jayok6 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Built my first hookah from a pickle jar, an aluminum budweiser bottle, refrigerator tubing, vinyl tubing and hot glue.The hot glue is only used at where the bottle connects to the pickle jar which will be far away enough from the heat source so that it doesn't create any fumes. I will be smoking from it in a few hours, I will post back the results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayok6 Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 I am not a seasoned smoker. I have only smoked hookahs at hookah bars and this smoked just like any other experience i have had. Smoked white grape and it had a hint of pickle at first The pickle taste wore off pretty quick. Very impressed with my DIY hookah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgore Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 DAMN, that actually looks legit. Where do you pack your tobacco though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) Looks like its on top of the bottle where the holes are. Edited August 31, 2009 by Twisted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeperhit Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 But that would mean i would have to buy Budweiser....And i'm not doing that.....Otherwise a good find man! nice job there.Let us know how it smokes and if in fact that glue was far enough.

In my opinion it was fantastic, right up there with any experience I have had at a bar. I really enjoyed it. The bottom of the bottle is concave but not really all that deep so the tobacco created a mound. After I covered the tobacco with foil I then had to wrap a strip of foil around the top so the coal wouldn't slide off the top. The glue was far enough away that it didn't get even close to getting warm much less hot. I could touch the middle of the bottle with my hands and it was warm to the touch but not hot. The top of the pickle jar remained at close to room temperature. And no, i normally wouldn't purchase budweiser either, i bought it to use it as a stem. Of course I drank the crappy beer though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff_T Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Nice DIY project, glad to hear it's working out well. Is the refrigerator tubing just in the bottom of the Budweiser bottle? I'd also like to see some smoking/cloud pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the refrigerator tubing just in the bottom of the Budweiser bottle? I'd also like to see some smoking/cloud picsYeah, the refrigerator tubing is basically hot glued into the pickle jar lid with about 2 inches protruding from the top of the lid. I then slid the opening of the beer bottle over the tube and then sealed the lip of the bottle to the top of the jar using hot glue. I am going to bust it out in a day or two and have the wife take pics. Would have had her take pics last night but she was already in bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(or rather a stem made from glass bottles.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newjacksm Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 (edited) I dont want the one to scream witch!/call anyone out but that looks like it was built to smoke NHT not shisha.. I have no clue how you can smoke shisha out of there. Edited September 12, 2009 by newjacksm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratchy Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 And why would that be?Shisha goes on the top, smoke goes down the Budweiser can into the pickle jar and get's pulled out out of the jar by the tubing. Looks legit to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black_Mamba Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Me and my friends made a hookah very similar to this last night. Except we used a mason jar with a copper stem. It worked fairly well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
