How to smoke a hookah at home

In order to smoke an electronic or regular hookah, you need to fill it correctly and calculate everything very accurately, starting from the volume of water and the degree of humidity of the tobacco itself and ending with the amount of coal needed for kindling.

The whole process boils down to the following steps:

  1. Hookah should be thoroughly rinsed and then pour water into the flask.
  2. Attach the shaft to the flask. The tube should be immersed in the liquid by a maximum of four centimeters.
  3. Put the coal on the stove and hold until about a third of the flame turns orange.
  4. Pour tobacco into the bowl and loosen it.
  5. Cover the bowl filled with tobacco with foil with small holes made with an ordinary toothpick.
  6. To keep the heat longer, additionally make a small rim of foil.
  7. Now put coal in the bowl, cover with a cap or plain foil for a few minutes.
  8. After this time, move the coals to the edges.
  9. You can start smoking.

In order to smoke an electronic or regular hookah, you need to calculate everything very accurately

If the hookah stretches well and is not bitter, then everything was done correctly.

How to make homemade hookah tobacco with your own hands

Tobacco does not have to be purchased ready-made. Much cheaper than making your own.

To do this, prepare the following components:

  • 50 g of tobacco;
  • a couple of vials of glycerin;
  • essential oil;
  • syrup.

Tobacco does not have to be purchased ready-made.

Cooking progress:

  1. Put two-thirds of all the necessary tobacco into a container and pour boiling water over it.
  2. Strain the water with a fine colander.
  3. Dry the steamed tobacco by laying it out on a baking sheet and placing it in an oven preheated to seventy degrees for ten minutes.
  4. Mix raw tobacco with dried.
  5. Add glycerin and about ten drops of essential oil to the composition.
  6. Thoroughly mix this mixture and pour molasses into it.
  7. When the mixture resembles thick jam in its consistency, it must be poured into a suitable container and hermetically sealed.

Infuse the tobacco mixture for a week.

How to hammer a hookah correctly so that there is no bitterness

Often smoking a hookah does not bring pleasure due to the appearance of unpleasant bitterness. It can arise for a number of reasons. Chief among them is poor equipment. Before use, you need to pay attention to the size of the bowl, the quality of the hose and many other details that can affect the final result.

In addition, you should properly care for the device, regularly rinse it under running water, and clean the shaft with a brush. With it, you can easily remove carbon deposits and sediment from stainless steel, which gradually accumulate and give a characteristic bitterness.

When buying, you should clarify whether the narguile is resistant to detergent. Some do not withstand even weak chemical compositions.

The cause of bitterness can also be excessive heat aimed at tobacco. To correct the situation in this case, it is enough just to remove excess coals from the bowl, blow on the tobacco mixture and let it cool a little.

The cause of a bitter aftertaste can be:

  • lack of skills in smoking narghile;
  • downtime of the device during the rest of smokers;
  • touch of tobacco on the foil;
  • excessive heat;
  • improperly washed device.

Those who love a quality hookah know how expensive it is to smoke it somewhere in a restaurant and therefore want to have their own hookah at home. Someone brings them as a souvenir from Turkey or Egypt, where "shisha" is very, very popular.

However, all these hookahs have one fat minus: they are bulky and extremely inconvenient to take with you on a picnic or bring home to a friend. There is a solution - to make your own neat folding hookah from an IKEA glass jar - just like my friends from banka lab do them! This is what we will do today.

1. We will start by making a hole in the lid. The bowl will be inserted there (the bowl and silicone gasket under it are freely sold in any hookah store, as well as all other spare parts)


2. The contour is ready and you can start drilling

3. Glass is drilled with a special diamond head of the required diameter

4. The process is quite long, but there is no hurry here - we need a perfect hole, without chips.

5. On the side of our jar there will be two more holes - for the tube and for the valve.

6. The big picture is starting to emerge

7. There will be a valve

10. After drilling, the holes are ground using a drill with a special nozzle

11. Lid with bowl gasket

12. When drilling glass, you need to take precautions - in addition to glasses, a mask is also desirable, because we shouldn’t breathe glass dust, right? The presence of a beard is not required, but highly recommended!

13. Next, cut off the glass tubes - two short ones of different diameters for the valve (we will insert them into each other) and two long ones - for the mouthpiece and shaft. High-quality Czech borosilicate glass from Simax, a manufacturer of high-end laboratory glassware, is used here.

14. When sawing glass, it is poured with water. So it does not heat up and does not scatter dust so much

15. In the tube that will descend from the bowl into the water, we make holes - this is how we get a diffuser that will help cool the smoke and reduce vibrations. In addition, with a diffuser, the hookah will stretch better.

17. In addition to holes, we also make such notches

18. For the valve, we need two small glass tubes and a glass ball. And, of course, pads

19. Valve assembled

21. Almost done. The tubing is medical grade silicone. You can also buy a ready-made hose in the store

22. The guys from banka lab experimented for a long time with the necessary sizes, proportions and design options. Now they have several different options that have proven themselves well.

23. After the jar is ready, it is necessary to test =)

24. Smokes great, the valve works properly. So it's all right.

More recently, the hookah, which came to us from the East, has today become an integral part of conversation, friendly meetings, feasts, and even part of making business decisions. Nowadays, smoking a hookah is fashionable, prestigious, and just a good opportunity to have a good time in a company. That is why this trend has long moved from restaurants and cafes to ordinary homes. Smoking hookah in a homely atmosphere alone or with friends has become quite affordable. True, you will have to pay a significant amount for the device itself, but what prevents you from making a hookah at home with your own hands? How to do this, and will be this article.

What is a hookah made of? What analogues can be found at home?

The main part of any hookah is a flask. At home, an old metal teapot that has already served its purpose can play such a role. The next element of a homemade hookah is a hose. Here it is quite possible to use a hose from the shower. There should be no mechanical damage in these two main components of the hookah, otherwise the smoke will go badly, being diluted with air. In this case, even a properly made hookah will create a sharp taste in the mouth.


