i wonder why it wont work with the QT.


Probably too long for the small base.



could be, but i have a couple QT's and the have different sized stems. i could prolly still use one. im thinking about ordering one, and if it doesnt work on the QT's i have, i'll use it with my other one.

yeah.. this is yet another thing that I want from them...

I wonder, will this affect the draw at all?


yea i wonder to .. by the looks of this im pretty sure you can come up with your own rig .. like put a coffee filter at the end of the stem or some very small wire mesh

There's lots of ways you can make your own. Take something like a balloon or pen cap that fits the end of your hookah and poke lots of holes in it with a hot needle. It works just as well.

Draw will be affected but not by a lot.

I used the widget from the insde of a guiness beer can and I melted the holes into the entire bottom section of the widget. After all that I made a hole to attach to the stem with a drill that was slightly smaller and heated the tube and pushed it into the hole for an air tight fit. I havent noticed a more difficult draw at all. But the benefits are the water isnt disturbed eneugh to rise high in the hookah like normal and less rumbling sound against the floor/table.

Here are some pictures:

I'd say rubber band a piece of sheer cloth from the walmart scrap bin, or maybe one of those golf sized wiffle balls... i'll post my results as soon as my hookah arrives

ps, never seen the widgit from a guiness can... just the bottle, ya know... the bullet shaped ones.

wiffle balls are too big to fit into the bowl... at least for all of my hookahs... whats to stop me from just putting some mesh flush with the bottom of the down stem? i feel like that would break the bubbles up the best while leaving the best open flow to reduce drag. i have some at home, just keep forgetting to put some on...

The bubbles would reform after passing through the mesh. It's like cutting a bubble in half... you can't; it just reforms around the knife.

They have been selling them for a while, but they ran out.

I've been using one for a while and I like it. Personally I dont think that it affects the draw too much. I keep using it because it makes the hookah quieter.

On my hookah there is basically a nut on the bottom of the stem. The small one barely fits. I would imagine that either that is why they say that it cant work with some hookahs or the stem might be too long.

If you want to learn more do a search there has been mutable threads about the herbas and homemade diffusers.

I have a nut on the bottom of my stem too, so I just put the top rubber fitter in some hot water and put it on, I never take it off, just the bottom part when I want to clean it.



Hmmm... never take it off? I'll have to think about that... that might not be a bad idea. I'll try it.
