KINGTRAE66 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Hookah Diffusers what do they do? how many of you guys use them? Are they good accessory for the hookah or a gimmick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy Ford Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Diffusers are supposed to 1) give you bigger clouds 2) give you a smoother smoke 3)quiet the hookah. I think opinions around here vary as to their effectiveness. I got one awhile ago but rarely used it because i saw no difference. I use one now just because it quiets down my hookah a lot. Personally, i would say it's worth a shot to try one out. If nothing else, you can quiet your hookah if you wanna watch a movie and smoke. Also, i think there is a thread on homemade diffusers somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epoch Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 You're gonna get lots of mixed claims on this product. I like them, they seem to give the smoke a better texture, especially stuff that's usually harsher. Also, keeps the hookah from bubbling really loudly.

nars2k Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Ive made a couple diffusers and used them but the only real difference in my opinion is that it just silences the hookah like others said. But one actual positive of the diffuser is that since the bubbles get broken into many small ones, the water is able to cover more of the bubbles surface area. This filters more of the smoke but who knows how much. I would suggest just making one yourself and seeing how you like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikemyusername Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I made my diffusor out of a mod bowl grommet, I just took a hole punch to it. It does what it's supposed to which is to make the hookah quiet. I use it when we watch movies because otherwise I can't hear what the people are saying. I certainly wouldn't buy one If you have a mod bowl grommet, they're the fat white ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsfan6216 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I've made several out of hotel shampoo bottles (or alot of stores sell them for like $1). The biggest upside is that it makes your hookah really quiet. I've combined the diffuser with my pharoine, small phunnel, and AS hose, and have actually had people take a hit, and with the big draw of the AS and the silence of the diffuser, they ask "Am I doing this right" and they are sending a big puff of smoke out. Pretty funny to see even from friends that have smoked with me in the past from the QT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyCallMeDave Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 There was a topic on this earlier in the year, and someone left a reply something along these lines... "Diffusers do indeed quiet your hookah a considerable amount, but I personally like the hypnotic bubbling they make". I would have to agree with this. I find the bubbling kind of relaxing, it's all part of the experience for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vendetta_revived Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Agreed. It just isn't that fun if you take the bubbles out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzbizz Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Yeah I've only found that it kills the bubbles, which is lame during a usual session, but if you're watching a movie it can be useful. Last time I used it, I got a buzz quicker and harder, but I think it was due to my packing skillz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorlyfish Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I use one all the time and like it, mostly for the silencing effect. I usually am listening to something while I smoke. I still hear some bubbling, but its not as loud. Can't say anything one way or another about thicker/smoother/different smoke - if there is a difference there, it's pretty minimal. There are a lot of other factors that will affect your smoke a lot more than breaking the bubbles up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukhookah Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Its main objective is to increase the bubbles therefore increase the surface area thus allowing more of the smoke particles to get filtered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
