FamiliarJoe Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 So ive been sad lately because im always in class or at work , so I never have time to use my hookah.So I decided to take advantage of the cage my QT came with...Hoses are unplugged when im not using it but, it works great When I take sharp turns I just hold onto it so it doesn't swing to much, but other than that it works out GREAT!Everyone looks at me funny on the road but I get a good laugh out of it.

I got a nice little hookah love stain now from that. As long as your careful it works out pretty nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyj316 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I'd be careful with that setup... You could (and will eventually) get stopped for something and probably (most likely) cited for obstruction of view and/or given guff for it "being for NHT" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However a hookah is liable to cause some attention.How about when you foil your bowl you leave some extra so you can fold it up and make a saucer for the coals to fall into should they slide.

Isn't it the equivalent to smoking a cigarette in your car? When im driving I try not to use it and keep it just for looks..and use it in between classes.

I know what you mean now, I guess it would be smart of me to put it in my trunk or somewhere secure when im in a "very populated" area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotsi95 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Thats why i have a leila....its DESIGNED for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drabin Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 thats why I have a leila as well...The reason for not having it hanging is that a cop can pull you over for anything. a hookah can be used for illegal activities so of course they will check it.

113 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Looks like a good idea - but I would be worried about the weight of the QT pulling off the mirror...they're only epoxied on. I just put a windscreen/chimney on mine and closed the cage, put it on the floor of the car...works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When im driving I try not to use it and keep it just for looks..and use it in between classes.There are statutes in many states that make it illegal to have the driver's field of vision (the windshield) obstructed. By having your hookah hanging from your rearview, it is in the middle of your field of view and makes you more prone to getting into an accident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplexCoda Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 First off what they were saying about obstruction of view has nothing to do with smoke or smoking. It has everything to do with having a hookah hanging from your rear view mirror and blocking your view according to the law. Also that weight will eventually pull your mirror off and it will likely happen when there is a brand new coal on the top and in rush hour traffic. For smoking hookah in the car i would suggest either a leila or just setting the cage on the floor of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalSoil Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 my mirror > his mirror. on all 2 of my cars (Honda) the mirrors are attached to the roof of the car, not the windshield. this is not true in all Honda made cars though (gf's CR-V) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff_T Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Cool setup, but like others have said i'd be very careful with the weight of that on something just stuck to your windshield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbCorruption Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Haha! That is so flippin' sweet! I would hate to have to explain that one to the cops. Plus, you are a brave man to be putting coals on that swinging death trap, what if one flies off and lands right in your crotch!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
engineonmute Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 hmmmmm do you really need to smoke that bad? i dunno. it just seems like an accident waiting to happen.i can just picture the weight of th qt pulling off the mirror flinging coals everywhere....hope you're careful man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isis Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 that is clearly the stupidest thing iv ever seen, when someone drops a cig on there lap is bad, imajin a 40mm coal flying off or even worse fling into 20 pices allover your legs floor seat.....

hoho Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 That is awesome, I do the same thing in my car all the time. The only difference is I wrap the seatbelt in the cage and use on of those lock top bowls so the coal never falls. It works great for long road trips or just cruising with a bunch of friends.

Anxiety Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Where i live some cops will give you a ticket for having an air freshener hanging from your rear view mirror, never mind a hookah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that idea better than free-rolling it on the rear view mirror. Driving while smoking hookah is dangerous enough, dont do something that will likely get you into an accident that could kill you faster than the smoking does.

NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 im not that obsessed with it yet..but then again i hope i never get to that point..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamiliarJoe Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 Yeah like I said before I don't literally smoke it while im driving everywhere, but my 30 minute breaks between class it's nice to have a pre packed bowl of shisha to smoke for a few friends and chill somewhere heh. I wouldn't hang it there if I thought it wasn't sturdy enough to get the job done trust me haha! The QT is light enough with not to much water that it is fine.It was a nice idea , not for everyday driving though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
