majoru Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 There was a very good idea on how to make a detachable diffuser recently. Hummingbird Diffuser It and a few other diffuser ideas are easily found by searching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizzyGuy Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Depends on how much clearance you have between the stem and the bottom of the base... The most successful diffuser that I've made has been with a platic hose tip. Just poke a ton of holes in it using heated metal and fit it on over the bottom of the stem... Or cheese cloth might work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineSolitude Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 anything that causes it to release lots of little bubbles instead of a few big bubble most successful ive heard have been to find a plastic pen cap that fits snuggly into your downstem, heat a paperclip with a lighter or candle or such, and poke holes all over it. i found when i did this it did quiet it down quite a bit... but i didnt like that. i like the sound of the bubbles. besides thats about all the diffuser does, doesnt really cool the smoke much (maybe a tad) or make it an smoother ive found.

shadow Posted December 10, 2006 Author Share Posted December 10, 2006 i have a good several inches of clearing between the stem and the bottom of the base... so that's not really an issue, however i haven't found anything yet that fits nicely into the stem. though i have yet to try a mouthpiece... i'll get on that real fast and respond with results asap...

ShishaFred Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Attempting a VERY ghetto diffuser right now. Foil with lots of holes wrapped around the end of the stem. I'd be suprised if it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeLipinski Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 if you go to HookahWiki you can find some useful information about diffusers and other things too. good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macho555 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 OOOOH, so my poor widdle hummingbird diffuser aint good enough eh??? :Sob:Seriously though, I think it works well enough. BUT I do have another diffuser, that does make things silent. I made the hummingbird one becasue it works and keeps it nice and bubbly. All I did was take a small piece of hose, and hot glue a chapstick cap onto the end. I then fitted the hose onto the stem, and superheated a needle, poking about 32 tiny holes throughout the hosing. It worked well enough but the silence was maddening after two sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shimshamsam Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 go to a flower shop, any kind of floruist will do, and pick up one of those plastic tubes they fill with water to put on the ends of roses and just get one, should cost you about a nickle, heat up a small nail or a tack and jab in a bunch of holes, and slide it on the end of your stem. or tape it on, should work good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azcoyote Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Back when i was into aquariums I made a diffuser for the aeration hose by covering the opening with a single layer of my gf's used sheer pantyhose. Formed a small sac and held in place with a rubber band, it made lots of tiny, tiny bubbles. Might work with a hookah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
