dizzing Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 very coolalthough i'd say with holes that small, you can't really hav etoo many.8 seems like it wouldn't be enough to get a good draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishdog Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 testing it, it didnt seem to have affected the draw too much, it was just slightly altered...but that can easily be fixed by adding a couple of more holes...(grabs his handy dandy expo knife...)

smokinshisha4life Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I just made a diffuser with a cigar tube and a hookah seal. I cut a cigar tube in half and drilled holes in it, the seal is a hose seal and I put that on the end of the stem and slipped the tube over it. It works great, smoke is so smooth.

The Dude Abides Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Fishdog I am much obliged to you for your pen-cap diffuser idea. I made two different versions of your invention yesterday and tested them out later in the evening. I was kind of skeptical of what the results would be, but I've been smoking hookah for 2 years and the cooling and smoothness that such a simple device offered was stunning. I wouldn't mind getting a pro-made diffuser for a complete seal and asethic reasons, but from now on my pen-caps stay on my stems. I used about 8 not-too-small holes on one of them and about 14 very-mini holes on the other. Both offered very acceptable draws, but the 8-hole version just suited my fancy a bit more because the sound was more traditional and perhaps had a little bit better draw. Wish I had a digital camera to take pics. Interesting result: the vase water after only a small bowl of ma'assel was extremely dirty and discolored. Usually that kind of water discoloration only happens after I use a large bowl and have a hour-plus session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djnick Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 i tried it, and of course the diameter of my stem was way bigger than the cap! oh well so much for that hour of poking holes. im gonna try it with a sharpie cap and report back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzing Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 use a needle tip soldering iron to make the holes.... they're fairly large but it beats the hell out of any other method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alqoshnia Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I made a diffuser about 3 weeks ago. I just got a thimble out of my grandma's sewing kit that she didnt use and drilled about 8-10 1/16" diameter holes and a bowl grommet for sealant and it worked very nicely. The noise wasnt drowned out much but it restricted water going into the hose (for all stargate/qt owners you definetely know what im talkin bout). I also noticed it filters out a lot of what seems to be nicotine. Before the session the thimble is bright silver and when I finish one session it turns all black. Flavor didnt drastically change. Ill take some pictures when I make another one for my egyptian hookah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Abides Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Perhaps offers increased filtration due to more surface contact between smoke and water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpico Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Hmm...I guess studying for finals can be put off while I mess with around with this "diffuser" idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownZero Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Interesting... and this difusser is just poped onto the bottom of the stem? ::runs to Office Depot:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinshisha4life Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 rubber fingertips work well too, i pinched it together and cut holes in it, took about 5 mins. Staples sells them, prolly office depot too. They come in a box of 12 for like 2.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
