YaHookah! The computer you can smoke

Step 6The reservoir

The reservoir
 I made an acrylic box, also with 30+ year old acrylic but of 3/4".  The box is 5.75" tall, 6" deep, and a little over 12" long, the size fills up most of the remaining space inside the case.  The reservoir was glued together using JB Weld acrylic glue, and clamped together overnight.  The lid is a separate piece of acrylic that sits on top.  I drilled a hole in each corner of the lid, and down through the sidewalls of the box.  I used some self tapping screws to keep the lid clamped down.  

The white PVC tube is half inch in diameter, and is part of the "down stem" portion of the hookah.  A hose is connected to the top of it, which connects to the other tubing that eventually goes out to the bowl.  I found those braided water line hoses fit here perfectly after cutting off the metal ends.  The hose also allows the bowl to travel when the cd drive is opened with it's slack.  The downstem I mentioned goes down into the water to cool the smoke that travels from the ceramic bowl piece.  

I also drilled (2) 1/4" holes in the lid of my box for the air tubing from the aquarium pump for the bubble stones.  A forth hole was drilled, for a rubber hose that is NOT submerged all the way into the water, which is where the smoke is inhaled.  I found the ex-home to the front USB ports to be a good place to run the hose out to.