The shaft of a homemade hookah must be made of the right material and in compliance with a certain size (the hookah should be from 50 to 70 cm). The fact is that in the process of smoking, moisture (condensate) accumulates in the mine, which in the future can lead to corrosion. In hookahs up to 50 cm, sometimes the smoke does not have time to cool, and when smoking, bitterness may occur. If the flask is too high (about 80 cm), it is quite difficult to draw in smoke. Therefore, we consider the optimal size from 50 to 70 cm.

«>

As a handy replacement for other spare parts, we take an unnecessary burner, a sink damper and a small iron tube of small diameter. And of course, do not forget about the foil.

How to make a hookah at home - a guide

First, pour the filling drink into the flask so that the liquid covers the container by 2-4 cm. You can use ordinary water, milk, juice, wine, cognac. The drink should be kept in the refrigerator first. It is not recommended to pour a large amount of liquid, it can adversely affect the hookah's traction.

Next, prepare the tobacco for smoking. You can simply heat a cube of tobacco over an open fire (use special tongs for safety), or you can crush two-thirds of the tobacco into a cup. Tobacco should not be crushed too much into the bowl.

After that, cover the tobacco with thick foil. Additionally, cover the cup with foil on all sides. If you did not use special perforated, but ordinary foil, then it is worth making several holes on it with a toothpick or a needle.

What kind of coal is best for a homemade hookah?

There are many types of coal that are suitable for hookah, for example:

  • coconut;
  • classic (set on fire over an open fire);
  • quick ignition coal (ignited with a conventional lighter).

For a home hookah, it is often not recommended to use quick-ignition charcoal, as it may contain various harmful impurities. Indoors, acrid smoke will cause headaches. The main feature of such coal is that it is covered with a film of saltpeter, which flares up immediately upon contact with fire.

The classic version (also called clean coal) will be safer at home. It gives an even heat and smolders for about 90 minutes. This type of fuel is ignited without much effort on a gas stove, after which it is transferred to the foil using tongs.

Home Hookah: Collecting Mine

The most difficult thing in this business is the collection of a hookah mine. This will require:

  1. Tightly connect the steel pipe and burner. It is most convenient to do this in this way: bend one end of the pipe into a cone and hammer it into a tile burner with a hammer. The whole structure must be strong enough.
  2. Next, in the lid of the teapot, you need to drill a hole that is suitable in size for the tube. To make the fixation as good as possible, provide the pipe with small grooves.
  3. Now we lower the tube into the teapot, the upper connection must be soldered. Open the lid and solder our structure from below. Soldering points should be well cleaned. The mine is ready.

Home hookah: connecting the hose

Next, you can move on to the hose. From the spout of the teapot, you need to cut off such a piece so that the hole of the remaining part fits the diameter of the hose - this is necessary for the tightness of the connection. Now the hose does not need to be placed much into the spout of the teapot and wrapped with electrical tape. Then the lid and the entire teapot are sealed with foil, and a funnel must be made from it, which will be placed in the burner. We install a mesh for the washbasin on the burner. We made a hookah with our own hands, you can try it in action.

Of course, such manipulations will require time and some effort, but the result will be a reliable device.

However, there are options for a do-it-yourself hookah that will save a lot of time and do not require so much effort.

Homemade hookah from a bottle - strictly and economically

How to make a hookah from a bottle? This will require:

  • in fact, the plastic bottle itself is 1.5-2 liters;
  • aluminum tube;
  • plastic straw for drinks;
  • can;
  • knife and foil.

This version of your own homemade hookah is quite simple and economical. How to make a hookah from a bottle? Manufacturing technology is as follows:

  1. We make three holes in a plastic bottle, it is desirable that two of them are located close to each other, and the third hole is parallel to them.
  2. After that, we cut holes at the bottom of the jar with a knife, and on the opposite side we make a large hole. The cork that is used as a seal must also be with a hole.
  3. After the aluminum tube placed inside the bottle is filled with water, the entire structure is tightly twisted with a cork.
  4. We insert tubes into a couple of holes in the bottle, fix the tin can. The third of the holes also needs to be closed.
  5. Pour tobacco into the jar, cover everything with foil with pierced holes on top.
  6. We put coals on top.

What else to build a hookah? Have you tried grapefruit?

What can a hookah be made of? You can also make a little-known, but attractive citrus hookah with its uniqueness. In order to create such a unit at home, purchase any grapefruit. In terms of its parameters, it should be similar to the size of the neck of the container from which you are going to smoke. You can make a hookah with your own hands like this:

  1. Cut the cap off the citrus.
  2. Insert it into a vessel filled with hookah liquid, while the fruit should fit snugly against the walls of the selected container.
  3. You should make a recess in the vessel for tobacco.
  4. After that, you need to cover the cut out part with toothpicks, overlaying them with a grid.
  5. Exactly to the brim fill this cavity with tobacco.
  6. Next, pierce the fruit with a tube so that it enters the liquid by 1-2 centimeters.
  7. Pierce the fruit from the side so that the holes do not intersect. This hole is needed for the second tube. Insert it.
  8. Fold the foil in several layers and lay shiny side up.
  9. Wrap the fruit tightly in foil.
  10. Punch the foil with small holes around the perimeter.
  11. Now it's time to spread the pre-cooked hot coal on the edges of the foil.
  12. Hookah can be smoked.

Home hookah care

After smoking, each part of the device should be carefully rinsed. Hoses should be left to dry, and the shaft and flask should be ventilated to avoid unpleasant odors that may remain after smoking. After that, you can assemble the hookah back and check whether everything is securely and firmly connected.


So, now it is not necessary to go to a special institution or restaurant to feel all the delights of hookah smoking. You can easily make a hookah with your own hands at home, create a cozy atmosphere in the company of friends and surprise everyone with your skills.

