Homemade Hookah

[obeyfluffy]

sooooo, i wanted to make a hookah for a long time.
and at this party with my friend i saw this candle holder and i was just like
YESSSSSS
and so we stole it, because this kid whos house we were at is a douche bag and didnt know how to throw a rave.
and then today, right before having people over, i found a used fishbowl nobody cared about
soooo, i cleaned the fishbowl out with ammonia, then dish detergent, then i pulled out the candle holder, scraped as much wax out as i could with a coat hanger, then poured a ton of boiling water through it to get any remaning wax to melt out.
i drilled a hole in the base of the candle holder and fashioned a valve and a stem out of a couple aluminum cans.
i pulled the rubber pieces of of another hookah of mine, as well as the bowl and hose.
found a way to get it all together without using any kind of glue
just some electrical tape where the bowl meets the stem. because that wont get hot enough to release fumes and kill me, right?
hopefully at least.
it smokes really well, but if anyone has suggestions that would help in making it more airtight or anything please let me know.
now that i have it assembled for the most part i plan on decking it out for a nice steampunk look, which was my first thought for a hookah and i just happened to be lucky enough to stumble accross the neccessary componets to assemble it.

What kind of metal is that candlestick made out of ?

[indian_villager]

I'm not so sure I condone theft.

[fineout]

came out cool but i dont think "not being able to throw a rave" is grounds for stealing their shit. to each his own i guess

[Karot]

Yeah I agree, don't steal shit, if someone is kind enough to have a bunch of people over, even it's for a shitty party, thats not grounds to steal their shit. If its a shitty party, just dont go, dont ruin it for others. Morals aside, I think it turned out pretty well, gj!

[obeyfluffy]

you dont have to condone my actions.
i mean in not normally the type to go around stealing shit. usually i am very opposed to it.
but this kid was just suuuuuuch an asshole that at the time i almost couldnt help myself
im almost positive that the candleholder is brass.

[RogueSmoker]

Well about the stealing who are we to tell you what to do. Nice homemade hookah though

[Sonthert]

Great thread. I'll put this with "I stole a fork from a restaurant thread". They'll match...like candlesticks.

ObeyFluffy - Dude, if you want to steal candlesticks, pens and condoms, thats your journey, just don't feel the need to tell us all. Some people 'round here don't condone theft, some people don't care, you'll start a whole big issue by telling people about it...so use good judgment. You could have left that part out. So, for future threads, be good enough to spare the details of where you scrounged your materials. If you want to start a controversy and get people upset, do it somewhere else.

well since I'm writting this, I guess this means I'm not getting banned

Why cant I be more politically correct like ERIC..Well Said..

[obeyfluffy]

i honestly didnt even think people would freak in me at all like that.
but i dont particularly care, we all make good choices.
i find the story interesting and no one that ive told it to thus far has called me out on the theft.
i guess its just one of those things.

if my intention was to start controversy, i doubt i would start it off with: so i stole this candlestick...

[obeyfluffy]

theres nothing wrong with controversey anyway, im not at all dissappointed.

smoking in itself is a controversey these days, along with many other things that should be disputed.

Well, it's obviously subjective. You're essentially comparing moral outlooks.

if my intention was to start controversy, i doubt i would start it off with: so i stole this candlestick...

It doesn't really matter if it was your intention..

[freeOS]

You (like so many other spoiled/out-of-touch/selfish/generally harmful characters) make hippies at large look bad.

I hope someone steals your tired dreads in your sleep.

[Giant Ninja Robot]

A - I think stealing is silly for the most part.

but

B - I think everyone is overreacting and there is no need to be all agressive, that makes you look like a fool imo.

C - Pipe looks cool man, If you could tidy up the seal and switch the hose port to some sort of brass plumbing dojiggy it'd be sweet. I like the round vase.

[Genie]

I think you did them a favor stealing that ugly candlestick holder. However, it's attractive as a hookah stem. So, kudos on an act of necessary evil. MUST SMOKE HOOKAH.

[obeyfluffy]

thanks for all the comments, wether or not i agree with them,
the main point of me posting this here was to get some criticism on the HOOKAH.
but yeah. the seal is the main thing i was looking for a solution or alternative method of getting a seal
using electrical tape every time i smoke it is a hassle

leave my dreads outta this.
