Imsomint Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) It was at a rave in phoenix. There was a little hookah bar set up in a corner of the warehouse and they had their hookahs snugged into these: http://images.builderssquare.com/Detail/0/...2943_Detail.jpgI was thinking about seeing if I could find one, rough it up a bit, spray paint it white and find some rubber pads to put on the ends of the screws. Thoughts? Edited March 19, 2009 by Imsomint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinamon Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 if you need a christmas tree stand to keep your hookah stablized then you must be extremely clumsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a_shimoon Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Nice.... I didn't think about putting ice in there. But its perfect, I've been thinking of a way to surround the base in ice for a while. This should do the trick quite well. Imagine your hookah base staying ice cold for 3 hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneGreenMonstah Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 i'm digging that idea... throw up pics if you end up doing it! ...i'm not gonna lie i will eventually do it but its not gonna be til christmas time haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhanzair Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 When there are some friends involved, it's pretty easy to tip over a hookah. I've actually gone through the horror of seeing my hookah suspended in the air, hanging from the hose, when two of my friends decided they both *had* to take a puff at precisely the same time.

SuburbanSmoker Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Ya thats why you need to train your friends not to do stupid things while in possesion of the hookah.Ive seen people build boxes, then bolt a stand kind of like that on the inside. seemed kinda bulky and tacky looking.

If it gives 1-1/2"'s , that could prevent some spill overs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuburbanSmoker Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I just accept the un-deniable reality that there is ntohign you can do, it will happen wether your carefull or not. just make sure its not your best hookah (i use a mya acrylic for parties lol) and you dont have anything valuable. instead of retard proffing the hookah, you need to retard proof the people first, or at least the smoking area.

NICE! Especially the pic on the hike, hahaha. Good concept, I hope it does well, I know product design is fairly expensive, used to work for a invention design firm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalSoil Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Yeah, they got mixed reviews, and a lot of comparisons to other standard hookahs.I personally would love to have one but the price tag just doesn't do it for me.I missed out on their buy one get the second half off deal they had a long time ago. I might have gotten 4 total if i was able to.I have some friends who like to party and like to smoke so it would have been perfect for them.I mean come on... who wouldn't like to use a wine cask or 5 gallon water jug as a hookah just once?Hmmm... I I I I.... wow, that makes me feel like a self centered asshole... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
