iamscott06 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Okay so this school year i plan on taking a couple trips around Ohio to visit my friends at college, im talking OSU, OU, Ohio Northern, blah blah blah stuff like that. My Question(s):What kind of hookah do you use?How do you keep your coal safe from falling?Lemme See some PICS! ThanksScott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBY Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I just posted about this...But I created a hookah table and loaded it up in the ol' suburban for a quick trip to town... Pics can be found in threads called "Hookah Table I built" and "Hookah Table I built part 2" I secured the coal with a foil hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofrendo Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Rule #1: make a foil ridge around the edge, or HOLD THE COALS! They don't seem like they will fall... but oh, they will. I have a few scars to prove it.I've used a Mini MYA and a MYA bohemian.I'll post pics with the technique as soon as I go to the store to get more foil.Lighting the coals in the car: if you don't use quicklites, get an old cooking pot and out the coals in there and use a blowtorch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayz Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I dont suggest smoking in the car while driving, it will fall and burn ur seats and anythin in the car.. and if u are thinking about putting foil around it .. the coal will keep on moving all over the head and either burn everythn so no 2nd coal or it will not warm up properly and smoke will be garbage and taste will get effected as well.. u can always stop for a session on the side =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAlmightyClaw Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 off topic/ I didn't realize you where in ohio. I live in columbus, but right now I am at Ohiio Wesleyan Univeristy in Delaware. /As both the people above me mention, make sure your coals will not fall off. Although I have never smoked hookah in a car...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coal didn't move at all... Smoke was pulling thick and we replicated the movies where gansters roll up in a smokey car....We weren't that careful while driving either. That was just once though... maybe we were lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofrendo Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 No, no. The coal will not move at first. I smoked plenty of times and it never moved. But it can, and rather easily. It just doesn't look like it.Oh yeah, obvi, you have to have someone else in the car to hold the hookah. Unless you get that cupholder one...

ayz Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 (edited) if u have a small head then yea i think that cud work out .. but i dun noe how ur coal didint move at all... but if u got a large head (and if ur the coal does move.. like it soppust to lol) then its kinda point-lessandddddd once the coal gets old like afte 20-25 min of smoking .. it will start ashing and all the crap will go into the head and yea i jus dun see the point of it rlly.. ill try one day forsure tho heh Edited September 17, 2007 by ayz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamscott06 Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 So do you guys stick it in a cupholder or have someone hold it on the ground in between there legs?Thanks for the help so far though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBY Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 (edited) I would guess people hold it... Cup holder would have less stability and more likely to fall.... Good thing about the table I just stuck it in the back of the suburban and it stayed put.Also if it is small enough you could stick it in the center console thing.

nofrendo Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I had someone hold it on the ground between their feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus my cupholders probably wont work, the hookah would probably be touching my cd player and shit.. dont wanna mess that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingMidas Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 My friends and I have smoked numerous times in the car. When we moved to edmond from tulsa (OKlahoma) we were making a bunch of trips back and forth. The trips lasted about an hour and a half, so... perfect. The biggest piece of advise I can give is, make sure you have a big ash tray underneath your bowl, wide with big walls. Have someone hold it and maintain the coals, it'll works like a dream. My preferred way to drive for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staygone Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 If you want to smoke in an automobile I got five words for you: The Wich or The Hobohookah. Grab a bottle that fits perfectly in the cup holder (I use a Sigg 1L with the Hobo, a Crush bottle for The Witch) and build a crown for the coals. Check out this video, http://youtube.com/watch?v=QerE2cbDi_gI love smokin' on my way up to Eau Claire, 2 hours of bliss rollin' down open highways.-QM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I just don't see how you lot do it.Having something like this in the uk would have your ass in a jam in a New York second.It's just bloody dangerous. Or maybe we drive faster?I just can't see me hacking around J27 of the M25 with hose in one hand and car in t'other.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camelflage Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 yeah, at the speed i drive i cant imagine trying to handle the car with one hand and a hose with the other. now for the passengers, and maybe an occasional hit for the driver, it makes more sense.i know this coming May when i go storm chasing again we are going to get a big suv and put my 24" monitor in the back for our radar screen. so i plan on bringing a hookah so i can sit there watching the radar and smoking while we chase tornados...

staygone Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I say, it is as much dangerous as driving around on the phone or worst the people who drive intexicated. Still haven't seen a hookah related car accident . -QM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally 98 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 If using finger coals, why not put a foil hat around the bowl, then get a paperclip and make it the right size and wedge it between the coals? They wont roll and they will be held against the foil. Just a rough idea. It seems like it'd work fine.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejoshman Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 i smoke in my car all the time! lol.get a bowl with a wind protector....the ones that latch.im too cheap to buy one, so i make one out of foil. i make a little wall around my bowl, its cool. then i put my hookah in the case it came in. and i usually have a passenger who holds it and stuff. but when im by myself i use my smaller one and i put it in a clean empty large container and then secure the container and then go with it. good luck!!

garykainz Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 (edited) i've never smoked in a car, seems like an awesome addition to the roadtrip usuals. now, cruzing the forum, i found an awesome idea for you... i direct you here Edited September 19, 2007 by garykainz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaara Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 What we do is get a strong package and put the Hookah in there. Place other items in there to make a snuggly fit so it can be stable. Also, use a wind cover. Unless you're like on a really straight long highway and you have someone with their legs around just in case. I only smoke it when we take road trips on the highway. The coals will move around in the city since you have to make a lot of turns, stops, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamscott06 Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 Yea i dont really think that driving city streets would be the best, maye if you had a windcover but i'd still be freaking everytime we took a turn or had to slow down lol. What kind of packaging do you guys use to hold it in? lol i just can't think of anything.. links maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of like a shoe box or a sturdy cardboard box you'd ship in an item in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
