How to make a hookah

Cartridge

Disassemble a cooler

Hose

Coupling and nut

Making a shaft

Step 1

Drill a hole in one edge of a cartridge tube to insert a tube into the hole of the magnetic brush (from 1010).

Step 2

To protect plasstic gears from overheating I put on the body of the capacitor (from the same power supply, which was taken cooler). The shaft must be sealed.

Diy hookah's tank

Step 3

Tank is a coffee jar. Make a hole in the cap for coupling.

Step 4

Screw coupling in the jar's cap and fix it with nut. Connect hose to coupling. Make another two holes in the cap for shaft and valve. Insert a shaft.

Valve

Step 5

It serves to equalize the pressure and venting of excess air of the homemade hookah's tank to prevent water geting into the shaft. Also, the valve is used to purge. While not strong drag valve need to pass air into tank, but while long strong drag - must totally blocked air. All air will go through shaft.
The valve consists of two bolts with a large hat, part of a gel pen and the housing. The housing is made from metal tubing, for example from a television cable connector. One end is threaded into the cap of the tank and on the other end there is two recesses are made for air passage.

Chilim

Step 6

Chilim is made of low-diameter cartridge and the cooler's grid

Step 7

To make a fruit hookah, i made fruit holder of the grid. Fruit inserts on shaft's tube and balk on grid to prevent from slipping down the shaft.

Step 8

From the bottom of the tube made cuts and the edge of the tube is sharpened. With this "device" you can make neat round holes in fruits, after which put them at the edge with grid and smoke.
