shishboarder Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 a hookah works essentially by drawing the smoke from the heated tobacco down throught the tube into the water the as you inhale it goes into two (sometimes four) little holes at the base of the heart and into the hose and lungs. thats just a quick description, im sure pretty soon someone with some more technical knowledge will learn you something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imagelessdude Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 (edited) Bowl on top, filled with tobac. and topped with foil [with holes poked in it] & coal on top. Bowl is connected to a pipe that runs under water. A hose draws air from above the water [this all should be airtight] and the pull causes heated air to be drawn over the coal and through the foil, heating and steaming the tobac., and that smoke goes down the pipe and bubbles through the water. When the bubbles pop, the cooled and filtered smoke it released and is drawn into the hose. Yummy. This should help: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hookah Edited February 25, 2007 by imagelessdude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SafeSearchOff Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 bottles depend on the materials your using and how youll be plugging it... I know people generally use glass Arizona Iced Tea bottles or any large glass bottle like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