Many nightclubs and entertainment venues have hookah rooms with a cozy atmosphere. If you decide to recreate such a corner in your home, it will be useful for you to learn how to make a hookah so that you get thick smoke and a pleasant taste without bitterness. Our instructions provide information for hookah beginners.

First, let's find out what kind of hookah design, this knowledge will be useful in further manipulations. It consists of a flask, a shaft, a hookah bowl (chilim) and hoses (or a single hose). In addition, for this venture, you need to stock up on consumables, and these are foil, hookah coal and tobacco. To care for the structure, you will need a special brush and citric acid. And now let's talk directly about the preparation of hookah.

The whole ritual begins with filling the flask with liquid.
You can use ordinary water, juices, milk. However, in the latter case, you will have to pay great attention to cleaning the hookah, otherwise you will get a rotten smell when smoking. When pouring water, make sure that there is enough space in the chilim for steam to form. The end of the rod is immersed in water by about 2-4 centimeters. This is very important, as excessive immersion of the pipe will prevent the hookah from smoking. It is also fraught with the fact that liquid can get into the hose. If it is not placed deep enough, the smoke will be hot when it reaches the throat. To make the steam more fragrant, it is customary to add a little wine, juice or fruit essence to the water. Remember that it is not recommended to add strong drinks (Scotch, absinthe, cognac), as the result is difficult to predict.

The next step is to check the tightness of the structure. Most of them are sold with a gasket connecting the flask and shaft, which is made of plastic or rubber. They are highly sealed. But if there is a problem with this, it is recommended to use electrical tape. It's not exactly aesthetically pleasing though. After that, you can place the saucer on the hookah. It is necessary for placing coals, protecting the flooring from falling ash. It is also convenient to lay tongs on it. A bowl is placed on it.

Insert the hose into a special port, with a less beautiful end. In case of insufficient tightness, it is recommended to use appropriate gaskets. If your hookah has more than one hose, but you usually use only one, then close the second hole with a rubber stopper.



The most important step is filling the bowl with tobacco. Mix the leaves well so that they are covered with syrup and molasses. Features of styling depend on your preferences. The classic version is as follows: carefully sort out the tobacco, select and tear off too large leaves, fluff the remaining tobacco and place loosely in the bowl, there should be a lot of air in the mixture. Compressing is highly undesirable, as well as clogging the entire bowl with tobacco. On the contrary, it should not stick to the foil, for this it is recommended to leave about 2 millimeters to the foil. It is good if you pierce the stacked mass with a needle so that air is better supplied to the smoldering tobacco. So it will be easier for you to pull the hookah.

Now you can cover the tobacco with aluminum foil. Its size should be 5 centimeters larger than the diameter of the bowl. You can place it on either side, it doesn't matter. After placing the foil, wrap it around the bowl so as to create tension, but do not press it, it should not compress the tobacco. Thick foil is, of course, good, it will be easier to regulate heat, but remember that it cannot be folded, one layer will be enough. Fold the thin foil several times. However, there should not be too many layers, 1-3 is just right.



At this stage, we make holes in the foil. To do this, we use an ordinary needle or pin. But the toothpicks are thicker, put them aside. For a classic Egyptian bowl, this pattern of holes is best suited: a circle around the edge of the bowl and a spiral inside. If your bowl is funnel-shaped, make three concentric rings. Remember that many holes do not contribute to the release of a lot of smoke. To do this, you need to achieve a balance between tobacco, coals and holes.

It's time to light the coals. For this purpose, matches are used, giving a big fire to a fireplace or hookah lighter. An ordinary pocket will not work, as you can burn your fingers. It is convenient to hold the coals with special tongs. Then we proceed as follows: we light a fire, bring it to the coal, hold it for several minutes, wait for the coal to burn (at the same time it sparkles and emits acrid smoke), when the coal becomes gray on top and red inside - we put it on a tobacco bowl. See that the charcoal is red. If it is black, do not try to inflate it on the spot, nothing good will happen, at best an unpleasant smell is guaranteed, and at worst - carbon monoxide poisoning. It is not recommended to light the charcoal over the bowl, otherwise the particles from it will get into the tobacco and change its taste. If you use natural charcoal, say pressed coconut charcoal, then keep in mind that it is customary to light it on a gas burner. In the case of a ceramic or glass plate, cracking is possible.



Wait for the bowl to heat up. Then you can move the coals to the edge to avoid burning tobacco and emitting acrid smoke. To smoke a hookah, you have to take 5-10 breaths. But it's impossible to smoke with one puff. You need to pull slowly, and not jerkily, the tobacco should not bounce. But it is recommended to take strong breaths. When a pleasant steam comes out, and the puffs become full of smoke, the hookah is ready to drink. It is customary to smoke a hookah with a clay bowl for 30-40 minutes. With single smoking, you can stretch for an hour. If the hookah is made from fruit, then 50 minutes.

Quite often when smoking there are some unpleasant moments:

  • Sore throat and bitter taste. This happens due to leaky joints, especially the place where the hose is connected. It is also recommended to check the coals, suddenly they touch tobacco.
  • If you have to make a lot of effort when inhaling, then you should pay attention to the water level. Remember that the tube must be immersed by a maximum of 5 cm.

Caring for a hookah is not very difficult. Tobacco is thrown away immediately after the bowl has cooled. It is recommended to change the water when you change the tobacco variety. However, at least once every 10 smokes. In this case, you need to thoroughly rinse the flask. For such a case, it is good to use a brush. The upper part of the structure is washed every 10-15 smokes. After the bowl cools down, the tobacco is discarded. Remember that detergents are not suitable for hookah care. But it is better to wash the hoses rarely, while leather products are not washed at all. After washing, wipe the structure to avoid oxidation.

That's almost all. Store the hookah after disassembling it. But if you want it to show off assembled on your shelf, at least remove the hoses. This is due to the fact that their frame is made of a metal spring that can rust. If you need to move the hookah, hold it!

What is a hookah made of?

