Stealth Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 This is the Ikookah. It's a hookah I made a few years ago. The base is a large Vase from Ikea. I put my stargate next to give you an idea of the size. As you can see it is large enough to even fit one of my smaller hookahs inside. The top is made out of some pvc pipe parts. Originally it was even bigger but I shortened it to make it more manageable. As you can see its pretty easy to add more hoses and can be customized. The stem is made out of copper, which is perfectly safe (sorry brass fan-boys.) As you can see it splits near the bottom for diffusion, and holes are added for even more diffusion.The smoke is great, and very cool. That's about it I guess, just thought I'd share it with you all.

john_smith Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Looks very nice, but also really unstable. How do you keep it propped up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you keep it propped up?I'm guesssing you think the bottom is fully rounded. Ikea wouldn't sell something like that.......(Would they?). Anyways it probably has a flattened bottom so it's stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I donno, picture 2 sure looks fully rounded to ME.It's a nice bit o work though, I'll give it that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how does that vase defy gravity. Lol, of course it has a flat bottom, the piture is just with a wierd angle and light refraction and whatnot. On a hard flat surface there is no problems.

RayVer Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 is it hard to suck?? looks like the water level is real high from the bottom of the custom stem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oolatec Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Hmmm... makes me wonder how drilling a few small holes on the bottom of a stem would work on a "regular" hookah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olooko Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 looks pretty cool it looks like giant round bottom flask that we use in chem labs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbles follow the path of least resistance. If you plugged the end and drilled holes, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbles follow the path of least resistance. If you plugged the end and drilled holes, yes.Actually it would work. The design is made to slightly diffuse without effecting the pull. The path of least resistance is the smaller holes on the top. as you can see the holes spiral down so the harder the hit you take, the air escapes from lower down. The bottem is left uncapped so that if you got two or more people on it and they want to take a really massive hit they can withit a poorly designed diffuser to slow them down.

Bubbles follow the path of least resistance. If you plugged the end and drilled holes, yes.not necessarily true. just as with electricity, bubbles do, yes "take the path of least resistance". however, as is also true with electricity, its like 85% that takes the path of least resistance, because then the other path has less resistance.

I'm assuming because the holes create new paths of least resistance. Edited March 6, 2008 by neel620 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
