redrum10498 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Own a few hookahs, a Mini Mya, and a few others. Decide to up and make one myself. It smokes fantastically and is easy to clean.Construction:The vase is a martini mix bottle. I chose it for its unique shape.The stem is made of copper piping connectors, and the down stem is a small aluminum pipe.It is all sealed with electrical tape rather than a rubber grommetThe hose is vinyl hose, and the bowl and ashtray came from another hookah that broke.

delSol_si Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Very cool. I am thinking copper is on the list of no-no materials that are not safe. I can't really see your downstem or how far down it goes, but it looks like you might want to leave a bit more air in the top of the bottle. I have noticed I get better hits when I have more airspace in the vase. I notice your hose kinks up a bit, might look into getting a roka or finding a more flexible vinyl to use.

delSol_si Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Nevermind, I see the downstem now. I would suggest making the downstem longer to allow yourself more air space in the vase. Still very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrum10498 Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 Hey thanks!Yeah the hose is pretty annoying, it does kink up alot and its stiff which is bad for how slim the bottle is.I will end up getting a better one this was just a quick fix. not a bad hookah for $11 haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuie Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Very Nice. Yeah I agree that it might smoke better if you drop the downstem an inch maybe 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delSol_si Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I thought aluminum cans were a big no-no item that a person is not supposed to use for a bowl because of the ink and residue left on the can? I remember a guy on here awhile back that used a cut up keystone can to place between his shisha and coals and got quite a bit of concern from fellow hookah smokers about the lack of safety. But, cool red-neck hookah anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