Its main detail is the flask. In a home-made apparatus, an old teapot that has come into circulation (preferably a metal one) will quite serve as it. Another important element is the hose. Well, if you did not have time to part with the old hose from the shower. If you have time, you will have to buy the cheapest option in a plumbing store.

As other spare parts, we take a steel damper for the sink, an unnecessary burner from a gas stove and a small iron tube with a diameter of about 3 cm. Of the tools, you only need to take care of the soldering rod.

We make a hookah with our own hands - the main stages

At first, the most difficult thing is the manufacture of a hookah mine. We connect the steel tube and the tile burner as follows: we turn one end of the pipe into a cone, then we simply hammer the pipe into the burner with a hammer. If everything is done correctly, the design will come out tight and durable.

Then in the kettle you need to drill a hole for the pipe. It is made in the lid and should fit the tube in size. For maximum fixation, provide the pipe with small grooves. Then we lower it into the kettle approximately to the level of the base of its spout, and solder the upper connection. We remove the cover and after that the structure is sealed from below. The soldering areas are cleaned. So the hookah shaft is ready!

What's next?

The next step is to connect the hose. We saw off a piece from the spout of our teapot at such a distance that the hole of the remaining part exactly matches the diameter of the hose - for a tight connection. We push the rubber part of the hose into the spout and fix it with electrical tape.

The braid from the hose, together with the nut, is put on the spout of the kettle. Then the lid and the entire kettle are sealed with foil, a funnel is twisted from it, which is placed in the burner. A mesh for a washbasin is placed on the burner, and the hookah is ready with your own hands - you can try it out.

Of course, the manufacture of this device will require some effort, but as a result you will get a solid device for reusable use. If you have the desire and creativity, you can get a stylish and original hookah with your own hands - the photos shown here demonstrate the flight of the authors' imagination.

Do-it-yourself hookah from a bottle - fast and cheap

But what to do when there is absolutely no desire to mess with soldering and other things, and the idea of ​​​​a homemade hookah does not go out of your head?

From a plastic bottle with a volume of 2 liters, you can make an excellent hookah with your own hands at no special cost. In addition to the bottle, a tin can, tubes for the dropper system, a rubber cork, a piece of tube, foil and a knife are taken.

This hookah option is simple and economical. Three holes are made in a plastic bottle, a pair is next to each other, the third is opposite them. After that, holes are cut in the bottom of the can with a knife, and a wide hole is made on the other side of the can.

The rubber stopper, which will serve as a seal, is also provided with a hole. Then the metal-plastic tube is placed inside the bottle, water is poured in, everything is closed with a cork. Tubes are inserted into a pair of bottle holes, a tin can is fixed. The third of the holes must also be closed (for example, with the body of a ballpoint pen). Tobacco is poured into the jar, on top we cover everything with foil with pierced holes.

fruit hookah

Want to enjoy fragrant smoke with minimal effort? Try to make a hookah with your own hands (the simplest design) from an empty plastic bottle (or an ordinary glass) with any fresh fruit - say, an apple. Each of the fruits will add its own characteristic aroma to the hookah smoke, as a result we have a richer taste, and tobacco with fruit juice does not dry out so quickly.

Before work, stock up on the fruit itself, a toothpick, foil, knife, coal and tobacco. Take fruits that are dense - so that they can withstand high temperatures for longer. It is desirable that it is possible to remove seeds from them while maintaining the original shape of our fruit.

In addition to apples (green ones are best), you should pay attention to pears, melons, grapefruits, and pomegranates. Stay away from oranges, bananas, tangerines, and red apples - their resistance to heat is much lower.

The selected fruit will serve as a bowl. First, pour cold water into the flask of the disassembled hookah to a level three centimeters above its tube. We cut off the top from our fruit “bowl” with a knife, take out the pulp so that tobacco can be poured inside. And before that, cover the bottom of the fruit with foil with small holes made with a toothpick. After falling asleep tobacco, the top is closed with the same foil.

Electronic hookah

In large cities, the idea of ​​an electronic hookah has found its embodiment in a similar way to the situation with electronic cigarettes. Smokers of such hookahs subsequently abandoned traditional cigarettes and switched to electronic ones. What is the difference between them, can these tools mutually replace each other, and is an electronic hookah equivalent to a traditional one?

Those who want to enjoy electronic hookah do not need to fill the bowl or light the coals. It prepares in a few minutes. Versions of it exist both with nicotine and without it. In the West, it is customary to produce such hookahs in the form of electronic cigars or hookah sticks; in our country, a variant of the traditional form, reminiscent of the usual one, is more common.

In fact, this is the same electronic cigarette combined with a hookah form. You can make an electronic hookah with your own hands by converting the classic hookah body to high power and an air intake system that allows you to achieve the same effect as with traditional smoking.

The device placed inside is quite simple and is a steam generator in the form of a nichrome tape. Upon reaching the desired temperature, aromatic water is converted into steam. The process is designed for about 40 minutes, but a hookah assembled by oneself may be slightly bitter.

From a plastic bottle

First, let's look at the standard components for making a hookah. Typically, a smoking device includes the following parts:

  • flask;
  • mine;
  • bowl;
  • hose.

In the original, a flask is a glass vessel into which liquid is poured and a shaft is immersed to cool the smoke. In fact, almost any container can act as a flask. And, perhaps, the first thing that comes to mind is a bottle. As the Crazy Hands program proved back in the 90s, you can make anything your heart desires from a plastic bottle. Including a smoking device!

How to make a hookah from a bottle? To do this, you will need, in fact, the bottle itself, foil, an apple, two plastic caps (one larger, the other smaller), a pipe (about 30 centimeters), toothpicks, hookah tobacco and coal. If you don’t have a large enough vessel at hand, you can even replace it with a liter one, since making a mini hookah at home is also a good idea.

