SmokinMoose Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I am getting tired of fixing the Hookah Bag I bought online and worrying about the vase breaking when someone else is carrying it. So I think it's time I try to make or buy a hard case that will fit my KM Mashal (Ice Bucket 30" approx) The dimensions I was thinking was 35 L X 10 W X 10 H. I will add picture of what I usually carry with my hookah. 1. Has anyone seen a hard case anywhere for sale that would work? 2. Has anyone made one? 3. Any suggestions on what materials to use for the case? I was thinking wood but it would be way too heavy. I want a material that easy to work with and not too expensive.

[/quote] This is also my notion. Also, what you can do to make it "fit" your KM is to get a form fitting foam....I guess like memory foam. So that way it's not just a hookah case, and no matter what you put in it, it would work. As I was typing this I was thinking of maybe a diff kind of case. Try looking for a case for a long musical instrument. You can gut out all the existing pieces used to secure the instrument and use the foam.

Flared end could work for the base or icebucket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Word, I thought of a musical instrument case as well. Growing up my dad was a high school band director... those cases are perfect, actuallly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoozle Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) I've actually been on the look out for a cheap guitar case for my stuff. I think that would be good for a couple of pipes and all of the supplies to go along with it. Plus it would look a lot cooler than all my stuff in a plastic box and hoses draped around my neck.

Skoozle Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I think an acoustic case would be wide enough for a bell vase but not for the pyramid vase I like to take to parties. I would swap vases to use a guitar case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy Oma Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 The standard KM bell fits in an older accoustic guitar case -some of the new ones arenot deep enough - with some room for padding material. I picked up one for a few dollars at a second hand store and my double heart trimetal even fits in it with room to spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rooker Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Pelican cases are super nice. I almost bought one for some pistols because it had room for 4 firarms, then I looked at the price tag and chose the cheaper $40 route. I know a few engineers that use them for very sensitive testing equipment that would probably cost them their jobs if they broke it due to the expense of the equipment.
