GQ_Playboy Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 alright guys... i've read alot about diffusers from this forum... and even know i question their usefullness... i really like thick smoke but i dont like harshness i dont even know if this diffuser thing is for me... but ill give it a shot. now the best looking one i saw on this forum was this big rubber thing that had holes in it... but it was obscure... it was taken from some kid science kit lol. What in your opinion is the best item to make a diffuser out of... that you can find in the house? and how can you tell if your diffuser is... "working"Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymptom Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I made a really good one out of a large pencap, but I don't use it because I don't like the idea of having my smoke come into contact with plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakemonster Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 The "bottle rocket" out of a bottle of Guinness Stout.you cut the blunt end off and drill hiles in tapered end. Warm up the cut end with a lighter to make it soft and slip in on your stem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauldavis Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 or use a plastic hose tip that comes with pretty much any hookah package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lakemonster Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 no. get the 6 pack of bottles, the cans have widgets (ball shape). The bottles have bottle rockets.1. Drink the Guinness2. Break the bottle (put bottle in three plastic shopping sacks then drop the bags on concrete. Retreive "bottle rocket)3. Make the diffuser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 plastic hose tips FTW. Readily available and works really good IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGuy Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 someone used a floating widget though if i remember correctly.Yeah, mouthtips seem logical though. Someone went all the way and welded an extra bit of metal on with holes in it for a diffuser once didn't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Close, MrGuy. It screwed on and off or something... it wasn't permenant though if I remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarecrow Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Here is my guiness diffuser:[img]http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/691/picture89zo0.th.jpg[/img][img]http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/4288/picture52hq9.th.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Well, you can use a hot pin... I used one of those cheap steak knives from Wal-Mart I got when I moved to college... Use my butane lighter to heat the end, poke a hole... repeat... and then stick it in the end of the hookah... I'll have pics up in about 3 minutes.

SiberianKiss Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 What if you were to put a thin piece of cloth over the end and rubber band it on? That would make lots of small bubbles, I'd imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuschultz Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I think that might restrict the flow a bit too much.How well does the tip diffuser work for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityboyyy Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 ok im sorry but i dont get it whats the purpose of this ... does a diffuser create more smoke clouds or less ? and if it eases up the harshness how does the smoke become thicker if at all it becomes thicker?

Whiteshadow Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I've had good results with a spring from a mechanical pen/pencil folded in half and then stuck inside the downstem on other smoking devices, it's more of a 1 time use thing though because they'll rust if they stay wetjust heat up a paperclip and poke holes in a mouthtip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Tip works great... you don't know how wierd it was the first time I put it on... It seemed to open up the air flow a bit *notice I have an open ended tip, not something like a pen cap which is closed off*, but it was so much more friggin quiet. Even with ice in the base.

DizzyGuy Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Creates more bubbles which filters smoke better, cools it more, reduces noise and creates a better draw in some cases... that's if I understand it correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