  • First you need to make holes in both covers equal to the diameter of the tube. Then press them together with their tops and thread the tube so that it is inside the bottle.
  • Cut off the top of the apple and remove the core to make a hookah bowl. We make a recess at the base of the improvised bowl, corresponding to the diameter of the smaller bottle cap, as well as small holes at the bottom so that the smoke stretches well and the tobacco does not fall through.
  • Also, you need a hose. It can be made of any plastic and airtight material (some use simple cocktail tubes) or a special silicone hose for hookah.
  • The last step: you need to make a hole for the hose and that's it! A hookah from a plastic bottle is ready, it remains to pour water, pour tobacco, cover the bowl with foil and finish everything with hot coal on top.

As you can see, making your own device from a bottle is not difficult. It can be a worthy alternative if there is nothing suitable at hand. Cans, burners and any other containers can be used as a flask. The most convenient options are vessels made of glass or plexiglass. You can pick up a completely extravagant vessel and surprise your friends with a hookah from a samovar.

From fruits and vegetables

You can not suffer with bottles or cans, but simply take ordinary fruits or vegetables. Let us examine in more detail how to properly make a hookah from an apple, orange, zucchini, watermelon. The principle in all these cases is approximately the same.

Such a homemade product may turn out to be no worse than a classic device. Of course, small fruits cannot serve as a flask, although they are perfectly suited for the role of a bowl. Knowing how to make a hookah from an apple and a bottle, you can simply replace the latter with something large from the refrigerator. Instead of a bottle, there can be a plastic or glass cup. The principle is the same as with the bottle. A homemade hookah made from fruit has one unique feature: the flavor of the fruit complements the smoke. Thus, you can add, for example, apple or grapefruit flavor to the selected tobacco taste by making a bowl with your own hands. The pulp can be added in a small amount to the tobacco inside the bowl.

It is worth cooling the impromptu flask before smoking, then the smoke will also be cooled better. There is also one trick on how to make a delicious watermelon hookah: by making a hole in it, you can mix its insides with a mixer and use it instead of water. There is another way to make a good fruit hookah. To do this, you need to take a long tube and put apples and oranges on it along the entire length from the bowl to the flask. Such a device will look very beautiful.

Made of wood and clay

Those who have a good command of the instrument and like to create something with their own hands can make designer hookahs from various materials. This is no longer a disposable device that will go to the trash after use, but a whole work of art. Although, of course, it will not be as easy as making a watermelon hookah.

A wooden hookah can become not only a functional thing, but also an excellent interior decoration or a gift for a hookah lover. It would seem that this is not the best material for devices that will be exposed to moisture and high temperatures. However, a hookah made of wood can add special flavor notes to the smoke, which will differ depending on the type of wood chosen.

Modern electronic smoking devices deserve a separate discussion. Cases for them are often made from beautiful types of wood. However, making the entire device is not the best idea, since making an electronic hookah with your own hands is not easy, and can even be dangerous.

Making hookahs from clay requires the ability to work with this material and the availability of suitable equipment. A particularly beautiful product can be obtained if it is possible to use a potter's wheel for production.

When making a hookah with your own hands at home, it should be noted that different materials are more suitable for different parts of hookahs. For example, a bowl can be made of wood, a flask of clay, and a shaft of stainless steel. A good turner can make almost the entire hookah from stainless steel.

DIY hookah accessories

Since making a hookah at home is not as difficult as it might seem, you can try to find an alternative and accessories that make the process of smoking more pleasant or more convenient. They can also come in handy when using a store-bought appliance.

Tongs for hookah. In the presence of sheet iron, you can simply cut a strip of a suitable size and bend it in half. However, it should be remembered that the edges of such a product will be sharp and it is better to further process them with a file or sandpaper.

Another useful detail that can be easily built is a foil hookah cap. It's not as difficult as making tongs, just twist the foil tube around the bowl so that it covers the sides of the charcoal. The hood helps to regulate the temperature of the charcoal and will protect against sparks if the appliance is used outdoors.

If you make a hookah mouthpiece with your own hands, you can give free rein to your imagination. It can be wood, metal, plastic or clay. As a rule, such products are painted in different colors and given the most intricate shape during manufacture, the drawings of which can be found on the net. You can make a mouthpiece without frills, taking any pipe that is at hand

Many believe that the specific sound emitted when smoking is an integral part of the process. But if you prefer to smoke in silence, it's worth learning how to make a hookah diffuser. The simplest option is a pipe (shaft) of a smoking device with several small holes on the sides below. The main thing is that all holes are below the water level in the flask.

Using a factory appliance, you can also build a do-it-yourself hookah diffuser to make the process quieter. And if you don’t want to spoil the original pipe and don’t have a suitable nozzle at hand, an ordinary thimble is well suited for this role. It is enough to make a few holes in it and put it on the shaft.

Those who like to smoke outdoors know how indispensable a hookah bag is. Of course, you can also make it yourself, especially if you have a sewing machine at home. Let your imagination run wild and you will not go unnoticed. In addition, this is a great gift for an avid hookah lover, because no one else will have such an author's bag!

Now you know how to make a hookah with your own hands from various improvised means. Do not be afraid to experiment in search of your author's style and surprise your friends with unusual hookahs.

The first way: how to blow smoke rings with your tongue

This is the simplest method. To be successful we need:

  • Fill your mouth with thick smoke, while rounding your lips.
  • Slowly push the steam out of your mouth with your tongue.
  • The easiest way is to draw in the tongue, bringing it closer to the tonsils, and sharply throw it forward.
  • It is important to give the tongue the desired trajectory and control the movement of this muscle. After the movements are perfected, the smoke rings will turn out to be the correct shape!

This simple technique also has its drawbacks. The rings come out slowly and quickly dissipate. ?

The second method: How to blow smoke rings with a sharp exhalation of air

And this method will require voluminous lungs and a trained respiratory system. Its difficulty lies in filling your mouth with thick smoke and rounding and stretching your lips, rhythmically and powerfully “pushing out” the air. The disadvantage of this method is that the first and last rings may come out deformed (not perfectly round), and the rest depends on the quality of the tobacco, our skills and the density of the vapor.

