Taking Suggestions For My New Semi Glass Hookah Project

[Floataround]

Ok so, some of you may remember before I had made a thread about glass hookahs and what people liked and did not like (this thread may or may not have been eaten by Hass the Avacodo). I came to the conclusion that my biggest issue with the majority of glass hookas are the size. I have two smaller hookas that I almost never use, even when smoking solo.

So, what I have decided to do is make a mostly glass hookah from parts that I am piecing together. I wanted input from everyone to see what looks best.

The stem I am using is a KM Signiture. I was going to upgrade then ash tray to the gold trim tray, undecided if I want the small or the large.

I am using a varity of crown bowls depending on the type of tobacco I am smoking. So that pretty much settles that.

I planned on ordering the washable hose crown offers with the glass mouth piece and hose port end, however I do not like the fact that it does now have a solid handle. It does not have to be as big as a nammor, I use a fancy hose a lot, but I do want something to hold onto. The entire hose does not have to be clear, IE - i wont complain if the handle is not. But I did want the majority of the hose to be clear like the tubing that comes with the hose. Even the "clear" nammor has that yellow tint, which I do not like.

I want the vase to also be mostly clear, non frosted. I am open to different styles.

For other mouth tips I have a pascifer on the way from Chris. I at some point want to get the glass windcover, but its the very last thing on my list of things to get.

[b]TL;DR[/b]

Give me suggestions for a wide gague hose that is mostly clear see through, that I will be able to see smoke come through. I need it to have a long handle to hold, and for it to fit glass hose tips and glass hose port ends.
Give me suggestions for a mostly clear, non frosted vase.
Tell me your favorite style glass mouthpieces

Thanks guys!

Have not tried the hose, but should fit the bill.


Maybe not, cant use the mouth tip. Edited January 30, 2012 by joytron

Shit, I forgot to add parts to the TL;DR. I need it to have a long handle to hold, and for it to fit glass hose tips and glass hose port ends. Could a mod edit that in please?

Thanks for the suggestion though The long handle tonic might work though, I could strip away the hose cover. Edited January 30, 2012 by Floataround

i have a couple of those tonic hoses they are really cool i like them and yah they are cheap which is nice but no problem with mine so far one is white and other is blue they smoke great

[Floataround]

Do you have the long handle ones? How clear is the white one, and are the tips easily removable?

[S3cretz]

my .02 if your getting the tonic hoses let them rest in direct sunlight or hot water for a while. They do have a bit of a taste to them when you first open them,

Edited that in for ya.

For clear hoses, that clear Tonic washable one looks good. Can't really think of any other clear hoses out there other than CrownHookah's, which you already know about. Finding one to fit just glass mouthpieces is going to be easier than finding one that will fit glass mouthpieces AND hoseport tips (which I'm not even sure exist besides Crown's?).

Clear or mostly clear hookah bases:

Favorite glass hookah tips-

Any of the CrownHookahs ones will obviously treat you right. I've owned three different ones and they were all great. You've got the Paci on the way, but I also really like the Orb. Trumpet is pretty cool but different than others because it fits around your lips. Some people don't like that. Then you have his designer mouthpieces. You can even ask him to make a custom one for you. I really like the one he has on his FaceBook with the propeller on the inisde that spins while you take a drag. Either way, possibilities are nearly endless for mouthpieces...

Hope you finish this man to exactly how you want it, and let us know how it goes!

Thanks for all of those suggestions, it gives me a lot to work with. I am going to make sure that everything is perfect, sense this really is as close to custom as I am going to get

Keep the suggestions coming guys!
