hops523 Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Does anyone have or no how to make a homemade hookah? Something where I dont need a real bowl or anything? I have seen homemade hookahs where some people have made it just out of a simple sprite bottle. Does anyone know how I can do this? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hops523 Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share Posted October 22, 2006 Wow thanks for the quick reply. Not really its just the only way to hookah around here is either going to the hookah bar, or buying one online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The search engine won't find it but I know the thread is out there someplace... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hops523 Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 Sorry I am a little bit of a newbie to the hookah, but I was reading the link of the first reply, and it was pretty much sayin that it was used for smoking cigarettes, which I dont want to do. How would this work if I did not want to smoke a cigarette? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hops523 Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 And what if I have none of the flavors or anything like that? Is there anything else I could use? I am really confused about how this works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malakas Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 ahh sorry about that, didn't realize that. [url="http://www.thehookahguy.net/"]http://www.thehookahguy.net/[/url] Try that? I suppose you could try making your own....but making smokeable, much less, making tasty shisha is an art in its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hops523 Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 Here is some of the stuff that I can think of that I have right now with me. A 24 oz gatorade bottle, a long tin plastic tubing, I am trying to think of what else I could use. What are the stores you are thinking of? and where are you located? I might have figured it out. I just found this thing in my basement, I think its a candle holder/stand. Doesnt it sort of look like it was meant to hookah? Any ideas on how to make this into a hookah?

bigmahlman Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 well theat right there might work realy great for a rigged up stem. you will have to find a bowl and use that gatoride bottle as a base it works very well. cut a hole in the gatoraid bottle for the hozing you have and glue/ducktape it on. i would put it within the top quarter of the bottle somewear. you would also have to extend the piping that is in that glass piece i hope that metal thing inside is hollow. um... making a bowl isnt that hard, or they are realy cheep. and if you dont do that, send me that thing becase i wana try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hops523 Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 Ok I think I got it kinda. The only thing I dont get is where to put the hosing, and the whole cutting and ducktaping it.Arent there suppose to be like a valve and then the hose on the other side? The metal in the glass piece is not hollow, but I think that I can remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmahlman Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 hmm.. well it still could be intresting. let me think about the parts youll need, ill drawl up somthing and figure out how to lget it up on the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