Third method: How to blow smoke rings with your jaw

But this is more difficult. Jaw work. The most difficult, but effective:

  • We are dragging on.
  • We try to give the lips a perfectly round shape.
  • Now attention! It is necessary to sharply push the lower jaw forward and also sharply return to its original position.
  • As a result of these jaw movements, rings break free, which, thanks to a powerful driving force, fly off from the person who produces them for a long distance and entertain the audience.

The rings obtained in this way are able to grow to enormous sizes and stay in the air for a long time.

What does it take to learn how to roll

Desire, patience, a fair sense of humor. And some technical details. The type of tobacco plays a big role. It has been proven that strong tobacco gives a thicker, richer and more dense smoke. In weak varieties, these conditions are more modest. Also, the smokiness index varies among different manufacturers of tobacco of the same strength. It depends on the quality and quantity of glycerin impregnation and the feedstock in general.

How to make a smoke jellyfish

Medusa is aerobatics. A little more difficult than a ring. How to make a jellyfish out of smoke? Consistently release the steam ring from the mouth (we already know how to do this), wait a bit for it to become a little wider and release a jet of steam from the mouth inside the ring. The main thing is that the speed of the flow should correspond as much as possible to the speed of rotation of the ring, otherwise it will fall apart. If everything came together, then the second jet begins to gradually envelop the ring, simulating the flight of a transparent jellyfish.

How to make a smoke tornado

A whirlwind of a tornado is also an aerobatics figure. Our task is to “cover” with smoke any horizontal surface, for example, a table. Inhale deeply and exhale as much steam as possible, directing it with the horizontal position of the palm to the surface. After waiting for the smoke to fall evenly, sharply pry it up, as if scooping it up in the palm of your hand, and raise your hand up. You will get something in the form of a tornado. For complete similarity in the final phase, make a twisting movement to give the tornado a spiral appearance.

It's pretty simple on paper, right? But hard training and not such tricks obeyed. Practice and hone your skills and everything will work out! ?

Accessories: what to make a bowl, a flask and a mine?

There may be several reasons for deciding to make a nargile at home:

  • Saving. The cheapest device will cost about 3,000 rubles. Homemade - up to 500.
  • Broken parts. If something from a factory device suddenly becomes unusable, accessories from improvised materials come to the rescue.
  • Desire to create your own device. With your own hands, you can not just cut a beautiful cup of fruit. If the hands grow from the right place, eggplants, flasks, old computers and non-working appliances can be an excellent basis for an author's narguile.

Without reliable connections that do not allow air to pass through, any device will smoke badly, will not give smoke, and the taste will be “confused” on the way to the smoker. Therefore, ensuring the tightness of all connections is the number one task.

Materials must be clean and free of foreign odors. Otherwise, you can smoke cigarette tobacco or sand - you will not feel the difference at the exit. Ideally, use new or thoroughly washed and dried parts.

  1. Bowl- the simplest part in terms of alternatives, and gives a lot of ideas for creativity. First of all, open the refrigerator and see what is there that could potentially serve as chilim: fruits, berries, even vegetables and sausage! Any product in this role will diversify smoking, add certain notes to tobacco and will certainly surprise the company.
    Options close to the original: sink strainer, metal cans, foil. Handicraft masters themselves mold chilims from clay. Do such experiments not infrequently lead to the opening of a small (or maybe a large!) business?
  2. Flask- the simplest. Any container that can be covered with a lid and create a sealant is suitable: up to a soccer ball. A container made of watermelon or pumpkin looks spectacular and gives a distinct aroma during the session, it is simply impossible to achieve this with chemical additives.
  3. Hose- the thing is more complicated. You can buy the cheapest one for a couple of dollars, but this will break the concept of a "craft" narguile! No, we do not agree to such sacrifices.
    On the Internet, there is advice “use a metal hose for the shower.” In general, if you like the taste of metal - for God's sake. This accessory will spoil the entire taste palette, it does not have any taste presentation. Lick a hair clip and you will understand what this hookah will taste like.
    Corrugated plumbing tube - perfectly manifests itself in hand-made shisha. Take only a new segment! If there is a plastic smell, vacuum it up or leave it outdoors (on a balcony, for example, but out of the sun) for a couple of days.
    Another option is not flexible, as in the primitive nargile. They can serve as bamboo, a silicone tube for an aquarium, a cocktail tube (if a small device is to be made).
  4. Mine- this is what all the creators of shisha at home think about. Where can I find a stainless steel tube of the right length and diameter? More often metal materials are used, but here again we encounter the problem of taste. It is not always present, but until the moment of smoking, you will not understand whether it is there or not.
    As a disposable pipe - foil. A little shocking, isn't it? ?
    Foil is nothing more than compressed metal. The thinnest sheet is used for packing food and making shisha?
    In one layer - this is a very unstable "substance" that bends in all directions. We achieve rigidity:
    1. We take a solid product of a cylindrical shape suitable in diameter (an old water tap, a "leg" of a table lamp, etc.);
    2. We wrap foil around it in layers until we get a sufficiently strong structure. It is important to do this evenly, avoiding the appearance of cracks and bumps as much as possible;
    3. We carefully remove our “base” and get a one-time mine, which remains only to be inserted into the flask.
      The downside of this approach is that it is rather fragile construction, you should work with it very carefully, the chilim nozzle can be a difficult test, but we are sure you can handle it!

Exotic lovers brought such pleasure to Russia as a hookah in the early nineties. Do you want to try hookah smoking, but are afraid to waste your money? This article will tell you how to make a hookah at home. Having tried out such a simple and inexpensive device, you may think about whether it is worth buying a hookah.

