Mr. Roark Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I just got back from Coachella and I'm Steampunk crazy. I know a lot of people out there have some homemade hookahs, so i was wondering if anyone as attempted to make one in steampunk fashion. I think it would be sick and I have some ideas on the design. anyone else have ideas ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplexCoda Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Well Im not personally a big fan of stempunk and I have no ideas as to what parts to use and such as that but it could look awesome. Pics or it never happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Roark Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 My initial ideas are to use a lot copper piping over an existing pipe so it's functional without any weird taste repurcutions and to build a wooden base around the vase. i'm still trying to work out gears or knobs.

Mr. Roark Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 Brass will probably find its way on to it but i think the copper tubing with dirty silver welds and a little tarnished is what i want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaddMatt Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Hello everyone! this is my first post on this forum. I actually have made a steampunk hookah, for those of you un-familiar with the steampunk "look" these photos should help. [font=verdana, sans-serif][size=2]The hookah has a glass bowl, cycles from underneath to the bubbler tube and into the top chamber. There is a ball valve atop the device so a simple blow through the hose will purge any harsh smoke through the exhaust pipe (looks pretty cool too). The bowl arm detaches and an inner "trap" will catch the heated molasses to prevent it from gumming up the whole system. The mouthpiece conveniently rests in a holder on the side to keep it tidy and clean. The entire apparatus disassembles for cleaning. You can actually put the parts (minus the hose and base) into the dishwasher for a complete cleaning. The vapor chamber will be equipped with a light source very soon.

Travis Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Cleaning would be a beotch. And as much as i dont want to doubt anyone, it just doesnt seem like its a fully functioning pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chromecarz00 Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 The green thing is just for show. The teapot-top bowlish thing attached to the bottom of the clear base is the bowl, the clear thing is the base, the hose comes out of the top of the container and is held in the hose-holder. VERY nicely done. More pix and smoking pix esp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as much as i dont want to doubt anyone, it just doesnt seem like its a fully functioning pipe. [/quote] It actually breaks down in to three main parts that are very easy to clean. You can even put them in the dishwasher. As far as it being a fully functional pipe... it was a hit at news years.
