guitarman023 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I was just wondering if any of you were familiar with electronic cigarettes or vaporizers? If you are, have you ever tried to put e-fluid in your hookahs? I'm only asking because I am currently trying to find out if making an electronic hookah is possible.

Hassouni Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 They already make electric "coals" i.e. something you plug in and put on top of your bowl that heats it. In my view, even with coals, hookah is essentially vaporization anyway. When you look at a spent bowl, it's not ash, it's just dried out but intact tobacco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fineout Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 i think there was actually an e-hookah based off the principle of the e cigarettes where you used the same fluid flavor stuff as the e cigarettes, if you do a search you can find more about it.

[/quote] Yeah, there's a virtual one that hasn't gone into production, I was just wondering if anybody had tried the same fluid stuff to see if it vaporized. I have a hookah coming next week, and I'm going to try and modify it, just seeing if anyone had experimented with flavored juices. How do the electric coals work? From the reviews I was reading they didn't sound very promising, or maybe you just needed more than one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I've puffed on an e-cig, and while it's pretty sweet for a stealth nicotine hit, it's not the kind of thing that gives flavorful clouds like hookah, so I don't really know why you'd want it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tested the stuff with a soldering iron heating coil and got HUGE clouds of vapor. I'll post some vids if I can get it working if you'd like.

guitarman023 Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 those ones at 711 are pretty much the generic, bottom of the barrel in case anyone was thinking about trying them. There are much better units out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