Hookah history

The origin of this unusual smoking device is still debated. This is due to the fact that the hookah is mentioned in the history of several states at once. The ancestor of the origin of the hookah is India. There, in the fifteenth century, this device for smoking tobacco appeared. One of the reasons for the popularity of hookah in Asian countries is the abundance of tobacco. The rich smoked tobacco flavored with various aromatic and flavoring additives, and the mob smoked the so-called "tambak" - ordinary black tobacco. It is interesting that residents of different countries, even neighboring countries, call the hookah in their own way. So, in Turkey, a hookah is called “narjil”, in Syria “narguile”, in Iran “galin”, and in India “huka”. The word "huka" is translated as "coconut", it was he who served as the first material for the manufacture of hookah.

Later, the hookah appeared in European countries. Smoking tobacco with the help of this device has become something like a tea ceremony, it is, of course, entertaining in nature, but it has gained a wide circle of admirers. People who smoke hookah compare this pleasure with the love of good wine.

Do not forget about the dangers of smoking. Although in the process of smoking tobacco through a hookah, most of the harmful substances are retained, you should not abuse this pleasure. Fortunately, now there are many tobaccos that do not contain nicotine, and such entertainment as smoking hookah has become much safer.

We disassemble the device

Before you make a homemade hookah, you need to carefully study its device. This diagram clearly shows all the details of the smoking device:

Now we need to understand their purpose. The hookah bowl is most often made of clay or ceramics, tobacco is placed in it. A special mesh or ordinary foil is put on the bowl, in which coals are placed. Thus, the coals in the hookah do not have direct contact with tobacco, and it does not burn, but only heats up. At the same time, hookah smoke is released - a mixture of vapors of essential oils.

The next important part of the hookah is the shaft. It is in it that the smoke is cooled, therefore, mines are most often made of a material with high thermal conductivity, for example, stainless steel. Its height is also of considerable importance: the larger it is, the better the smoke is cooled. Due to the flask, more precisely, the liquid poured into it, the hookah smoke is cooled and moistened, as well as filtered. The most convenient flasks are made of transparent glass, the liquid level is clearly visible in them. The hookah hose must be airtight, long and flexible.

Home hookah

Having learned about the device of a hookah, you can try to create it yourself. The most important rule in creating such a device is tightness. A leaky hookah can spoil the whole experience of smoking tobacco in this way. The best option for a home imitation of a hookah would be a hookah from a bottle. Which bottle to take - glass or plastic - does not matter.

bowl making

You can buy a bowl for a homemade hookah, or you can make it yourself. A hard fruit, such as an apple, is perfect for this. The advantage of such a disposable bowl is that it can create additional flavoring of tobacco. So, to make such a bowl, you will need:

  • Dense apple;
  • Spoon;
  • Foil;
  • Tobacco for hookah;
  • Toothpicks.

Take an apple and cut off the back of it at its widest point. Carefully scrape out the flesh with a knife.

Do not remove too much, otherwise the tobacco will not warm up well and there will be little smoke. Make a hole where the core is located. Its diameter should be equal to the diameter of the shaft tube. Remember that in order for the hookah to work properly, you need to achieve tightness. Therefore, make the hole a little smaller, it is better to screw the shaft tube into the apple, so it will be denser.

Do not forget that then you need to shake the apple pieces out of it.

Now you need to make a lattice of toothpicks. So tobacco will not fall into the mine. Just gently dig toothpicks cut to the desired length into the pulp of the apple.

Homemade apple bowl is ready! By the way, you can attach it to a purchased hookah, and not just the one you made at home.

Making a hookah

How to make a hookah yourself? Its manufacturing process is quite simple. To do this, take:

  • 2 liter plastic bottle;
  • A tin can from any drink;
  • Dropper hoses;
  • foil;
  • A piece of plastic pipe;
  • Rubber seal or stopper.

In the bottle, make two holes for the hoses on one side and a hole for the valve on the other side.

To make a bowl, you need to make many holes in the bottom of the tin can. On the other hand, the hole should match the size of the plastic pipe.

Make a hole in the rubber stopper for the plastic tube and fix it in the bottle so that it does not reach the bottom a little. Before that, you need to pour water into the bottle. Its amount should be such that the tube is in the water for a couple of centimeters.

Insert the hoses from the dropper into the holes made at the beginning.

Pour tobacco into the bottom of an impromptu bowl and cover with foil on top. Make a lot of holes in it for better air access.

It remains only to strengthen the bowl on the pipe, heat up the coal and try out your invention.

Video on the topic of the article

As you can see, making a hookah at home is quite simple, you just need to apply a little patience. A small selection of videos will tell you how else you can make a hookah.

Is it possible to make a good hookah yourself from improvised means? Many hookah lovers are interested in this issue, especially in those moments when you really want to smoke, but there is no hookah at hand. There are several ways to make a hookah at home from improvised materials, which we will discuss below.

A bit of history

Hookah- a well-known smoking device. The smoke that is inhaled is cooled and filtered in the shaft (tube) of the device. The liquid inside the vessel retains about 40% of the various substances in the smoke.
The story goes that the first hookah was made in India and was used for pain relief during illness. Instead of tobacco, hashish mixed with spices and herbal preparations was poured into it.

Method 1. Hookah from a plastic bottle

Let's remember what components the hookah is made of. Usually this:

  • bowl;
  • mine;
  • flask;
  • hose with mouthpiece .

A flask is a vessel, usually made of glass, containing water to help cool the smoke. A do-it-yourself hookah flask can be made from any container. Of course, we immediately recall an ordinary bottle.

How to make a hookah with your own hands from an ordinary plastic bottle? You will need to take:

  1. a 2 liter bottle;
  2. foil;
  3. two plastic lids of different sizes;
  4. apple;
  5. tube;
  6. toothpicks;
  7. hookah tobacco;
  8. coal.

First of all, it is worth making holes for the tube in the caps. After the caps are pressed against each other by the tops, and the tube is threaded so as to be inside the bottle.
A do-it-yourself hookah bowl is made from an apple. To do this, the top of the fruit is cut off, the core is removed. After that, a recess is made at the base of the "bowl" in size the same as the diameter of the small lid. At the bottom with something thin and sharp, you need to make small holes. This will allow the smoke to stretch well, but will not allow the tobacco to sink through.
At the very end, a hole is made into which the hose will be inserted and the hookah is ready at home! It remains to pour water into a bottle, pour tobacco, put foil on top, add hot coal.

