DIY Hookah Hose

This is a super easy mod for a Hookah Hose.

If your not new to Hookah, you know your hoses will give out, rust, and need replacing. You can pop another $10-$24 for a hose, or you can salvage parts from your hose to make a new one. Your new hose will be 100% washable, plus you'll have the ability to watch the smoke get drawn thru the hose (kool side effect).

Step 1 What you need

First you need some supplies:

A length of tubing (more on the tubing later: step 3)
Razor blade
Microwave safe glass
Water
End tips from old Hookah hose

you should have an Instructable for making a single hose hole to a dual hose hole, so two people at a time

i will in time, i just need to get some orders done for Biosmoke then ill do it. im new to this site so ill get to kno it first and then ill put one up to turn a single into a multiple hose

[gadget613]

or u can do what i did and turned a 4 hose hookah into a 8 hose

It's not as simple as a splitter... more like a splitter and a one-way valve for each hose, so you don't end up sucking air in from the other hose...

Ive done this before, but i stepped it up a notch, i put lights in it. i didnt stop there, i made a gas mask for hookah, the ppl here loved it so much i started a business called Biosmoke custom hookah gear. but i am running out of customers here because pretty much everyone has one now that smokes hookah. heres a pic tell me what u think

you should watch out cause the heat of the smoke or whatveer could cause plastic fumes to release into your sweet sweet lungs.

[XkidXhavocX]

the smoke goes through a water bubbler to cool the smoke down for a softer hit... so no plastic fumes... maybe just a little plastic taste for the first few uses....

the 'smoke' from the hooka is room temperature by the time it hits the hose. Its more of a vaporizer system anyways. The charcoal heats the molasses tobacco and causes it to vaporize. If it gets hot enough to burn the tobacco, the taste is terrible and you move the coal or break it in half.

what is a hookah hose, like a big cigg?

[The Mollusk]

A hooka is kinda like a bong with hoses.

if you've tried more then one hose for extended periods of time, you'll know that the two ingredients that make you miss the full flavor are the hose and the type of charcoal a good hose has a short break in period, this one will NEVER break in the best ones are the ones made with some cardboard in their mix, but you can't wash them

Awesome!!! The rexine hoses always caused problems after a few months of use... i'll try doin this... should rock!!!!

[armourkris]

I've dis the same thing to make a new hose for my hookah a few years ago, only i used surgical tubing

[Self-Serving Martyr]

What could I use for end tips if I do not already own a hookah? I'm thinking of making one for a friend.

[jongscx]

...I'd think just about anything you can suck through... then build up a handle with duct tape?

lol for the people who are looking to buy their own hoses, i get mine at http://www.blowos.com

Hmm, I have an old Hookah in the closet with very dirty hoses and mouthpieces. I might try this out, Thanks.

Sometimes, it all depends on the material the hose is made out of - one of mine still smells slightly after 6 uses, but the other one is fine and I bought it for .79 per foot. There is a material called Tygon, used for computer cooling systems, it's ultra bendable, but it costs a fortune.

"food-safe" hose can still be gross and plastickey. The best hose I've seen was beer line hose from a homebrew shop. It's around the same price as hardware store hose, too.
