fix my problem of not having a good session in a while. Yay for the homemade section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giant Ninja Robot Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Got some tubing today, gonna make the hose today/tomorrow. They only sold it by the 10-20ft section so I picked up what seemed to be a near fit and I plan to buil up with electrical tape and then after assembly, taking a hair drier to the ends to tighten it up (I hope).I'll be soaking in boiling water as well thanks for that tip.

Giant Ninja Robot Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Made the hose the same day, and I LOVE it.Here's a link to the hose tips I used for those who dont know wassup.http://www.hookah-shisha.com/store/pc/conf...;idproduct=2004notice how the brass handle is coated in spiral shaped acrylic? The acrylic is about the same diameter as the vinyl tubing and since it's clear it matches and frankly just looks badass.I used the electrical tape and it worked fine, I took a blow drier to it once assembled to soften then push the ends in even further and tighten things as much as possible.Smokes ALMOST on par with my KM Ultimate and leagues above how it used to.VERY HAPPY AND THANKS TO ALL WHO CAME BEFORE ME WITH TIPS AND ADVICE.
