NoPeace Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 (edited) I was thinking of trying to make a stand that holds my hookah to the elevated area on the floor of the back seats. The part right infront of the air conditioning vents if anyone knows what I'm talking about.I was thinking of making a box where there is a hole cut out that will support the base so it won't wobble or fall over. I was also thinking of making a metal frame type thing that could stick to the bowl that would hold quick light coals. Maybe take some maleable metal and bend it so that its acts like a kinda carriage that holds it. I'm not sure.I just wanted to know if anyone has done something to make it so they can smoke hookah in the car or if anyone has any ideas pertaining to my design concept.

Elky Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I was thinking of doing somehitng like this for road trips and the best I could come up with was using something like this in a cup holder.(note: the link I tried to post didnt work but it was a hookah stem and bowl setup that mounts on just about any bottle you might have laying around, called "The Witch" found at thehookah.com)I havent tried one of these and it might not be the best smoke out there but with the right modificatoin it should get the job done.

Geiseric Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 QUOTE I have that bowl, and it sucks ass......It does tend to pick up flavor pretty quick, and its fairly shallow, making a good smoke hard to get, but it has saved my carpet quite a few times. I can think of 4 or 5 times in the last month when I've been using it in a room with carpet or a car when the coals would have landed in my lap or on the floor. The production quality it pretty low though, I have had a few of them, and in one the metal was so warped that it was essentially unusable. Not to mention that the little vented plate that comes with it lets way too much heat through, so its better to just use foil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOneNonlyTK Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I made a box with a hole cut out to hold the base steady and it worked pretty well... the only proplems are the coals i just add a little extra lip around the top of my bowl and it holds the coals from sliding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geiseric Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 It is unusual, come to think of it, that the combo bowl is the only wind cover that I have ever come across that latches, essentially becoming a safety bowl. One would assume they would have at least a little competition in the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdl Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Smoking hookah in the car just doesn't seem like a bright idea to me. Maybe I give too much of an ish about my interior. I have a hard enough time keeping coals off my carpet at home let alone the carpet, dash, and center console in my car. It also seems like a huge distraction to me. Different strokes.

I haven't even remotely come close to dropping a coal on anythingMy biggest problem would be what to tell the officer when you are pulled over. First off, it it is going good, you will look like something out of Cheech and Chong. Then try to explain that it is just tobacco and fruit. I think this would make a very long night. Not to mention, ashing the coals while driving would be a bit of a bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accidents happen and drunken carelessness doesn't help either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PirateNinja415 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 when i'm smoking by myself i don't have any problems w/dropping coals, but when i have people over, they tend to bump the hookah or yank out the hose, causing the coals to fall out. ive put some decent sized holes in my dorm floor from clumbsy ass friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geiseric Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Some hookahs are inherently tippy, hand made hookahs can have uneven bases, my syrian does. This combined with useing longer hoses that can get tangled in legs is asking for disaster, and in a moving vehicles, it is inevitable that there will be spills.
