Whiteshadow Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I believe the technology is out there to create a bowl/attachment that is self heating, aka no coalswhy hasnt someone come out with a heating element for hookahs that you can like... plug into a wall. I know it might not be convenient for those who like to smoke outdoors, but coals aren't really the greatest for the indoor crowd either.someone modify a soldering iron and get back to me, i have monies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've ran through a couple ideas and contraptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoddi Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Wow glad to see we're all thinking the same thing. I tried as well to create a contraption. I tried using heat bulbs but they weren't hot enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried as well to create a contraption. I tried using heat bulbs but they weren't hot enough.I've tried some stuff too, mostly with the heating elements you put in mugs to warm up coffee (it's a specific thing). Although the ultimate would be a heating element up top and a cooling rig for the water, like a refridgeration unit. It would be the world's most advanced hookah!

ZAP Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I've been using a heat gun for a while.I don't use it for the entire session. I use it to light my natural coals and kick-start the bowl off. I just hold it above the foil and take a few hard puffs and I get instant clouds within seconds.I remember once when I couldn't be bothered lighting the coals I tried to use it as a permanent sourse of heat so I placed a windcover and slotted the end of the heat gun in the hole at the top. After a few minutes I could smell something burning so I removed the windcover and saw that the gloss off my Tangiers had melted and I could see little black blobs of liquid all over it.Maybe it wouldn't have heated up so much if I didn't put the wind cover on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
