hookah hippie Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I smoke frequently when driving to vegasIt isn't hard make sure your hookah isn't too bighave a wind coverand find something to hold the hookah still a person or compartment works well good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang_steve Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Be sure to keep those coals in place...I'd be nice to have a heating element instead of coals for that purpose though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckah Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I do this all the time ;p if I can find them I have pictures of my friend and I during our roadtrip to NY/NJ from Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckah Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Use excess foil to create a windcover/shield so that the coals don't slide off - don't quite have a picture of what I mean but hopefully that makes sense. We learned that we needed some sort of cover REALLY quickly ;pI'll never go on another roadtrip without my hookah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likespaceships Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I put my bambino stem on a vitamin water bottle and place it in the cupholder. Just throw a quicklite and a windcover on and i'm good. It is best when I have a passenger with me to move the coal around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryno Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I've smoked a few times while driving, mostly with a rotator in the front passenger side and someone holding it. Throw on a windcover and you're good to go. Also, you could try the Leilia- http://www.hookah-shisha.com/store/pc/conf...;idproduct=2808 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rani Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Okay, I'm going to be the downer here - AKA voice of reality. I smoke hookah, and yet if I get into a car accident and a hookah is found in the other car we're going to court and I'm going to win because there will be absolute evidence that you as a driver had a major distraction going at the time of the accident. And your insurance company will potentially help me do it because proving the hookah was a contributing factor might get them out of their liability depending on the exact wording of the insurance contract and how they can twist it to their benefit. As a dedicated hookah smoker I'm telling you up front you don't want your pipe going in the other car that hits me unless you're looking forward to me trying to take everything you own, so how do you think the average person who doesn't smoke or understand hookah is going to react? What's more, guys you're sitting on steel tank encased gasoline with live coals going....... Anybody else think maybe not the brightest idea in the world? If you are in a accident, leaking gas plus live coal probably equals toasted you long before the EMTs can get there.

I am prepared to make an argument against a cop about smoking hookah, but i wasnt prepared for something along those lines, so thank you for such insight.as far as coals...thats why i leave the cover on while in the car. if i get in a crash all i have to worry about is melting...unless the coals violently explode everywhere...but then again my gas tank is far away from where my hookah is, and seperated by lots of stuff. im not to worried about coal burns, they go out quickly, and would essentially melt anything in the car like it melts carpet, then go out. as far as coal burns on skin...ive had much worse...

The Leila with it's tightened down lid is a dramatic improvement and lessens the explosion factor should you end up in an accident with leaking gasoline. And you've obviously considered the bowl issue being packed ahead of time, etc. Maybe it's my age factor, but on top of everything else, I can just see the headlines when the first accident happens with a hookah in the car....... It's going to be real ugly. 'Rani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to search for about 4-5 years for the right one at the right price, lol. Little buggers are hard to find cheap. Of course it was ding free when I got it, and now so far since I have had it, I had a limb fall on the rear 1/4 panel (I was able to bent it back out with my hand with only a little ding left behind), my buddy backed out and hit it in the front 1/4 panel and was going through major depression and suicide thoughts so I couldn't really do anything about it (his life was more important to me than a 1/4 panel), and I have probably in the ball park of 300 door dings in my car now. I used to be one of those people who park in the very back of the lot until I found out it did no good. I don't understand why people have to be such assholes when it comes to opening a door.

mustang_steve Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 YEah, i didn't want to go on about the distraction factor...I make it a rule that NO smoking in my car.I actually got pissy with one of my friends the other day, because I made a one time exception for him a week ago (a wine flavored black&mild, only because they don't stink up the car)...and then a few days ago he lights up a regular black& mild and gets into my car....I made him keep it outside the car and stick his head out the window to smoke it. My car still smells like crap now...the smell will go away probably in a month.Either way, distractions are distractions....both hands should be on the wheel when moving or at the least ready to be at a split second's notice. This means nothing in hand.I used to smoke a pipe when driving (past car), but I never removed it from my mouth, tamped it, or re-lit it unless I was stopped. That was the only reason I smoked a pipe while driving, it required no hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldog_916 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Yea, a hookah is never going to be smoked in my truck. I cant see myself fumbling with hoses or coals or anything while driving or even stopped at a stoplight. Smoking hookah is designed to be a relaxing activity and not one done between places. It should be done in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10ryno Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 All you need is a wind cover and someone to hold it still and move the coal for heat management. The size of the hookah doesn't matter. I've used everything from a shitty 12" pumpkin to a MYA Obelisk. It's all about the wind cover and whoever you have holding it. I've even packed a new bowl while my friend was driving.
