htdsngup Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Ok well i went to the hookah bar...again...And i dont kno if this is new news...whoa that sounds weird, but have u guys ever seen like a hookah starter vacuum type thing?It was like, once they set up their hookahs, they attach the sucking machine (not dirty) and kinda put a constant pull on the hookah.Im not sure ive im correct in the benefits but it seems like it would break in the bowl faster, make sure the coal is lit (instant lights so no lingering in bowl) and avoid that sut in the hose. Its kinda like getting into the good part from the beginning. also maybe kinda pack the bowl a bit and evenly heat distrubute the heatIm sure u guys can put out some cricual criti. so i guess go for it.I dont think its like a must get personal item but i was just thiking it was a really cool thing.ps. i really hope this is not a previous thread.and yes, i kno there is a search funtion.

cityboyyy Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 o wow never heard of that one before ... interesting i wonder if its available on ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I don't like it... Quick lights... it seems that chemical would burn and infuse right in with the shisha... ick. And then I would think that it'd burn the bowl out quicker... so shorter session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htdsngup Posted August 22, 2006 Author Share Posted August 22, 2006 "ur turning light blinks too fast"Well im sure the coal is done self lighting. i also dont think its on full blast. Maybe like a light pull so mildly heat the bowl.i wonder if any bar owners here use them...tangiers? no.vi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyWithTheGun Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I bet you could rig a portable airbed inflator to do the same thing. Back in my pothead days I designed a bong with a gas mask on much the same principle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joetuo Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I went to a lounge on the west side of chicago and they did the same thing. It looked like it was just a clean shop vac with a foot pedal. The guy got the hookah setup then put the hose in the vacuum for about 10 seconds and the hookah was hitting nice and thick.Probably beats sitting in the back of the shop puffing the crap out of it to get it started.

GQ_Playboy Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 this seems really interesting... i kinda hate being the one to start the hookah... id love to have this vacuume thing haha where does one purchase/make one of these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htdsngup Posted August 22, 2006 Author Share Posted August 22, 2006 Dear Mr. GQ_Playboy,For free shisha/brew/girls and a small fee, i will personally come over to ur house/parties and start your hookahs for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novicafe Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Interesting. For us all of our hoses are clean before each use and we start the hookahs in the back, so when we bring them out to the cu stomer they pull decently. Of course we use a mouth piece when doing so.But this machine you're talking about seems interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauldavis Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 at the hookah bar i work, we use a vaccume cleaner to clean out the hoses...just put one end in the vaccume hose (not the mouthpiece end, obviously) and beat the hose on the counter to get all of the particles out, then use use it to start the hookah going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cymptom Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I would kinda like to have one of these -- I hate getting the hookah started. Puffing away on nothing but charcoals burning full blast is never fun. I love those smokes that cloud up to full thickness on the first pull... so satisfying...

jmexx Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 That has to be the most LAZY product I've ever heard of! Hookah lounges are supposed to start up every hookah and I guess these guys just use an automated way of doing it. The problem with that, though, is that the one who's preparing the hookah doesn't really taste it to see if it's properly made, too harsh, etc... At the lounge I go to, when they used to prepare the hookah for me (now I do it myself, I've gotten to know the workers/owner quite personally,) they would always make sure it was properly made and the best way to test it would be through starting the session for the client...

Macho555 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I'm not too sure about lazy, I can definatly see the benefits of being able to do it faster and more consistant, but I think you are right about them not being able to tell any problems with the smoke. I suppose it sounds interesting to play with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htdsngup Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 I think even if u are an expert in taste of shisha, after starting 100+ hookahs a day, u wouldnt be able to find a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joetuo Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Well it is not like they just stick it in the vacuum then bring it over. Once they think it is started they take like 1 maybe 2 hits to see how it is....at least at Guesshookah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAP Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I don't see what so so genius about this.You can buy small portable handheld battery powered vacuum cleaners. That's probably all it is.I used to use a vacuum to start my hookah up long ago but then stopped as I couldn't really be bothered with the hassle.
