Thanks guys! I'd like for it to have a lil thicker smoke, but I'm not sure on how to do that... Just to test it out, we're using Deja Vu shisha we got from our local shop, and some instant light coals... Not sure what else we could do to get some thicker smoke... Only things I could think of would be add more water and shorten the downstem to say 15in or 14in.. Right now it's at 18in

Well, I made a quick fix for the time being.... It's an old school GLASS water jug, smokes pretty good. Stands 36" tall and holds probably 3-4 gallons of smoke in the chamber! [IMG]http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b249/TrePaul86/2010/IMG_1515.jpg[/IMG]

The QT isn't bad, but it's only 14" tall or so. I'm looking for something 26-30" tall. And those 4 fit that category.... I figured the Tempest would have the strongest base being it has the most surface area touching the table....

Bump?

Any pics of your diffuser, Sherwood?

I know this is old, but i've used lots of small thinly sliced apples in the container over night. The natural sugars and juices leak out and seep into the tobacco reviving it. It worked amazing on a flavor we used before... The strongest one we've ever tried, which was cedar... Weird I know, but damn did it hit hard.

That's engineering right there! How's it setup? Pics?

I think I've got it down to about 4 hookahs... The Frost The Tempest The Imperial The cosmos (Acrylic) Now which of those 4 do you guys think is the best? And any tips on smoking from any of them or tricks you know would be great! Thanks again for everything guys.

And the tempest heart has 3 or 4 ports on it? That's sweet. The more I think about it, the more I like the tempest.... Any suggestions on setup or smoking with it? I think I'll buy it and grab up 2 extra adapters to turn it into a 3 hose hookah. But I really want to either buy the diffuser, or make one outta the hotel shampoo bottle like a few here have done. I've been smoking mine this whole time without one, so I'll know right away if it's worth anything.

How does changing the stem work with that Tempest?

So with the Tempest, I would need to buy 2 additional adapters to make that a 3 hose hookah? No changes to the stem? I like that one, I just wish it could have a ice chamber for cooler smoke! I wonder if one of the diffusers from HH would work with it? I like the diffuser idea for sure!

I think I looked at that one.... A glass one would be nicer I think. I'm going to fab up something to support the base on a table, so it can't rock around or fall off if we have a party. Ours was 27", and I think I want something bit taller, lil different design, and something with a case to travel around with it.

I'm really looking for a hookah that's at least 3 hoses, 27" or taller, and not really wanting to spend over $140 including shipping. I built one on HH that was a Persian 22" stem, with 3 hoses, ice chamber, 2 diffusers and an 11.5" base with 1-3/4" opening in the top... I also put in 2 extra stem adapters in case they aren't included, and with shipping came out to $145 I think, which is dead max what I wanna spend. Thanks guys.

Thanks guys! I'm working on a custom order from hookahhookah.com... If the one i'm bidding on, on ebay goes through in the next hour, I'm gonna order that one up on HH for 34" 3 hose with ice chamber and diffusers!

I use 1/2" clear vinyl hoses that I soaked in hot water for a long time. That really loosened them up.
