Rosebud Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Hey guys, new here.. I'm a student, been smoking cigarettes like Reds for a year and a half, and just over Christmas I got a hookah from a friend. I have two of these types, one is a short 11" and the other an 18" yet all parts above the base are interchangeable! Anyway, I'd like to smoke in the car. I took apart the top of the 18" and looks like I can cut a section of the middle tube out to reduce the height and still use the threaded top. Maybe use some high-temp silicone tube to seal it.Base: Mounted in sand in a wide base paint can or similarmidsection: hacked to be as short as possibleBOWL: regular with metal chimney... keep the coals in, or use:HEAT: a 12V soldering iron. Should be here early next week. Maybe hook it up to a set of rods inside the lid to spread the heat above the bowl..I figure, if I run an electric heat setup, I won't even need to change the water and bowl every time I smoke!I did a search and came up with some results, which is how I found this site. But I can't seem to find any custom car-hookah setups!! Only that crap joint electric co stuff. Anybody got some info or pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Right now, there is NO good electric set up. Everyone on here that smokes in the car uses coals. It sucks, but you gotta do what you gotta do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.cOLt.45. Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 just get a smaller hookah and buy the bowl that snaps shut so your coal doesnt fly out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lakemonster Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 At the risk of sounding preachy.....I dont advocate the use of hookah while driving.... nothing annoys me more than a person dedicating a hand to a non-essential task while driving. Cell phone users... woman applying makeup .... parents turning around and slapping at the kids.... people trying to eat... they all piss me off. How many of you have almost gotten into a wreck with one of these jack-asses? Do we really want to add the "hose jockey" to the list of offenders?Dont get me wrong..... I smoke hookah in my truck.... but Im parked with the engine off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 make sure to post up pics when you get this done I'm very interested in how this would work. I've been thinking about doing something like that for a while, just those charcoals are really worrying to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosebud Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 Hi guys,Here's the latest progress. I got the 12V soldering iron in the mail and took it apart today. The heating element is 2" long and the iron tip goes in almost all the way. I have two idea on how to make this work:1. Use a much longer but same diameter shaft as the iron tip and have it go in a helix inside a hookah bowl wind cover.2. Connect the soldering iron tip directly to the wind cover or the bowl screen (metal screen) so that it heats the tobacco without coals.3. Use some sort of setup with parallel steel tubes, to cover more area for heating yet still heat up very fast, make it look like a rake sort of thing.Any ideas?

Rosebud Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 And btw, I smoke cigarettes when I drive. So smoking a hassle-free hookah would be safer, cause you can put it down and it won't fly back in through your back window, burning a hole in your favorite sweater... Mounting in car: I was thinking of using a big pan with some sand and the hookah inside... but making a clip/mount would be a lot better. I am working another night shift tonight so I have a lot of time to think stuff over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cymptom Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I'm with Lake on this... it's just a bad idea -- irresponsible and beyond rude to anyone who's on the road with you. It's annoying (and angering -- driving is no game, nothing to f*** around with) to see other drivers "dedicating a hand to a non-essential task" while behind the wheel. Hookah in the car is 10x worse than any of the annoyances Lake listed, just because of the awkwardness of the contraption, the maintenance involved, the potential cause for panic and distraction if something should happen with the coals. The road is not your home -- what you do there can have detrimental effects to others' lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't DRIVE usually, and the couple times I've smoked and driven, there is a passenger dedicated to holding the hookah and tending to the coals. I don't want you guys to think I'm some kind of douche or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymptom Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Hey, I wasn't trying to cast judgment on anybody... I'm just commenting on the idea of hookah smoking while driving. Didn't mean to come off as accusatory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
