FireMeetsIce Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Hey guys,I went to a spring rush for a frat I will be pledging on campus the other day and I was smoking my arizona tea bottle hookah. I had a bunch of people tell me they would pay me to make them one. Long story short, I am playing around with some designs to make quality versions of the HHH. I will be moving to Florida for the summer, so by the time I get back I will have a bunch ready to sell here on campus. So once I get the final product perfected, I would love to sell them to you guys too. I just wanted to know how much you would be willing to spend on one. The first one cost me quite a bit to build; about $45 bucks, but it has a quick release hose with lots of pipe fittings that won't be included in the new one. This thread is pretty much open for any comments or suggestions you have. I will post updates as I built new prototypes (w/ pics). I am waiting for some parts in the mail right now, but once the next one is built I will post it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erufiku Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Lets see the pic then talk about the price. You're rivaling QT @ 45$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireMeetsIce Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 Here are some pics of the first one, not too great:http://www.hookahforum.com/index.php?showtopic=20583It won't be $45, but I'm not out to challenge the QT. More like the Lelia Travel Hookah. It fits great in a cup holder. Once I get the quality down, and it will actually be worthy of purchace (it will look nice and professional, and they smoke great) I know I can sell them on campus for $40. But I know with you guys, that is pricey. I was thinking $30 or $25 depending on how much they cost me to make. Which compared to $100 for the Lelia is decent for something you can bring on the road with you. But like I said, it will have to be great quality, and I intend to not sell them untill I achieve that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1v3th3ad Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I'd pay $30 on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erufiku Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Is it going to have any "safety features" like the coal holder on the Leila? I might be sold if so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I have also found it is great for just moving around. My friends and I are always going places and with the HHH I'm not confined to anywhere.

Nikon1323 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 that thing looks pretty BA see if you can mod some thing on it to hold the coal in place and i think your set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be sold if so Yes. As of now, I am still waiting on a tea ball that would encase the coal incase of spillage, so I will see how that works. I am also working on one that will accept normal bowls. Saying that, I ordered a combo bowl ealier today to see how that works out. If the bowl grommet works out when I get more parts something like this would be an option too:http://www.hookaholic.com/item--Small-Cera...-BOWLS0010.htmlSo, right now it seems I will have two different designs, one with the tea ball, and one for whatever bowl you want. But only time will tell what will work out. Like I said, got to wait on the mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 People would look at me so weird if they saw me smoking out of something with that many metal parts. Mainly the cops... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZenSilk Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Before or after they confiscate it? But, by all means, that is a great design you have there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