Method 2. Hookah from vegetables and fruits

It is not always necessary to look for plastic bottles, because you can build a hookah from fruits or vegetables. How to make a hookah with your own hands at home will be described below.
Instead of a bottle, in this case, you can use a glass, and apples, an orange, a watermelon or a zucchini will act as a bowl. The principle of making this homemade hookah is the same as in the previous version. The only difference with this variant is the fruit flavor that will complement the smoke.
Before smoking, it is recommended to cool the glass so that the smoke also cools faster.
Interesting fact: In Israel and Turkey, hookah is called nargyleh and nargile. Translated, this word means coconut. It was from this nut that the vessel of the device was made in ancient times.

Method 3. Wooden hookah

This is a great option for those who like to make everything with their own hands and do a good job with the tool. A hookah made of wood and clay is no longer just a disposable device, but a real work of art. But making it is still not as easy as the previous options.
A handmade wooden hookah at home can be a great gift or decorate the interior. At first glance, it seems that wood is the best material for such a device, because it will often be affected by moisture and high temperatures. Nevertheless, it is this material that is able to give the taste of smoke special notes that depend on the selected wood species.

Method 4. Watermelon hookah

Such a hookah at home turns out to be disposable, but it is quite easy to make it. For a bowl, any round fruit is taken, for example, an apple or a grapefruit. The top of the fruit is cut off, and the core is removed so that the wall thickness is about half a centimeter.
As a mine for a hookah with your own hands, you can use an aluminum tube or a tube made of food grade stainless steel. Other metals can change the taste of tobacco. If it is difficult to find such a tube, then you can take a thick marker or pencil and wrap food foil on it.
To make a flask, we take a watermelon. The upper part of the watermelon is cut off under the shaft of the required diameter, and the pulp of the berry is taken out. Subsequently, it can be used instead of water before carefully grinding.
A hose for such a homemade hookah at home is best purchased at a specialized store. But a flexible hose from the shower or a thin plastic corrugated pipe is also suitable for this.

Method 5. Hookah from a glass jar

To make such a glass hookah with your own hands, you will need a 3-liter glass jar, an aquarium hose, a bowl, a rubber stopper, a tube, super glue, and a lid for the jar.
So, he will start assembling a hookah from a can with his own hands. First of all, we make two holes in the lid - the first for the hose, the second for the exit of smoke. We insert a tube, a rubber stopper, while fastening the stopper and the cover with glue. The length of the tube should be equal to the height of the jar, but at the same time it should not reach the bottom a little. The jar can be closed with a lid.
We fix the hose well in the hole made. Put a bowl on top. It remains only to pour the liquid, fill in the tobacco and the hookah at home is ready!



Other hookah elements and accessories

One of the elements of this smoking device is a diffuser, which you can quickly make yourself. It helps to divide the flow of smoke entering the shaft, smooth out the draft, break larger liquid bubbles into soft ones so that the hookah does not gurgle. Also, this device helps to improve the filtration and cooling of smoke, make the process of smoking easy.

Making a diffuser for a hookah with your own hands is not so difficult.. For its manufacture, you can take:

  • The chocolate kinder packaging is a surprise. On one side of the package, a hole is cut for the shaft, and on the other side, many small holes are made with a large needle.
  • A jar of film is perfect, with which you need to do the same as in the previous version.
  • You can also use foil. A sheet about 15x20 cm in size is folded in half.
  • Small holes are also made in the center. After that, the foil is wound around the finger to make something like a breastplate, and then the resulting design is put on the shaft.
  • A rubber hose with a diameter of 3-4 cm is perhaps the easiest and fastest option.
  • Holes are made at the bottom of the hoses, and the resulting diffuser is put on the shaft.
  • You can also use a thimble. We drill holes in it, dress it, fasten it well and you're done.
  • You may also need a brush to care for the hookah. It helps to get rid of contaminants inside the bowl, flask, hose of the device. If for some reason you urgently need this thing, but you don’t have it at hand, then you can make a hookah brush with your own hands. To do this, you need to take a fishing line, the length of which is twice as long as the shaft, and we wind rags on the fishing line. After we put the fishing line into the tube and clean it until we wash the maximum amount of dirt.

Tobacco

If you decide to make your own hookah, you may also need a tobacco recipe that you can make yourself.
For cooking, you will need molasses, tobacco from cigarettes or pipes (pipe is better), glycerin and essential oils that you like. Molasses can be replaced with honey or jam.
Because purchased tobacco is too strong, part of the fortress will have to be removed. To do this, pour the required amount of tobacco only with boiled water, pass through a sieve, wring out and dry in the oven, setting the minimum temperature. We mix dry tobacco with a small amount of purchased tobacco, pour in 2 tubes of glycerin, 5-10 drops of essential oil. Pour in the molasses until the mixture looks like a thick jam. The finished mixture should be laid in a jar and left for a week.

Homemade hookah bag

Whether it is a hookah made at home or bought in a specialized store, this is a fragile thing. If you plan to carry the device with you to friends or on vacation, you should consider a bag for this device.

To sew a bag at home, you will need:

  • sewing machine with a thick needle;
  • scissors;
  • meter;
  • a piece of chalk and a pencil;
  • paper;
  • textile;
  • braid.

First of all, you need to make a pattern of a hookah bag. On the Internet, you can find many options for such patterns. First, the pattern is drawn on paper, and then transferred to the fabric. After the pattern is ready. All elements are connected, the bag is decorated with locks, chains, etc.
As you can see, making a hookah from improvised means at home is not very difficult. Having such a device at home, you can always relax and enjoy your vacation. To do this, you will not even need to go to a hookah lounge. Having made a hookah with your own hands, you can surprise your friends, and you yourself will enjoy it.
