I promised you something interesting due to the lack of Monday, and here it is, it's about a nice
tutorial to make your own water pipe, you can call it by many strange names like
hookah, narghile, narghila, shisha or sheesha, water-pipe or hubbly-bubbly. No matter how you call it,
the idea is the same.
Let's get started so we don't make the post too long. What we are going to need is:
1 glass jar with lid
1 aluminum can
1 plastic bottle of 600ml
40 centimeters (minimum) of half-inch hose
Silicone or UHU glue
1 knife
1 can opener
1 hammer
1 nail
The first thing we have to do is
cut the plastic bottle right along the line where the label ends, we can do this.
with scissors or by heating the knife to melt and cut the plastic in a way
uniform. Now we have to prepare the aluminum can, this step is simple because
just with a bottle opener you need to remove the top cap.
Things must remain this way:
Now with the hammer and the nail we must pierce the other edge of the can, it is important that
the perforations should be uniform, that is, they should follow a defined pattern in
distance and size. It should look something like this:
Now that the two pieces are ready, we proceed to glue them with silicone trying to seal.
totally any possible air intake. Be careful, remember to take in the
moment of gluing the plastic bottle and not the aluminum one.
It's time to leave this part of the material to cool down; now we need to move on to the lid.
from the bottle. In it, we must be cautious as we need to make a hole to
sufficiently large for the hose to pass through somewhat forced and not
to transfer, I recommend heating a knife and gently inserting it into the center,
after that just turn it slowly so that we can control the size of the
hole. When finished, do not forget to remove the burrs that will form around.
Having done this, you just need to pass the hose through the middle, remember that it has to enter a
a little forced, if it fits very easily it will be best to get another screw cap. In the end
it should look something like this:
The next step is to place the length of hose we need, for that we must
to give only a couple of centimeters on the side of the threading and on the other side enough to
that touches the bottom of the bottle we will use. Now we need to add silicone to the side of the
twisted to seal any possible leaks. To avoid damaging the lid's rope they
I recommend that you apply the silicone and seconds later screw it in and out several times.
times to keep the lid's cord intact.
Now a hole must be made in the cap of the jar using the same procedure as
with the screw cap preventing the drilling NOT TO BE IN THE CENTER, this with the
the objective is to leave enough space for the other hose that will be used.
We pass the hose and verify that the measurements are correct so that the
the longer side of the hose reaches the bottom of the jar without touching it. Once this is verified or
the only thing left is to place silicone on the inside of the jar and at the junction of the
screw cap with the jar lid, looks something like this:
Now we need to make a second hole in the jar's lid, the mechanics will be the same as
the previous drilling seems to be done in a somewhat forced manner to make it more
easy to seal and lasts longer.
Once the lid is ready, we insert the hose making sure that it stays inside the jar.
only a few centimeters from her, so that the hose doesn't even reach halfway
from the jar. It should look something like this:
Now depending on the hose you should cut it to your liking, remember that you must not
to leave it very low or it will be uncomfortable to use when it is on, it is advisable to
leave about 20 or 30 centimeters long, as I said, it all depends on taste.
Once you have the required measurement, it's time to seal with silicone, don't forget that the
sealed must be done inside and outside to prevent any type of leakage.
And now surprise, after the silicone from the previous step has cooled, you have to close the container,
Put the bottle on the screw cap and that's it, the pipe is finished.
There are several ways to use it:
You place what you are going to smoke in the bowl of the pipe, light it, and smoke from it like
You would normally do it with any other pipe.
You place what you are going to smoke on the head of the pipe, you place aluminum foil over it.
head of the pipe trying to make small holes in the paper, then you place a
lit coal on aluminum foil and bingo. (the coal is special, you get it in
the men's stores or in the Sanborns in the cigarette department
In my case, I bought Arabic fruit tobacco, it tastes good and leaves the place where you use it with
a smell like incense.
