ryno Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 So i've been wanting to build my own hookah for awhile, and I've read that copper shouldn't be used as a stem... my question is, what metals are ok to use for a stem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copper is fine as well as just about everything you can pick up at the hardware store. Use your judgment, if its a material they make cups/pans/forks out of its gunna be ok.

mj_b90 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 There's an entire sticky dedicated to the big metal discussion. Absolute best would be pyrex/lab glass haha, but things like stainless steel and brass are usually the go to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikhman Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I'll vouch for pyrex, its absolutely wonderful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Joker Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 You're even ok with plastic as long as it's rated microwave safe, and if it's the end in the water the smoke will be cooled down plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
